DELF/DALF Exam Preparation:
The ALFMED Academy offers its students a preparation towards the French DELF and DALF exams, delivered by the French Ministry of Education. A very good level of French is required, as well as enrollment for two semesters, eight months from September to May.
Students can present these examinations through ALFMED, at the University of Perpignan.
What is the DELF and who takes this exam ?
The DELF (or, “Diplomes d’Etudes en Langue Francaise”) is an
exam for the first degree. This exam corresponds to a level of 400 to 450 hours of French coursework. It is intended for students who are at the advanced level who would like to progress in many diverse situations in every day life (social relations, professionals, conversations with native French speakers, comprehension of the media).
The DALF: Why and for whom ?
The DALF (or “Diplome Approfondi en Langue Francaise”) is THE diploma indispensable for students wanting to study in a French University. The candidates must consequently justify an excellent level in French, close to bilingual, since they are normally destined to follow university courses absolutely identical to those taken by native students. They therefore must perfectly master the techniques of summarizing a text, review or analyze a text in accordance with the criteria of national French education.
The DALF is not a national exam. Each exam center, like the University of Perpignan, proposes its own subjects as well as its own sessions.
