What is the DELF?

The Diplôme d’études en langue

internationally recognized test of

French proficiency. It is based on the

Common European Framework of

Reference (CEFR), which defines

language proficiency along six global

levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. At

each level, proficiency is measured

across four competencies: listening,

speaking, reading, and writing. The

French Ministry of National

Education awards successful

candidates a diploma that is valid for

life.

Who Can Take the DELF?

Students enrolled in a ALCDSB Grade 12 FSL course this school year.
