What are the DELF and DALF? LEVEL PROGRESSION SESSION DATES

What are the DELF and DALF?
The DELF (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française) and
the DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Francaise)
are official French diplomas to certify of the
competency of candidates from outside France in the
French language. These foreign language certifications
have been approved by French law (décret of the
French Republic 22th of May 1985 for the DELF and
December 1988 for the DALF) and awarded by the
French Ministry of Education. The DELF B2 is an
advanced level of French which allows you to enrol in
a French University without having to take another
language test.
The diplomas; the DELF & DALF are in line with the
levels of reference of the CECR (Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages) as well as with
the recommendations for language assessing by the
Framework.
A junior version of the DELF exists for junior and high
school students and is recommended for 12-17 year
old.
The DELF PRIM version is designed for children
between 7 and 11 years of age and offers 3 levels:
A1.1, A1 and A2
For each type of diploma, the 4 core language skills:
listening, speaking, reading, and writing are assessed.
For detailed information about each level of these
diplomas, visit the website of CIEP (Centre
International d'Études Pédagogiques).
