Les ateliers FL

It is a tool developed by the Council of Europe to assess proficiency in a foreign language, such as French, based on various criteria. Since 2001, it has served as a benchmark in the field of French language learning and teaching.

At our schools, all French courses are designed to help you progress and advance through the CEFR levels.

Students’ progress is assessed regularly throughout their program through formative and summative assessments. These assessments help measure learning outcomes, identify needs, and tailor instructional support to promote each student’s progress.
