What is the DELF/DALF?

The Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF or Diploma of French Language Studies) is an internationally recognized French Language Proficiency Certificate awarded by France’s national Ministry of Education. It consists of a series of independent assessments based on a scale of language proficiency defined in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), a framework used in second language learning around the world. DELF evaluators are teachers trained and accredited by France’s Centre international d’études pédagogiques.

DELF assessments exist in different versions adapted for children, teenagers and adults. All versions respect the same format and standards but content and themes vary. For teenagers, there are the DELF Junior and DELF Scolaire versions offered at four of the six CEFR levels of language proficiency. These are identical assessments;  Junior for individuals, Scolaire for schools.

Six Levels of Language Proficiency

Basic Language User
A1 Recognizes basic language ability where the user can interact in a simple way. DELF** A1
A2 Recognizes the linguistic competency of a basic user who can communicate socially. DELF** A2
Independent Language User
B1 Recognizes a language user who can manage with some independence in most situations encountered while travelling. DELF** B1.
B2 Recognizes a language user who is able to communicate independently in most situations: construct arguments, defend opinions, explain viewpoints and negotiate.  DELF** B2.
Proficient User
C1 Recognizes an independent language user, fluent, spontaneous; extensive vocabulary; clear, well-structured discourse without hesitation. DALF*** C1.
C2 Recognizes an advanced language user; precise, fluent, sophisticated use in advanced-level and academic situations. DALF*** C2. 

*Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
*Diplôme d’études en langue français
 (DELF)
***Diplôme approfondi de langue française (DALF)
The 
DELF scolaire does not assess the two highest levels of proficiency in the CEFR, C1 and C2. These are assessed in the Diplôme approfondi de langue française (DALF), an assessment for advanced and adult language learners.

Why take the DELF/DALF?


Why are people taking the DELF at the Alliance Française?

"I chose to take the DALF for my personal and professional enhancement. I appreciate my education here in the U.S. but it was also very important to me to have a diploma from the French government that certifies my level of the language within the CEFR, something that is recognized worldwidee according to the common framework. I feel that the C2 diploma was a helpful element to add to my application to Tulane's doctoral program, and that it will help me in my career choices going forward - especially since I would like to live in France or a Francophone country."
Christine E. DALF C2 certified, 2019
"J'ai choisi de passer le DELF A2 parce que je voulais vraiment savoir si j'en étais capable, et continuer de progresser dans les classes. C'était gratifiant de savoir que j'ai réussi et que j'ai obtenu une accréditation dans une norme mondiale."
"I chose to take the DELF A2 because I wanted to know if I could really pass it, and to continue to progress in my classes. It was gratifying to know that I had passed and that I had obtained an accreditation by a global standard.
