CERTIFICATIONS The Alliance Française of Port Elizabeth is an official examination centre for DELF (Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) which are official qualifications issued by the French Department of Education to certify competencies of non-French native speakers. In 2011, 120 candidates obtained their certificate in the French language. There is a specially adapted version of the DELF diplomas for teenagers called DELF junior. DELF A1 (Basic users) Breakthrough / 60-80 hours* This level acknowledges basic competencies. At this discovery stage, the learners can interact in a simple way: they can speak about themselves and their immediate environment. DELF A2 (Basic users) Waystage / 160-240 hours This level is based on the same principle: it acknowledges the linguistic competency of basic users, considered as social actors. The candidates can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring the most common polite phrases and exchanges of information. DELF B1 (Independent users) Threshold / 200-400 hours At this level, the users become independent. They can interact, understand and maintain a discussion, give their opinion. They are capable of dealing with situations likely to arise in daily life. DELF B2 (Independent users) Vantage / 400-700 hours B2 users have a degree of independence that allows them to construct arguments to defend their opinion, explain their viewpoint and negociate. At this level, the candidates show a certain fluency and spontaneity in regular interactions and are capable of correcting their own mistakes DALF C1 (Proficient users) DALF C2 (Proficient users)
Effective operational proficiency / 600-900 hours Mastery / Indefinite
