elcoming words
All the team of the French Institute (IDF – Institut de français) is glad to welcome you at
the University of Orleans. We hope that you will feel all right in your new French environment and also that
you will progress quickly in assimilating our language. We are here to help you to.
The Institute is addressed to different public and has 3 main missions:
• Help yourself to improve your knowledge of French language and culture thanks to general
French courses,
• Help yourself to attend or to pass the university studies corresponding to your specialty and to
your level of studies,
• Establish officially your French language level thanks national exams (TCF, DELF /DALF).
You can rely on the teachers and on the administrative staff members who are working for you. But do
not forget the golden rules for a good learning of the French language:
1- attending and taking part to the courses and to the other activities proposed. You will profit of a
number of compulsory courses, but you will also be able to attend optional courses, workshops,
cultural excursions.
2- a regular, deep and personal investment in doing your homeworks. You are the main actor of your
success.
3- an immersion in the country. You have the opportunity to be welcome in the heart of a real university
campus; these are the best conditions to meet other students, chat (in French!) with them or share
some activities.
Finally, the IDF is an exchange place where many people came from all over the world to meet and help
each other: everyone has got his/her place while respecting others. So, good work and enjoy your
university semester!
I
nstitute of French Language (IDF)
The Institute of French Language (IDF) is a common department of the
University of Orleans created in July 2007. Its mission is to participate and
collaborate on the international policy of the Orleans University through several
courses of French as a Foreign Language (“F.L.E”) taught to a non-francophone or
allophone foreigner public.
In 2008, the Institute has been accredited with the label “Qualité Français Langue
Etrangère” (Quality of French as a Foreign Language) delivered by the Ministry of
Higher Education and Research, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of
Culture and Communication.
The students benefit from the various University facilities, including the multimedia lab and the university
libraries, which will facilitate their personal work, along with the athletic facilities and university restaurants.
The French Institute allows students to live among French students and to participate to the campus
associative and cultural life which will make your stay in the Orleans University really pleasant and
convenient.

The level of the courses offered at the Institute of French (IDF) is determined by
the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
General presentation
At the start of the academic year (or the start of the term), students sit an initial assessment test. This test
determines the course level at which the student will start.
The IDF offers six courses corresponding to the six CEFR levels1. These term-long courses are validated by
diplomas known as DUEF (Diplômes Universitaires d’Etudes Françaises), in line with the framework drawn
up by ADCUEFE, the professional association governing most university centres offering French as a
Foreign Language (FLE) to foreign students, of which the University of Orléans is a member.
These diplomas are therefore recognised by most French universities as certification of the language level
required to enrol in their courses. They may be awarded at the end of each term based on successful
performance in the examination (continuous assessment + final assessment).
If the student is not successful in these examinations, he/she may continue the same course in the next
term.
Each term consists of 12 weeks of lessons.

Preparation for university studies / Introduction to legal and economic studies
Each course consists of 19-20 hours of lessons per week, divided into termly Teaching Units (TU), covering
reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing and speaking skills. These skills are acquired
through the study of French language, culture and civilisation.
The teaching provided at IDF also enables preparation for the DELF and DALF tests, the official national
French language diplomas for foreigners, awarded by the French Ministry of National Education.
1 The range of DUEF A1, C1 and C2 courses offered is dependent on there being a sufficient number of students assessed at these
levels following the test at the start of term, or following the examinations at the end of the first term.
7
Diplôme Universitaire d’Etudes Françaises A1 (DUEF A1)
The level required to enrol at the IDF is level A1 of the CEFR.
However, the test at the start of the term and the oral interview accompanying it sometimes indicate
that level A1 has not yet been reached. In this case, some students will require additional training, after
which they can take the DUEF A1.
DUEF A1 is an introductory course in French. It teaches the basic linguistic tools and elementary language
skills that will enable students to engage in very simple oral interactions, understand everyday written
information and know how to give information about themselves and their everyday life in writing.

In levels B1 and B2, the aim is to help students improve their
understanding and pronunciation of spoken French and make progress
in their knowledge of written French. To achieve this, they will...
study the "music" of spoken French (accentuation, intonation, liaison,
dropping the "e", register etc.);
work on listening to the specific sounds of the French language;
compare the way sounds are written and pronounced in order to
understand and apply French spelling rules.

Diplôme Universitaire d’Etudes Françaises C1 (DUEF C1)
In addition to the linguistic requirements of level B2, students in level C1 will learn to master "academic"
skills to produce well-structured presentations, note-taking techniques and the writing of complex argued
texts that argue a particular case.
They will refine their reading and listening comprehension skills so that they can perceive implicit
information, identify allusions and appreciate stylistic effects.
For example, they will become capable, without too much difficulty, of following a film in French, without
the diversity of accents or familiar expressions presenting an obstacle to their understanding.

effortlessly understand nearly all written and oral forms, and express themselves easily in any
circumstances:
their written work should become irreproachable and, if necessary, conform to the French university
requirements on structure and argumentation;
orally, students in level C2 will only be distinguished from native speakers by their accent and a few
minor errors.

From DUEF A2 onwards, the IDF offers students the opportunity to take part in a workshop of their choice,
either the newspaper workshop or the theatre workshop (limited number of places). These workshops are
not assessed. They do not replace the compulsory options. They are an opportunity for foreign students to
practise the French language in a different way, while broadening their knowledge of French culture.
Newspaper workshop
The aim is to produce a newspaper (in French) giving accounts of events in which IDF students are
involved, allowing them to publish discussions, creations etc., and to be a place for foreign students to
exchange ideas, both with each other and with the outside world, in particular with the Faculty of
Literature, Language and Humanities.
Theatre workshop
In this workshop, students interested in drama will use French language in improvisation.
They will then discover texts from the classical or contemporary repertoire, and interpret them through
stage design and acting, but also through more creative activities such as adaptation and transposition.
Particular attention will be paid to gestures and attitudes, elocution and intonation. They will be
encouraged to develop their self-confidence and express their emotions and feelings.
The workshop will take place in Le Bouillon, the University of Orléans Cultural Centre, on a real theatre
stage, where the results of the year's work will be presented in a show at the end of the second term.

earning assessments
Continuous assessment (CA) and final assessment (FA)
Depending on the Teaching Units, assessment of learning takes place through various assessments during
the term (continuous assessment) and/or at the end of the term (final assessment). These examinations
may be written, oral or written/oral.
TUs in the same term can be offset against each other, provided none is a fail grade. TUs for which the
student has not achieved the average can only be passed through offsetting if the student has passed
the term.
If the student fails the term, he/she may continue the course at the same level during the next term.

Special study scheme
Some students may benefit from a special study scheme.
This covers:
- students who are working at least 10 hours a week;
- students with specific responsibilities in university life, student associations or charities;
- students with family responsibilities;
- disabled students;
- high-level athletes.
Students in the special study scheme who cannot attend all the lessons must notify the lead teacher for
their group, and the academic secretary, at the start of the term. They must provide proof of their
situation, in particular schedules or timetables for their activity, so that incompatibility with the IDF
teaching timetable can be verified.
For lessons they are unable to attend, a special examination system may be offered by the department:
they can then choose to enrol for TU that they cannot attend. To be admitted for the diploma, only the
grade obtained at the end of the term, in the final assessment, will be taken into consideration.
Students in the special study scheme must contact the teacher responsible for the TU they cannot follow,
to be given the course programme and content.
Conditions of obtaining the diploma
The final grade is the result of the average of the grades obtained at the end of the term after offsetting
(continuous assessment and final assessment).
If any TUs are not given a grade, the diploma will be deferred.
The awarding of the diploma is made after deliberation of the examining board, whose decision is final.
