elcoming words
All the team of the French Institute (IDF Institut de franais) 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!
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 Qualit Franais Langue Etrangre (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.

ourses 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 (Diplmes Universitaires dEtudes Franaises), 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 Orlans 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.
Diploma Number of hours per term Number of hours per week
DUEF A1 228 19
DUEF A2* 240 20
DUEF B1* 234 19.5
DUEF B2** 228 19
DUEF C1** 228 19
DUEF C2** 228 19
* Choice of one option: The French-speaking world / History of art and literature / Language games
** Choice of two options: The French-speaking world / History of art and literature / Business French / 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), coveri
