Highlights

This course prepares students who are going to take the international French examination “Test de Connaissance du Français” (TCF) and aim at attaining the level A1. On the one hand, students will be more familiar with the format of the assessments which cover three compulsory sections, including:
- listening comprehension (Compréhension orale);
- mastery of language structure (Maîtrise des structures de la langue) and;
- reading comprehension (Compréhension écrite).

On the other hand, students can strengthen their confidence by attempting some sample questions which are carefully selected for the target level. Although speaking is not tested in the compulsory sections, interactive activities which involve speaking will be included in the training to help consolidate students’ learning.
