Prerequisites
To take this course, students should have an intermediate level in French (A2- to B1+). An initial 1h30
placement test evaluates students' linguistic skills including grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing
and listening. A 10-minute interview with a member of the ICL-Clarife (center of languages of
the host university) assesses speaking ability. Following the placement test, the numbers of
level groups are determined depending on total number of students, and are based on the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages (more information on www.coe.int).
If the placement test assesses that the student does not have the required level in French, they will be
oriented towards another ESP course.
