Our curriculum framework
Our curriculum is aligned with l’Échelle québécoise des niveaux de compétence en français , which precisely describe what learners are able to do in French in a variety of everyday situations. It serves as a standard for describing, assessing and recognizing French language competencies.
The program includes 12 levels divided into three stages: beginner (levels 1 to 4), intermediate (levels 5 to 8) and advanced (levels 9 to 12). It specifies what learners can do in each of the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
