The course is for students aged 16 and over who wish to prepare for the DELF or DALF exam. The school teaches all levels, and students take an online level test before arrival.
The programme combines 20 standard French lessons with 8 specialised exam preparation lessons per week, each lesson lasting 45 minutes. The standard course builds grammar, vocabulary, phonetics and cultural knowledge around the four CEFR skills, while the exam preparation sessions focus on the methods and techniques required for each part of the exam. Two mock exams are included — one at the start and one at the end.
Groups are small, with 5 to 8 students and a maximum of 10.
The school uses specialised manuals with exercises and corrections for DELF/DALF preparation. Students are guided by a qualified teacher who advises them and helps them practise as much as possible, with a balance between method and practice.
ILA offers carefully selected host families for full immersion in French daily life, comfortable student residences where students meet people from around the world, and an aparthotel option for independent accommodation.
ILA is the only school in Montpellier accredited by IALC, EAQUALS and International House World, and holds the Quality Label FLE. The school trains around 150 students per year for the B2 and C1 exams, with a 95% success rate last year.
