T.I.S. prepares its students to appear for the official French External Examination. Students from various schools were hosted by T.I.S. to appear for the DELF exams this year. It was for the first time that a school in Jeddah was chosen to do so by the french Embassy.

The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Diploma in Advanced French Language Studies) are official diplomas issued by the French Ministry of Education to certify the French skills of foreign students and French people who come from a non French-speaking country

The DELF and DALF comprise of 6 independent diplomas. The candidate may thus directly register for the examination of their choice. Preparation workshops are available in our school. Each level assesses the following 4 skills: Oral comprehension and Spoken French, Written Comprehension and Written French. The minimum mark to be awarded with the diploma is 50/100 points (eliminatory mark is less than 5/25).

DELF A1 This level recognises basic knowledge. It is the most basic level at which a language is used, called the "discovery" stage. At this stage, the learner can interact in a simple way: he/she can speak about him/herself and his/her immediate environment. The language spoken is French (Francais).
