THE PREPARATION FOR THE EXAMINATIONS DELF/DALF/DILF, DELF PRIM AND DELF JUNIOR

Preparations are organized at levels A1.1, A1, A2, B1, B2,C1 and C2 from the beginning of the school year till the Time for Taking The Examinations.

WHO AND HOW TO KEEP THE PREPARATIONS?

Preparations are being organized for students who already have the knowledge required for the level for the Examinations. They want to become familiar with the form of The Examination, Parts of the Examination and Evaluation criteria. Teacher provides students with all the necessary information as well as written material that will be useful and answer all their questions about the Exam.

In the second stage of the preparation the students do some Trial Test Examinations respecting the time limit. Students do some parts of the Examination for the homework, but they are required to act as if they are doing a real test: They do a task for a specified time, without the use of dictionaries, grammars and manuals or without any outside help.

A detailed programme of work will be made only when the teacher meet a whole group of students or individual classes, to be able to adapt to each segment-hour real needs of a given group or individual trainees. This means that in one group trainees might be given more attention to The Listening Comprehension, if the majority of students have difficulty in mastering the skill, while the second could no longer insist on Speaking, if the teacher considers it to be more necessary to the students.

WHO HOLDS THE PREPARATIONS?

Preparations are held by professors of The French Language of The Endowment Kolarac Foreign Language Centre, who are licensed Examiners of the DELF / DALF, whose levels are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF). Since in our center and classes and exams are organized also in line with the ZEO, The Kolarac teachers are highly experienced and know well what is efficient both for learning and for graduation.

WHY ARE THESE PREPARATIONS USEFUL?

This type of preparation is very useful for several reasons. First of all, many of the candidates, especially the younger ones, will take The Examination for the first time or that will be the first French Language Exam. The stage of fear and stress of the Examinations will be significantly reduced if The Examination is not a surprise and a mystery. In addition, trainees cannot assess what they are capable of, for instance, within half an hour, how it is hard to do tests two hours without a break, type of concentration they might have, how long do they need to rewrite The Concept, to use only a ballpoint pen, they need some time to think, to prepare The Plan of their Text, do The Concept and write the Final Version of the Text, etc.. After such preparation, the trainees could recognize what they were asked. The teacher would give suggestions to overcome some difficulties not only related to The Examination, but also in relation to the learning and Use of The French Language, in general. Finally, some students simply want to check whether they are ready to be tested at a certain level, discover their strengths and weaknesses, which will allow the trainees to be more confident and relaxed. They take The Exam and need the concentration.
