General Courses
COURSES ON ALL LEVELS
At the Alliance française de La Haye
we offer a wide range of general
French courses from beginners to
highly advanced levels in varying
frequencies. Both day and evening
courses are available and, in addition
to the general French classes, we also
offer conversational classes and themed
courses.

OUR APPROACH IS COMMUNICATIVE
AND INTERACTIVE
At the Alliance Française we use the latest
French teaching materials focussing
on interactivity between students and
teachers. These materials will guide the
students systematically throughout their
learning career at the Alliance française
de La Haye and can be purchased at our
premises during office hours.
The use of the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages
makes it possible to assess the language
level against an international standard. At
the end of each session an evaluation test
is given in order to allow the students to
gage their progress in French proficiency.
THE COMMON EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK OF REFERENCE FOR LANGUAGES
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) defines the five
linguistic skills (listening skills, reading skills, conversation skills, productive speaking
and writing skills) on six different levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2). The definitions have
universal applicability. This means that, level B1 for French implies the same skills as the
B1 level does for Dutch or English. At the intake as well as at the end of the course, the
teachers determine the students’ level of fluency.

EVALUATION
All of our teachers are native French
speakers and are certified to teach
French as a foreign language. It is
important to note that all sessions are
taught in French, even the beginners’
classes, thus immersing the students
in the French frame of mind as well as
familiarizing them with the usefulness of
the language on a day-to-day basis. As
such, the learning of French becomes very
accessible for an international audience.
