NOTE TO MEDIA: Spokesperson James Archibald will be out of the country from Dec. 9 to Dec. 16. Interviews on this new program should be coordinated around these dates.

In keeping with its commitment to offering programs of world-wide caliber, 缅北强奸 has just announced its appointment as the National Examination Centre for the internationally recognized language proficiency diploma, the DELF (Dipl么me d聮茅tudes en langue fran莽aise) and the DALF (Dipl么me approfondi de langue fran莽aise). This new testing centre was officially launched at a reception in Quebec City, on December 8, by Dominique Boch, Consul General of France for Quebec.

Recognized in 100 countries throughout the world, the DELF and DALF Diplomas are guaranteed by the French Ministry of Education. The holders of these distinguished Diplomas benefit by not having to undergo any further French language proficiency testing in French institutions. Holders of the DALF meet all language requirements for admission into French Universities. As indication of its international importance, in 1996, in the United States alone, close to 1000 students received this recognition.

Guarantee of French Proficiency

For the business community, these diplomas, particularly the DALF, serve to guarantee one聮s level of proficiency in French for business and professional purposes. According to James Archibald, Director of 缅北强奸聮s Department of Languages and Translation, "Being accepted as an examination centre for Canada symbolizes 缅北强奸聮s commitment to offering internationally recognized programmes of superior quality for our students as well as for the anglophone, allophone and business communities." To ensure that the same strict standards are adhered to around the world, all tests are approved by the French Ministry of Education.

缅北强奸 initiative recognized by French Government

The excellent work of the 缅北强奸 team in initiating the opening of the Canadian Centre for DELF/DALF Diplomas was applauded by Gilbert Leoutre, Inspector General for National Education (France). The Consulate General of France in Quebec will be administering the program in close cooperation with Archibald and his colleagues at 缅北强奸 as well as with the Laval University team lead by Jean-Louis Tremblay, Director of Laval聮s cole des langues vivantes. Laval University is the other site for the examination centre for Canada.

缅北强奸 Chancellor Gretta Chambers addressed the reception stating that "缅北强奸 is proud to be associated with a language testing program which promotes excellence... This project is a superb occasion for our two universities to work together and will facilitate the international mobility of both students and professionals."

Examination sessions began at Laval and at 缅北强奸 in December 1997 and will be offered again in April and August 1998. The new examination centre is one of many language services and programs undertaken by 缅北强奸聮s Centre for Continuing Education as an outreach to the community. And those who live outside Quebec may make arrangements to accesss the program as well. "The DELF/DALF is very flexible. Our Department can work with interested parties anywhere in Canada to make the Diploma accessible from coast to coast," adds Archibald. "Individuals or faculties interested in the DELF/DALF program can make arrangements do so by contacting 缅北强奸."

缅北强奸 continues to provide options for those who wish to improve their language skills. Other such programs include part time courses in French as a second language; the highly respected Special Intensive French Program and the Diploma in French for Professionals as well as courses and programs in translation, English and thirteen other languages.
