Certificate in French Language (CFL)

The Certificate in French Language Program aims to introduce novices to the French language and gradually strengthen their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills while also fostering their intercultural competency. The programme is based on the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Language), which is used to international standardise the pedagogy of European languages all over the world, and is designed around the textbook Connexions, Methode de français. In addition to the book, IGNOU has created supplementary self-study tools in the form of user manuals with study guides, grammatical exercises, and CDs for improving spoken language abilities and pronunciation. The program's key feature is that materials have been created in both English and Hindi and French to ensure that a broad number of learners may access them. This gives students the freedom to choose between the two media, depending on their linguistic background.
