Distance learning language diplomas in literal Arabic
The Diplôme de langue (DL) d'arabe littéral is a fully distance learning course spread over three years, each of which leads to a diploma. It is particularly well-suited to meet the needs of people following other courses or engaged in professional life.
The DL beginner corresponds to the first year of training and is aimed at a public of complete beginners in literal Arabic. It provides solid training and enables students to reach CEFR level A2 in two semesters. Validation of the Beginner DL enables the equivalence of the Literal Arabic UEs of the Introductory Diploma to be obtained by VAC.
The Intermediate DL, which corresponds to the second year of training, enables students to reach CEFR level B1 in two semesters. Validation of the Intermediate DL enables students to obtain the equivalence of the Literal Arabic UEs of the Arabic L1 LLCER by VAC.
The Advanced DL enables students to achieve CEFR level B2.
These are demanding courses, requiring significant personal investment. The workload amounts to around fifteen hours per week.
