    • Who are we?

      SIAL-FLE is a Sorbonne University service offering French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses to non-native speakers wishing to improve their spoken and/or written French. Courses are open to Sorbonne University students and adults from outside the university.


      Our courses

      We offer French as a foreign language courses ranging from A1 (beginner) to C1 (advanced) level, with the following options:

      • Intensive courses
      • Semester courses

      • Preparation courses for French language certifications


      The French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses we offer range from level A1 to C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and correspond to internationally recognised certifications.

      They cover a rich and varied range of French language teaching, from culture and civilisation to creative writing, methodology and grammar.
