Aligned with the official France Éducation International DALF C1 framework
Comment ça marche
Select any of 10 DALF themes and instantly receive a complete exam — two listening documents (long interview + short radio extracts), a 1,500–2,000 word reading passage, a synthèse & essai writing dossier, and oral production materials — all calibrated to CEFR C1.
Every response is evaluated using France Education International's actual grading grids: coherence, lexical range, morphosyntax, register, and argumentation — the same 12 criteria real DALF examiners use. Scores follow the /25-per-section scale with the 5/25 eliminatory threshold.
The platform logs every submission and identifies recurring weaknesses — grammar patterns, vocabulary gaps, argumentation structure, sociolinguistic register — building a profile that shows exactly where you fall on the Below C1 → C1 → C1+ performance scale.
Aperçu
Two AI-generated audio documents per paper — a ~6-minute long interview heard twice and short radio extracts heard once — with MCQ, true/false, and open-ended questions worth up to 25 points.
1,500–2,000 word texts at C1 register. Practice global thesis identification, implicit meaning analysis, and precise reformulation with accurate AI grading.
Synthèse (220–240 words, 12.5 pts) and essai argumenté (250+ words, 12.5 pts). Marked on 6 criteria: length compliance, objectivity, task realisation, coherence, lexique, and morphosyntaxe.
Record your 10-minute exposé and 20-minute discussion simulation. AI feedback maps to the 5-criterion oral grid: task (exposé), task (entretien), lexique, morphosyntaxe, and phonological mastery.
Ce qui est inclus
Two AI-generated audio documents per exam — a ~6-min interview (heard twice, ~18 pts) and short radio extracts (heard once, ~7 pts). Question types: MCQ, true/false with justification, and open-ended — matching the official exam protocol.
1,500–2,000 word texte d'idées at C1 register. Questions test global thesis identification, implicit meaning, argumentative structure analysis, and precise reformulation — raw score /50, converted to /25.
Synthèse (12.5 pts) graded on 6 criteria: length, objectivity, task, coherence, lexique, morphosyntaxe. Essai argumenté (12.5 pts) graded on 5 criteria including sociolinguistic register adaptation. Performance mapped to Below C1 / C1 / C1+ descriptors.
10-min exposé (5 pts) + 20-min entretien (5 pts) + language assessment (15 pts across lexique, morphosyntaxe, phonology). Feedback identifies halo effects, register shifts, and argument-example balance.
Every submission is logged and scored on the 3-tier performance scale (Below C1 → C1 → C1+). The platform tracks recurring weaknesses across all 12 marking criteria — grammar patterns, vocabulary gaps, coherence breaks, register errors — building a detailed learner profile.
All papers follow the current DALF C1 structure — no domain specialisation (Lettres/Sciences split removed March 2020). Themes are universally accessible. Pass threshold: 50/100 with a minimum 5/25 per section (eliminatory).
