Chers amis,

Welcome to France, New York! This winter, experience the City of Lights in the City That Never Sleeps–at the French Institute Alliance Française.

Our Sparkling Winter Season is bright with stars: Toni Morrison, Nobel Literature Laureate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and recipient of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres; Michel Legrand, the Grammy®- and Emmy®-award winning composer; Yasmina Reza, the Molière Award-winning playwright; John Turturro, the Obie- and Emmy®-award winning actor; Philippe Decouflé, choreographer, filmmaker and winner of the Prix de la qualité for his films; Jean-Michel Frodon, film critic and winner of the Académie Françaisé’s René Clair Award; Daniel Boulud, the James Beard Award-winning chef, and more.

Would you like to travel to Burgundy, Chablis, The Rhone Valley and Alsace–without leaving New York? Then you will love our new Greatest Wines of France Tasting Series presented in English. Or learn French while you learn how to prepare and enjoy a traditional four-course French meal in our new Cook in French Workshops.

You do not need to know French to enjoy our cultural activities; for

instance, our CinémaTuesdays films are shown with English subtitles. However, if you want to learn French, any New Yorker can tell you that this is the place to be. What sets us apart from the rest? We specialize in French culture and take pride in creating experiences where you can interact and have fun in French outside of the classroom. Check out our library, for example, where we now host book clubs and game nights in French, at all levels.

Creating accessible, appealing French experiences for New Yorkers is at the core of our vision to make the French Institute Alliance Française an innovative and exciting meeting ground for cultural exchange. Come, experience the stars and sparkle!

With warm wishes for a bright New Year,

Marie-Monique SteckelPresident

AF FRAMES Recognizing the Common European Framework (CEF) as a solid ground for understanding French as a Second Language teaching, learning and assessing, project AF FRAMES (Alliance Française FRench-AMerican Educational Standards) seeks to adapt the CEF philosophy and components to the American context and specificities. The French Institute Alliance Française is proud to be one of seven Alliance Françaises to have first taken part in the AF FRAMES project. A new textbook emphasizing task-language learning has been implemented that will enable students to determine their level according to this European scale.

DELF and DALF ExamsDELF (Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are back! These official qualifications awarded by the French Ministry of Education to certify the competency of candidates from outside France in the French language, are composed of six dependent diplomas that correspond to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Upcoming sessions are listed at fiaf.org.

New TechnologiesWith 1� classrooms equipped to date, FIAF is the first Alliance Française in the world to utilize high-tech SmartBoards™ in the classroom, allowing teachers to share and prepare digitized documents with students and to access online material for the class.
