Centre de Langues Luxembourg (CLL)
The Centre de Langues Luxembourg (CLL) is an institution established
by the Ministry of Education. Its primary aim is the promotion
of both the national language and foreign languages through the
organisation of courses for adults and young adults. In order
to meet the demand for language instruction in Luxembourg, where
nearly a third of the population comes from abroad, the CLL provides
language teaching for general and vocational purposes. It mainly
offers Luxembourgish, French, German, English, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese and Dutch courses. Other languages can be offered on
a temporary basis if there is a need. A secondary aim is the certification
of competence in different languages.
The CLL is responsible for the organisation of examinations and
the certification of communicative competence in Luxembourgish.
It is also the official examining centre in Luxembourg for the
following institutions: the Alliance Française and DELF/DALF,
University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), Goethe-Institut,
Instituto Cervantes, De Nederlandse Taalunie, Università
per Stranieri, Perugia.
The certificates in Luxembourgish awarded by the Centre de Langues
Luxembourg are endorsed by the Ministry of Education. No particular
conditions, in terms of residence or course attendance, are placed
upon registration. Examinations take place twice a year.
The examinations presented in this document are (in order of
increasing difficulty):
Zertifikat Lëtzebuergesch als Friemsprooch (ZLaF)
Éischten Diplom Lëtzebuergesch als Friemsprooch
(1DLaF)
Zweeten Diplom Lëtzebuergesch als Friemsprooch (2DLaF)
Ieweschten Diplom Lëtzebuergesch (IDL)
The LaF (Lëtzebuergesch als Friemsprooch – Luxembourgish
as a Foreign Language) provides for the separate assessment of
oral and written skills. This is done in recognition of the fact
that Luxembourgish is above all a language of oral communication
whose written use is more limited. As reading comprehension is
considered to be of greater importance than written expression,
these competences are tested and certificated separately.
Each of the LaF examinations consists of three components: Reading,
Writing and Listening/Speaking. Candidates may choose to take
only one or two components, or to take the components at different
levels. However, the higher level IDL consists of four components,
all of which must be attempted.
