French mobility path
Turning French B2 writing into a score-focused plan
Learner: Canada-focused French candidate
Exam goal: DELF B2, TCF, or TEF Canada
The candidate needs French proof for study, work, or immigration points and has to connect CEFR levels, test formats, and writing expectations.
“I need feedback that tells me whether my argument is clear enough for B2, not just whether the French sounds good.”
Instead of memorizing essay templates, the learner practices planning, argument structure, and grammar precision under time pressure.
