French Embassy Honors AUK Students

The French Embassy in Kuwait and the Voltaire Institute, the Official French Language Institute in Kuwait, honored four AUK students on November 6 at 7 pm at a ceremony in the Lycée Français de Koweït in Salmiya. 

AUK students Faye Al Obaid, Monica Matta, Fawaz Al Yagout and Hala Botros were prepared by AUK's Instructor of French Language Joseph Fiannaca last semester for the DELF examinations. The DELF is a proficiency test, similar to the English TOEFL, and offers various levels. The students receive an official certificate delivered by the French Ministry of Education and the European Union. Mr. Fiannaca said, "It's very positive for the program to see students' efforts rewarded at such a high level and it will definitely encourage more students to continue in their learning of French or even study for a minor in French. A minor in foreign languages (French and Spanish) is in the development process."
