What is the TEF Canada Expression Écrite section?

The Expression Écrite section tests your ability to write in French. It has two parts: Section A (a fait divers continuation, ~80 words, 20–25 min) and Section B (an opinion letter, ~200 words, ~35 min). Your essay is scored on the NCLC scale from 3 to 10.

You choose a prompt, write your essay in the editor, and submit it. Our platform evaluates your text against TEF Canada standards: it highlights grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and structure errors, gives you NCLC and estimated TEF scores, and produces a professional French rewrite of your essay.

Each essay submission costs 1 credit. You can purchase 5 credits for $1.99. Credits never expire and you can use them across Section A and Section B tasks.

Question 4

What TEF writing samples are available?

We offer a curated library of authentic Section A (fait divers) and Section B (opinion letter) prompts that closely mirror real TEF Canada exam scenarios. New prompts are added regularly.

Question 5

Will my score exactly match the real TEF exam?

Accepted Answer

Our platform gives you a highly accurate estimate based on TEF Canada NCLC criteria. While it is a strong study tool, the actual exam score depends on certified human examiners.
