Students surveys done in 2009-2010 with international students of Grenoble University of Technology show that FILIPE can contribute significantly to the acquisition of specialist French by non-French speaking students of different nationalities.
The students agree to emphasize:
Here is a sample of testimonies given by international students during the year 2009-2010 (NB: there has been no linguistic rectifications to these authentic assessments):
A synthetic article published in the newsletter UNIT #20 provides a quantitative assessment of the project (estimated uses, geographical distribution) and specific areas of development envisaged in the months ahead.

This new lecture complements the module "Basic mathematics for engineering", dealing with functions and mathematical induction.
14 multimedia modules are now available on the FILIPE website
This second FILIPE module focused on interculturality offers a comparative approach to higher education in France, seen through the eyes of the students themselves.
13 multimedia modules are now available on the FILIPE website
As in all FILIPE’s scientific modules, the presentations and activities of this new module are designed for non-French speaking students and are geared towards familiarising them with the subject’s key vocabulary and the recurring structures of scientific French.
12 multimedia modules are now available on the FILIPE website
On 3, 4 and 5 June 2009, as part of the 37th Congress of the Union des Professeurs de Langues des Grandes Écoles (Union of language teachers of elite universities) at the INSA in Lyon, the FILIPE team gave a presentation on the theme "Language teaching and intercultural training: possible synergies?". The presentation reported on an experimental intercultural awareness course based on the "Collaboration in group projects" module.

The French embassy in Hanoi invited Estelle Dutto and Florence Michau to the “Innovating in French” conference, held from 19 to 28 March, to present FILIPE’s results and give workshops on the topic of interculturality and the use of ICTT (Information and Communication Technologies for Teaching) in the teaching of (and in) French.
This invitation followed on from the FILIPE program's presentation, in December 2006, at schools belonging to the PFIEV network in Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City, which attracted the attention of key players in Vietnam's French-speaking community. The conference was organised as part of an event devoted to the French language, held over several days in Hanoi and then Ho Chi Minh City. It allowed ties to be strengthened with teachers of French (or French speakers) at the PFIEV network's Polytechnic Institutes who have an interest in pedagogical innovation.
Two French teachers involved in the FILIPE program, Anne Lhopital (Head of the FFL Department at the INSA in Lyon) and Estelle Dutto (Head of French as a Foreign Language at the Grenoble INP) presented FILIPE at the 3rd “Interdisciplinarity of Mathematics, Science and FFL” conference held on 13 and 14 March 2008 in Istanbul.
Organised by the Lycée Français Sainte Pulchérie high school, in collaboration with the French Institute in Istanbul, this conference was a chance to meet French and Turkish teachers of science and FFL (French as a Foreign Language) from the different bilingual schools represented. These enriching exchanges of pedagogical experiences generated a number of opportunities for future collaboration on the theme of interdisciplinary work in the fields of science and languages.
More information is available on the website of the Lycée Français Sainte Pulchérie..
This new type of module is geared towards intercultural learning. It makes use of an authentic video document, which shows how French students organise themselves when carrying out a group project.

Margret Decors (Troyes University of Technology) and Estelle Dutto (Grenoble INP), who design FILIPE modules and teach French as a foreign language, gave a presentation at the 6th CRITE conference on 27 March at the Ecole des Mines engineering school in Nantes. The theme of their talk was “Filipé: a tool to help assess the comprehension of learners”.

A prospecting trip to India from 21 February to 3 March 2007 was the opportunity to present FILIPE to a number of French centres and science schools and, in particular, to engage in dialogue with six teachers from the Alliance Française in Pune.
Alliance Française centres are ideal training providers for Indian students and/or teacher-researchers who wish to learn French. A deployment model has been defined with the Alliance Française in Pune, which, it is planned, will provide support for students taking FILIPE modules. The scheme's success will be heavily reliant on the development of a multimedia room at the Alliance's premises.
From 27 November to 5 December 2006, Estelle Dutto and Franck Meunier (Grenoble INP) were received by the establishments of the PFIEV (Vietnamese program for high-level engineering training).
