Abstract
This article defines the language learning levels needed for degree-seeking students and for continuing education students at a French-speaking African institution to achieve minimal working proficiency on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and for full working proficiency. It describes a short course on American language and civilisation aimed at taking students who are independent language users to minimal working proficiency; the same activities also allowed students to work toward full working proficiency. Cultural competence activities were developed and tailored to focus on the United States and Africa. The Test of English for International Communication was adapted for testing and outcomes assessment.
