English Language Requirement

English is the language of instruction at Queen’s University and in the schools in Ontario where our teacher candidates carry out their required practice teaching.  Consequently, all applicants to the program are required to provide evidence of oral and written proficiency in English in one of two ways:

1. EITHER candidates must have studied full-time at least three full years (or the equivalent) at a university where the language of instruction and examination was in English in a country where one of the official languages is English.  Time spent in ESL courses or in an ESL program is not counted toward this three-year requirement.  Applicants who have attended university other than in North America must submit a letter from the university verifying that the language of instruction and examination was English.

2. OR candidates must have achieved the required level of proficiency on one of the three tests of English language on our website: http://educ.queensu.ca/teachereducation/howtoapply/consecutive/supplemental/FacilityinEnglish.html

Candidates admitted to the program who are found to have an unsatisfactory command of the English language, either spoken or written, where their language skills interfere with their ability to communicate effectively in the classroom, may be required to take remedial work or may be asked to withdraw from the program.
