Phoebe Man, Taiko Drum Performer and Instructor
Native Language: Cantonese
English Assessment: Because she came to Canada many years ago at the age of 14, Phoebe does not recall being assessed for any language skills. She was not assessed by the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)*.
For more information on language assessment, see Communication Skills in USEFUL LINKS.
*Note: The CLB is used across Canada as the basis for language assessment and teaching. In Manitoba all the government-funded Adult English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs use the CLB. Some post-secondary educational institutions such as Red River College also recognize CLB test results for program admission.
