Charles Bendu, Teacher
Native Language: Sherbro
English Assessment: Not assessed by the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)* assessment.
Charles took the CanTEST**.
Recommendation: There are no official language requirements required by the Department of Education for internationally-trained teachers. However, a strong command of English (or French) is needed in order to communicate well with students, parents and staff.
For more information on language assessment services, see Learn English 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.
**Note: The CanTEST (Canadian Test of English for Scholars and Trainees) is a standardized English proficiency test used to determine if you are able to meet admission requirements of Canadian post-secondary institutions or fluency requirements of professional licensing associations.
