Language Placement & Advising
Language placement
Everyone is unique when it comes to language skills: heritage speakers, immersion students, international students and students who have travelled abroad or been out of school for a few years have individual levels of knowledge which may make it difficult for them to determine the level of language courses that is right for them. If you are not sure which courses to choose, please contact the Modern Languages Coordinator for placement testing. Assessments can often be done through a brief interview or via a phone conversation if you are out of town. If you are e-mailing to ask about language placement, please include the following information:
- When did you finish grade 12?
- What is your first language?
- For how many years did you study the language for which you require placement?
- What grade did you earn the last time you studied this language?
- Have you ever travelled/lived in a country where this language is spoken?
(If so, please state for how long.)
