RTCC Language-competency Assessment Phase II: Results of the Pilot-Testing Process FINAL REPORT

The provinces and territories, which have jurisdiction over education, do not have methods to determine language proficiency specific to the demands of teaching. The Registrars of Teacher Certification Canada (RTCC) sought an English or French language proficiency assessment that would be common to all provinces and territories and that would help to meet their obligations for labour mobility in Canada. A review of existing assessments showed that none were sufficiently focused on the language competencies required for teaching. Therefore, the RTCC developed a teaching-specific assessment in French and in English.
