Grade 12 Applicants

French Language Competency Assessment

Applicants to either the Teaching Children or Teaching Adolescent pathways who wish to have practicum experience in French Immersion classrooms will be required to complete a French language competency assessment prior to beginning the program.

The French language competency assessment consists of oral and written components. The purpose of the test is to verify French language competency, identify problematic linguistic areas, and support students in their professional endeavors. Please refer to the Okanagan School of Education website for more information regarding the French language competency assessment.
