9. Proficiency in English

A high degree of proficiency in all aspects of English is desirable for prospective teachers. The courses make strong demands on the ability of all students in the four areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening. It is part of the Faculty assessment policy that students must show a satisfactory command of all elements of the conventions of written expression, including spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, paragraphing and text structure, to obtain at least a 'pass' grade in written assignments.

You may be required to undertake English language tests as part of the process of selection. If you have not passed Year 12 English in Australia or satisfactorily completed studies in a country where English is the official language you will be required to sit the University Test of English as a Second Language (UTESL). The test is used to assess whether applicants have a satisfactory command of the English language, with particular reference to the demands of classroom teaching.
