 Part-time ESL Program: We offer part-time non-credit courses for new Canadians and people whose first language is not English. Students develop their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills as well as preparing for the CanTEST and TOEFL proficiency tests. Visit ccde.usask.ca/PTESL for more information.

 Full-time ESL Program: We provide a program, which allows international students and non-native English speakers to meet the English proficiency requirements of the University while preparing themselves for post-secondary academic study. The Full-time ESL program is offered in ten-week terms, four times per year. It includes six levels of English from Basic to Advanced (University Preparation Level 2). Each level contains an average of 20 hours of instruction and five hours of sociocultural activities per week. Visit learnenglish.usask.ca for details.

 The U of S Language Centre also acts as the academic home for the Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language (CERTESL) and the intensive program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). We also design and deliver custom language courses as requested. Visit ccde.usask.ca/teach-esl for more information.
