Languages @ The University of Saskatchewan Language Centre

The Language Centre provides instruction in a wide variety of languages, develops learning materials, offers translation services, and is involved in curriculum development and teacher training for language programs internationally. Languages taught include English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, and German, among others. The Language Centre also offers a distance education program in written French and a five-week summer French immersion program.

The English language program includes non-credit courses in academic writing, TOEFL and CanTEST preparation, conversational English, and full-time ESL for international students. Students who successfully complete the full-time ESL program (Advanced Academic English U Prep 2) will be considered as having met the U of S English proficiency requirements. The full-time program is a 10-week course offered four times per year.
