Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program is offered as a Major within Bishop's University's Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree, preparing students to teach English as a second language. The Teaching English as a Second Language profile focuses on the pedagogical methods, curriculum, and language-teaching skills required to teach English-language learners in a classroom setting. The program sits within the School of Education, with a single annual intake in the Fall term and a nominal length of three or four years full-time. Coursework combines the general Bachelor of Education requirements with specialized preparation in second-language teaching methodology. Graduates are prepared for teaching careers focused on English-language instruction, including roles in Quebec's English-as-a-second-language classrooms and other jurisdictions requiring a recognized teaching credential. The profile is one of several teaching concentrations offered through Bishop's School of Education, alongside general elementary and secondary teaching streams.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Bishop's Teaching English as a Second Language (B.Ed.) program page publishes no admission requirements of its own and points to the university's general admission requirements page, summarised here. Canadian high-school applicants need five Grade 12 university-preparatory courses including Grade 12 English, with Bishop's citing an estimated minimum admission average of 80% for all programs, though files are reviewed holistically rather than by strict cutoff. CEGEP applicants with a Quebec DEC do not need to complete specific prerequisite courses and may apply from any field of study; Bishop's cites an estimated minimum R-Score of 25 for admission. International high-school applicants normally need 12 years of schooling and a credential granting university access at home, with the minimum average assessed individually. English proficiency is required of every applicant, met by a Quebec DEC, three years of secondary schooling or 30 post-secondary credits in English or French, or a test: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0); TOEFL iBT 90/20 for tests before January 21, 2026, or 4.5/4.0 on the redesigned scale from that date; Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176; PTE Academic 65/60; Duolingo English Test 115/90; or LanguageCert Academic 70-74/65.
