CAEL
The Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Test measures the English language proficiency of students planning to study at Canadian universities and colleges.
Why take CAEL?
- CAEL is one of the best tools for identifying students with the right English skills for academic success. Test takers read real articles, listen to lectures, answer questions and write a short essay. This test is an authentic representation of the language use in an academic context in Canada.
