English Language Proficiency English language proficiency is required of all students whose home language is not English and who are taking academic courses at Florida Tech. Evidence of English proficiency in the form of results from an Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (iBT) or International English Language Testing System test (IELTS) must be submitted to the university before arrival on campus. English proficiency is not required for admission or for issuing immigration documents. However, when students whose home language is not English enter Florida Tech without establishing proof of English proficiency with either an iBT or IELTS result, they will be required to take an official Florida Tech TOEFL (paper-based) before the start of classes. In this instance, students should register with the division of languages and linguistics at check-in for the TOEFL and report to the division of languages and linguistics for the examination results before meeting with their academic adviser. For all academic students (both international and domestic) whose home language is not English and whose command of the English language does not meet the requirements of their academic programs, English language courses at two levels of proficiency are available each semester. These courses are listed in the Course Descriptions section under “English as a Second Language (ESL).” Determining Proficiency The division of languages and linguistics determines the incoming student’s competence in English and establishes the most beneficial program of study. Both undergraduate and graduate students whose home language is not English with scores below 79 on the iBT, 6.5 on IELTS or 550 on the Florida Tech TOEFL are required to take ESL courses as specified by the program chair. Students who score below 45 on the iBT, 5.0 on the IELTS or 450 on the Florida Tech TOEFL are referred to the ELS Language Center on campus where lower-level ESL courses are offered. Only Florida Tech paper-based TOEFL scores are valid. No other paper-based TOEFL scores will be accepted. Students whose home language is not English are considered to have demonstrated English language proficiency if they have done any of the following: 1. Taken an Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with an earned score of at least a 79, an IELTS with an earned score of at least 6.5 or an official Florida Tech TOEFL (paper based) with an earned score of at least 550, no more than two years before attendance at Florida Tech; or 2. successfully completed ELS 112 taken at an ELS Language Center within two months of their report date at Florida Tech, submitted an iBT or IELTS score and successfully completed all appropriate ESL courses as determined by that test score; or 3. successfully completed a total of 20 semester credit hours at an accredited mainland U.S. university or college where English is the language of instruction, including three semester credit hours of English that qualify as transfer credit for Florida Tech’s Composition and Rhetoric (COM 1101); or 154 Florida Tech 4. earned a bachelor’s or higher degree from an accredited mainland U.S. university or college where English is the language of instruction; or 5. attended for three consecutive years and graduated from an accredited mainland U.S. high school where English is the language of instruction; or 6. obtained an official score of four or higher on either the International Baccalaureate Higher Level Language A examination in English or the College Board Advanced Placement Program (AP) examination in English Language and Composition. Students who score 79 or above on the iBT, 6.5 or above on the IELTS, or 550 or above on the Florida Tech TOEFL may still need to complete certain ESL courses if it is so deemed by their academic adviser. The program chair of languages and linguistics makes the final determination. For more information about the policies and requirements for English language proficiency at Florida Tech, contact the program chair of languages and linguistics in the department of humanities and communication. Registering for Academic and ESL Courses Students are permitted to begin their academic coursework in conjunction with ESL courses. However, ESL courses take precedence over academic courses. Although these courses are credit bearing (three semester credit hours per course, three to five days per week), they cannot be applied toward completion of a degree and are not included in GPA calculations. Any student who is taking an ESL course cannot take humanities (HUM), chemistry (CHM), flight (AVF) or introductory courses in engineering. The program chair of languages and linguistics makes the final determination of what and when ESL courses are to be taken and enforces all English proficiency policies. Any student who accumulates four failing grades of F in ESL courses may be academically dismissed at the direction of the program chair. International students and students whose home language is not English must have documented proficiency in English (either through submitted writing samples, or TOEFL or placement examinations, or a combination of these) before making the transition from English as a Second Language (ESL) courses to Basic Writing for ESL Students (COM 0100), Basic Writing Skills (COM 0110) or Composition and Rhetoric (COM 1101). Applying for Graduate Assistantships International students are eligible for graduate assistantships in some academic units. In addition to specific academic unit requirements, any student whose home language is not English, whether or not the student has graduated from an English-speaking, postsecondary institution, must submit a score of at least 100 on the iBT, 7 on the IELTS or 600 on the Florida Tech TOEFL, as well as a score of at least 45 on the Test of Spoken English (TSE) to be considered for a teaching assistantship. An iBT score of at least 79, an IELTS score of at least 6.5 or a Florida Tech TOEFL score of at least 550 must be submitted for a research assistantship.
