Some essential questions to ask when setting
IELTS requirements…
1.What is the agreed minimal level of English proficiency to cope with the academic and social language demands?
2.How does this minimally acceptable level of English translate into scores on the IELTS test?
3.Is there language support on campus (funded by whom)?

Further essential questions….
4. Who are the most appropriate people to take
decisions on standards in this context?
5. Should you set a single standard? Or should there
be different requirements?
6. Are colleagues satisfied that your current score is the
most appropriate minimum score?
