505 _a"Famous Canadian Authors: Developing English Skills is an integrated skills textbook for high-intermediate to low-advanced students of English as a second language (ESL). Designed with a Canadian focus, it is intended to help both Canadian and non-Canadian students understand our community and integrate more easily into the society.
505 _aThe book's main objective is to develop vocabulary and reading skills through a primarily lexical approach while providing an opportunity for the students to improve their speaking and writing through exercises ranging from controlled to completely free. The students are guided through a process of thinking, reading, discussing and writing by means of a variety of student-centred, mainly communicative, individual, pair and team exercises.
505 _aEach chapter contains a biography of a famous Canadian author, which is a controlled text, as well as authentic scripts from some of his or her work. The excerpts were chosen based on their appeal and difficulty level, as well as the relevant themes and topics they cover, such as immigration, language learning, health, family, etc.
505 _aThe nine chapters, in chronological order based on the authors' birthday, explore Canadian literary masterpieces in a variety of writing styles and themes. Since the chapters are not necessarily organized based on difficulty level, and as there is more material in the book than is required for a forty-five-hour course, the teachers have the flexibility to choose the readings based on their students' needs."
