505 | _a"Gateway to Canada, Second Edition is an advanced ESL reading text. The content focuses on a wide range of Canadian topics, including history, geography, politics, sports, arts, and culture. Comprehension and discussion questions, as well as vocabulary review, accompany each reading section. The first edition of Gateway to Canada has been popular since its publication in 1996. This new edition incorporates many of the significant changes to Canada's demographic, political, and social makeup since the time of that publication. Advanced-level students will improve their reading skills and their vocabulary knowledge as they learn about what makes Canada unique. Full-colour photos throughout give students concrete examples of the topics discussed, and maps illustrate Canada's geographic diversity." (Publisher's Website) | ||
