About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Virginia Sauvé is now semi-retired after a long and interesting career in many different contexts and roles involving adult EAL learners. She has worked in public institutions and private colleges teaching all levels from Literacy to ELT (Enhanced Language Training for immigrant professionals). For 12 years, she administered and wrote curriculum for a private school she initiated. Since the closure of that school, she has worked as a consultant doing project work for funders and providers and creating workplace training for a variety of jobs filled by EAL and literacy learners in hospitals, garment factories, and a large variety of other venues. She also taught TESL in two universities and coordinated the Korean Teacher Education Project (K-TEP) at the University of Alberta for five summers. She was a frequent plenary speaker at TESL conferences across Canada during the eighties and nineties and an active member of both her ATESL association and of TESL Canada. She has written two other books, both for teachers, and several articles, some for journals and some as chapters in edited works. She now enjoys being a grandmother to five lovely children.
