Introduction
This reader includes articles adapted from various sources from the perspective of an English Language teacher in Canada. Each chapter explores a different topic, and some articles give students a chance to learn more about the area in Southern Ontario where Conestoga College is located. The language included in each chapter allows intermediate language students to enhance their vocabulary and reading skills. These skills are further reinforced with comprehension and interactive vocabulary-building questions. This includes focusing on a list of 20 target vocabulary words from the Academic Word List in each chapter. We hope readers will enjoy using this resource to practice reading skills, engage in discussion, form opinions, and learn more words.
