Canadian Studies

Canadian Studies 15 is a bridging course designed to help our English Language Learners gain important foundational language and knowledge before enrolling in future humanities courses. The course provides students with a rich language-learning atmosphere where they explore essential concepts related to Canadian society. Students use their own growing competencies in English to examine and engage with a range of academic and content-specific materials connected to the Social Studies curriculum.

The course is designed for students who are new to studying English and is worth 5 credits after successful completion. Students engage in a number of language learning activities, including grammar instruction, novel studies, reading tasks, writing activities, and speaking tasks such as presentations.
