ESL Activity Kits
Our ESL activity kits were developed using the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB), and are available at a range of CLB levels. The activity kits correspond with themes and topics in the Adult ESL and LINC curriculum guidelines.
What you’ll find in the kits:
- Case studies
- Reading comprehension activities based on CLEO legal information
- Varied quizzes and activities tailored to specific CLB levels
- Teaching notes with answer keys and suggestions
The activity kits are intended for learners at levels ranging from CLB 1 to 6+ and are available free of charge. They are designed to be downloaded and printed for classroom use.
Topics we cover: tenants’ rights; workers’ rights
