"The Canadian Language Benchmarks model (CLB) - and its French equivalent NCLC - represents an exceptional intellectual product that gave rise to the widely recognized system of official language training for adult immigrants to Canada. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary, Language is the Key celebrates the achievements in the field across a range of topics including the historical and political context that led to the development of the Canadian standards and their current positioning in global educational markets.
Beyond the historic and current achievements, Language is the Key offers a bold outlook for future scenarios branching out into higher education, workplace training, as well as international and indigenous languages.
Modern Canada has a humanist view of immigrant integration and prides itself on being a welcoming land... The last fifty years of Canadian non-discriminatory immigration policy implicitly underline the importance of immigrant access to official languages." (Book Cover)
