N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. 180-131); "A companion piece to the popular Classics Canada series and Contemporary Canada, this reading and listening text by Brian John Busby and Patricia Brock joins Prentice Hall Canada's collection of Canadian literature for students of English as a Second or Foreign Language. High-interest authentic texts at an intermediate to advanced level feature immigrant Canadian authors who made a significant impact on the literary scene. The fact that the writers were once immigrants to Canada should have a particular appeal for ESL learners. Selections include short stories, poems, essays, and scenes from a play-all available on  the accompanying cassette. 

Features
; literary quality-the selections provide reading pleasure and interest
; student appeal-the writers are women and men from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds
; language learning activities-foster reading comprehension, discussion, and writing skills
; helpful pedagogy-key words and expressions are defined in context." (Book Cover); TABLE OF CONTENTS:
