An “Implementation Guide for Instructors” is included, as a PDF, with this curriculum. LINC 5 is designed to respond to the increasing numbers of immigrants who are entering Canada with higher levels of education and are testing at a CLB 5 level or higher. Despite their higher levels, these immigrants may still have skill gaps or language barriers that prevent them from entering a training program or post-secondary institution, or landing a job in their chosen field.
This site offers CLB-aligned activities and information about legal issues, including many related to employment rights. It includes a broad range of downloadable booklets about a variety of legal topics written in clear language. One series has been especially developed for ESL teachers and learners.
Twenty-six activity kits with classroom materials for teachers and learners in Adult ESL and Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) classes, based on topics from CLEO's tenants' and workers' rights series.
Designed to teach newcomers about their legal rights and to be used along with the relevant CLEO publications, the materials are intended for learners and levels ranging from Canadian Language Benchmarks 1 to 6+.
These resources are posted on Settlement.org. Both classroom activities and lesson plans are available at each Stage 1 level.
This web resource is maintained by teachers in the LINC ASSIST Community Services Centre, in Edmonton, Alberta. Its purpose is to provide resources and an implementation guide for teachers using PBLA in their own LINC classrooms. The site is easy to navigate.
The "PBLA" section will take you to resources and examples of how to implement PBLA. "Teaching Resources" links to a variety of theme and skill-based resources. Some resources are Alberta-based and designed for ASSIST settings. Also note, Word docs on the website cannot be viewed on mobile devices.
