It is not aligned with CLBs, but would be suitable for Stage 2 learners. An Alberta-based resource by AWES developed in 2017, the document has Alberta-specific references and may need adaptation. It is a well-developed resource that covers federal and local laws, protective equipment, hazards and hazardous materials information (WHMIS). It also covers intercultural competence, and power dynamics in the workplace, including how to refuse unsafe work. The language is clear and the text is easy to navigate. Lessons include video, case studies, pre-reading and vocabulary building activities.
The Khan Academy is an American non-profit educational organization that provides free lessons, courses and practice for students on a variety of topics. Additional resources are available for educators. Their "A Brief Introduction to Grammar" course teaches parts of speech, punctuation, syntax and style through videos (with transcripts) and knowledge assessment challenges. This course would be a useful supplement to in-class teaching, and could be recommended to students for independent learning.
