Exploring the Exploration of the Canada as a Topic for the English Classroom

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to demonstrate how the wealth of recently published materials on the exploration of Canada can be turned into worksheets for tertiary-level English classes. The paper begins with a presentation of selected mainly web-based sources with a rich potential for classroom use. Following this, we will address the issues of applicability (cultural, pedagogical, linguistic) and selection criteria (curricular expectations, skills and competences to develop, the identification of reliable sources and students’ level of English proficiency), and the actual process of the production of worksheets will be described. Finally, activity ideas on ‘Arctic Explorers’ and the worksheet ‘Expedition Vocabulary’ will be presented.
