- Summary:
-
An information guide for people who help newcomers to Canada, this book helps second language teachers plan the content of their courses, and makes it easier for settlement agency workers to respond to newcomers' needs. The method it advocates is question and answer, with the newcomer asking the questions. The ultimate goal of the book is to provide newcomers with a better understanding of Canada. Materials are provided at both the level of survival needs, as well as that of "higher needs." The organizational principle is a hierarchy of needs. Divided into five parts, each corresponds to a level of need. Part 1, Survival Needs, covers: geography; weather and climate; food; clothing; shelter; and avoiding embarrassment. Part 2, Safety Needs, covers: economic security; employment; shopping; laws and safety of the person; health; and an introduction to Canadian government. Part 3, Love and Social Needs, covers: public behavior; Canadian families; women's, children's and senior citizen's rights; education; Canada, a country of many peoples; and holidays, recreation and entertainment. Part 4, Esteem Needs, covers: authority; banking, saving, spending; ethnicity and multiculturalism; and religion and belief. Part 5, Self-Actualization Needs, covers: citizenship; personal goals; politics; the arts, sports, communications; and success in Canada: what Canadians admire. (JBJ)
