Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English for New-Canadians This manual has been written with the intention of helping the adult foreigners, especially those of the industrial class; though it can be used with equal success in teaching children. Almost one-eighth of the total population of Canada at the present time is foreign, a large percentage being adult, and while the children are taught English in our Public Schools, the parents do not have this opportunity with the result that there is a tendency on the part of the children to despise their parents on account of their ignorance of the English language, thus bringing about a break in the home influence. Besides, a large percentage of the adult foreigners are not illiterate consequently are in a position to learn English pro vided they are given some assistance. Many derive their first knowledge of the language from the illustrated sections of our newspapers, while they are daily surrounded by printed English in the way of signs, directions and instructions. With this in mind the illustrations of upwards a thousand common objects, along with their English names, have been gathered together in this manual. The eye has been appealed to as well as the ear and every effort has been made to make the work concrete. For instance, no abstract nouns are used and most of the verbs are action verbs, while the. Eye takes the place of the dictionary. When the new-canadian looks at the picture of a 'table, ' he knows the name of it in his own lan guage and his desire is to know its name in English. A com parison of numbers will give him this. Hence it will appeal to the new-canadian of any nationality. It is not essential that he should pronounce every word since the word image willstay with him and he will associate-it with the object. Many native-born Canadians have learned to read, and understand foreign languages who have never heard a syllable spoken. Naturally the new-canadians with a teacher will progress much more rapidly. For a beginning the teacher Should teach his class the numbers up to perhaps fifty. Have them repeat the numbers in concert since this overcomes any timidity they I may have. Then let the teacher point out the picture of 'door' saying that 'one' is 'door' and pointing immediately to the printed word 'door.' Do this with 'key' and so on until all the objects have been pointed out and named. When all the words in the first lesson have been repeated in concert several times, each learner may be asked to repeat them by himself until he has a fair pronunciation. The teacher should finally write the words on the blackboard and have them copied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book HANDBK NEW CANADIANS CLASSIC written by Alfred Fitzpatrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook New Canadians It combines a series of lessons in English with considerable practical information about Canada. It is not intended for school children, but for the adults. The general information on Canada is meant for those who have gained some proficiency in the language. The outlines on Government and Naturalization may seem difficult, but in these subjects the average foreigner is more or less interested from the time of his arrival and, very likely, has already picked up a good deal of vocabulary. The immigrant finds himself in the midst of new conditions. He lacks the language, and everything com'bines to make him the prey of unfavourable circumstances. Even the better informed of his own race, already in Canada, are sometimes ready to take advantage of him. Particularly does this apply to the masses of unskilled labourers. The in ux of non-english-speaking peoples into Canada is very large in proportion to the population. We allow new-comers to live in settlements on the prairies or, what is worse, to form colonies in large urban and industrial centres. There, their racial characteristics are continued and encouraged by native societies and leagues, forming hich are a menace to Canadian unity. Hole sections of alien races in Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Vancouver, and other centres. The tendency is for the foreign-born to make little effort for naturalization. We havg a right to demand that every man who comes to Canada become a citizen of this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book New Canadian Library written by Janet Beverly Friskney and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1950s, much Canadian literature was out of print, making it relatively inaccessible to readers, including those studying the subject in schools and universities. When English professor Malcolm Ross approached Toronto publisher Jack McClelland in 1952 to propose a Canadian literary reprint series, it was still the accepted wisdom among publishers that Canadian literature was of insufficient interest to the educational market to merit any great publishing risks. Eventually convinced by Ross that a latent market for Canadian literary reprints did indeed exist, McClelland & Stewart launched the New Canadian Library (NCL) series in 1958, with Ross as its general editor. In 2008, the NCL will celebrate a half-century of publication. In New Canadian Library, Janet B. Friskney takes the reader through the early history of the NCL series, focusing on the period up to 1978 when Malcolm Ross retired as general editor. A wealth of archival resources, published reviews, and the NCL volumes themselves are used to survey the working relationship between Ross and McClelland, as well as the collaborative participation of those who, through the middle decades of the twentieth century, were committed to studying and nurturing Canada's literary heritage. To place the New Canadian Library in its proper historical context, Friskney examines the simultaneous development of Canadian literary studies as a legitimate area of research and teaching in academe and acknowledges the NCL as a milestone in Canadian publishing history.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gage's New English and Canadian History Note-Book What constitutes "England." What is commonly known as "England" is in reality "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland," consisting of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. England is the portion settled by the English. Ireland was conquered by Henry II., the first of the Angevins; and the Irish Parliament united with the English Parliament in 1800. Wales was conquered by Edward I., the fifth of the Angevins. Scotland and England have had the same king since the commencement of the Stuart period. James I. of England had been king of Scotland before he ascended the English throne, and he thus united the two kingdoms under one crown. The English and Scotch Parliaments were united in 1707, during the reign of Anne, the last of the Stuarts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Canadian Literature (English) Frequently I heard the statement made by men who ought to know, that Canada had no literature of its own, and in order to supply this deficiency of our intellectual life we had to depend upon the literary talent of Britain and that of our neighbors to the south of us. But in coming into Canada has the British race lost its ambitions and mental vigor? If so, why? The assertion is not true obviously with regard to the subduing of the forest and the cultivating of the virgin soil of this rich and vast country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oak and Maple: English and Canadian Verses I cannot let this little book go out into the world without a word of apology for offering so slight an object to the public notice. This, then, is what I have to say for myself: Many years ago, when I was yet in my teens, the larger proportion of these verses were written and printed. They were written in the Canadian back woods, and were first published in a collected form in Montreal. But, both before and after the gathering of them into a little volume, various single sets of verses (i will not use the word found their way into Canadian newspapers and magazines, and thence into American ones. Books were in those days rarely produced in Canada, and mine found many and kind readers, and made a little success.
