Orientation to Vancouver has been designed for teachers and students of English as a second language at the beginner level. The main goals of Orientation to Vancouver are 1) to help beginner ESL learners become more knowledgeable about the Greater Vancouver Region, its streets, shopping areas and tourist attractions and 2) to encourage students to visit those places themselves. Students will practise language functions related to requesting information about tourist sights, asking for and giving directions and talking and writing about Vancouver's attractions.
