Education

How does school work in Canada, from kindergarten to university? This lesson introduces the Canadian education system level by level: JK/SK, elementary, middle and high school, college and university. Learners match ages to school levels and learn key education words such as diploma, certificate, bachelor’s and master’s degree, major, full-time and part-time. They see which verbs go with which words (get a diploma, go to college, study part-time), meet the first past-tense verbs (studied, graduated, went) and use them to talk about their own education. The lesson ends with a short interview in pairs and a report about the partner. This is Lesson 1 of a five-lesson series.
