When people outside of Canada envision the typical Canadian, many

tend to imagine someone with fair hair, light eyes and fair skin. Upon

their arrival, they see many faces of their own country reflected back

at them and they wonder, Where are all the real Canadians?

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Canadian government adopted multiculturalism as an officialpolicy. What does this mean for the country? It means that Canada is a vibrant and diversecultural mosaic, that we are different from countries that have the melting pot policy. Itmeans that, rather than expecting newcomers to blend in with their surroundings, Canadawelcomes and encourages them to retain and celebrate who they are, regardless of wherethey come from.

In Canada, we celebrate a wide array of cultures and many of the holidays that representthem. For example, Chinese New Year is commonly celebrated according to the lunar cal-endar in January or February. During this time, some businesses even close and change

their work hours. In October, Diwali, a Hindu festival, is celebrated throughout Canada.If you walk around any metropolitan Canadian city, you can partake in an eclectic feastfrom several different parts of the world. For lunch you have a choice of pho (Vietnamesenoodle), souvlaki (Greek), tacos (Mexican), or shwarma (Middle Eastern), all often withina ten-minute walking distance of each other.

While its true that many countries around the world have a homogeneous population andcertain traditional foods that they are known for worldwide, this is not the case in Canada.Here, we have people from all over the world, all of whom are Canadian. Being Canadianmeans being accepting and inclusive; it means being open and welcoming to all the worldhas to offer.

It is sometimes said that the stereotypical Canadian loves hockey and beer, is overly polite,and always ends a sentence with eh. While these traits may be true of some Canadians,

our real identity is about being proud of where we come from and being able to share ourculture with our neighbours.

After you landLife as a student in Canada can be exciting and thrilling. It is

a chance for many students to discover their independence

and challenge themselves with new experiences and personal

growth. You will find many differences between living in your

country and living in Canada. You might also be surprised

to find some similarities.

Without a doubt, moving to Canada will bring big changesto your life, whether you are here for only a month, or youare studying here for a year or more. Regardless of how long

you will study here, you will have to face a new city, newpeople and new ways of doing things. Here are some quickfacts about Canada for you to check out:

Half of Canada is covered with forests, which shouldnot be surprising, considering one-tenth of the world's

forests are here. Many inventions including: basketball, the electric light

bulb, the electric range, the electron microscope, thetelephone, standard time, the television, the zipper, and

the first snowmobile were invented in this remarkablecountry.

The lowest temperature recorded in Canada was -63 de-grees Celsius at Snag, Yukon on February 3, 1947.

Canada is over 40 times bigger than the UK and 18times bigger than France.

Justin Bieber is Canadian and so is Celine Dion.

In 1883, the baseball glove was invented in Canada.

Canada is the 2nd largest exporter of potatoes in theworld.

Canadians consume more macaroni and cheese thanany other country in the world.

We have $1 and $2 coins. We originally called the $1

coin a loonie, and when we changed the $2 bill to acoin, everyone called it a toonie.

40% of the world's newspapers are printed on Canadian

paper.

English and French are the two official languages ofCanada.

The Trans-Canada Highway is over 7604 kilometres inlength and is the longest national highway in the entireworld. Canada has 38 national parks, over 1000 pro-vincial parks and about 50 territorial parks.

Despite being the 2nd largest country in the world, thepopulation is only approximately 34 million.

The oldest Canadian on record was Marie-Louise Meilleur.

She was born on August 29th 1880 and died on April16, 1998 at the age of 117.

you can find the most lasting legacy of the sinking of theTitanic. The largest city in Atlantic Canada has a large

collection of Titanic artifacts at its famed Maritime Museum

of the Atlantic, where visitors can explore remnants of the leg-

endary ship close up. Halifax is a place rich in history, culture

and breathtaking vistas. A mix of museums, art galleries and

churches, Halifax also boasts a hopping night life with plenty

of pubs and watering holes, where pub crawling is a way of

life. Those drawn to the salty air of the ocean can stroll along

the citys expansive boardwalks and find locals playing lively

Celtic tunes with a backdrop of ships from all over the world.

he capital of British Columbia, Victoria, is one of the most sce-nic of all Canadian destinations, and a unique mesh of British,

European and Asian influences. Its world-famous Butchart

Gardens houses some of the most eye-catching plants and flowers

seen anywhere, and is a must-see for anyone who appreciates natural

beauty. Want to sip high tea like they do in Britain? The Empress

Hotel offers afternoon tea, with sandwiches and pastries in a posh

atmosphere that will make you feel like royalty. The Parliament

buildings, particularly mesmerizing when lit up at night, are located

in the middle of the city and are also not to be missed.

Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia. Greater Victoria has a popula-

tion of 350,000. The city is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Islandand nicknamed Canadas garden. The year-round temperate climate makes

Victoria the perfect destination for visitors interested in playing outdoors and

strolling through gardens.

Victoria has a very unique sense of community. Each neighbourhood hasits own distinctive character and charm. Most people live within walkingdistance of parks or the scenic waterfront that surrounds the city. Thedowntown area is a short walk, bike or bus ride away.

Victoria has a mild climate. Even though it may snow, the snow will meltquickly. If you have never experienced snow, its nice to see and feel it,but it can be annoying when it stays. Even Vancouver gets more snow andis colder than Victoria. Because of the mild climate, there will be flowersalmost all year around.

The Victoria campus is small and intimate. The city itself is not as big asVancouver and Toronto. It is easy to get around by bus and doesnt take too

long to get from one side of Victoria to the other side. Plus, its a safe city.

The Victoria campus is right in the heart of downtown in an old buildingthats located in Bastion Square, which is a historical site. Its been aroundsince 1890. When you step out of the building and turn left, you can seethe inner harbour and the ocean. On your lunch break you can sit on abench by the water and relax.

Since Bastion Square is a popular spot, there is a market in the summermonths where you can buy clothes, jewellery, chocolates, books, andmuch more. Often there is a street performer who plays music. Victoria isan artsy city.

Our campus will be renovated December 2011. If you want to study atthe KGIC campus with the freshest walls and the shiniest floor, come do ithere in Victoria!

Victoria is an amazing city tolive, study and play.

In 1996, King George International College openeda small English language school in one of Canadas

fastest growing cities: Surrey, BC. With the dedicated

teaching staff and positive family atmosphere of this

small campus, KGIC quickly began to grow. Another

campus was opened in Vancouver, BC just over ayear later and from there the school continued toprosper and expand. KGIC is now one of the largest

ESL schools in Canada, and having been with KGICalmost since its beginnings in 1996, I have had achance to see firsthand how KGIC has succeeded

in becoming one of the leaders in the ESL industry.

One of the foremost reasons for KGICs success is its innova-

tive ESL program. Always a leader in the industry, KGIC hascreated a program that is tailored to the individual student.Its unique flexible level structure allows a student to studyin each of the four main areas, grammar, reading & writing,listening and communications including pronunciation, atthe level that is best for him or her. This gives the studentthe best opportunity to gain confidence and succeed in hisor her English language studies. In addition to this, KGICdevelops its own curriculum, which is constantly evolvingto suit the needs of the students. For example, KGIC is now

introducing the new Career WorldCurriculum in the higherESL levels to provide students with language skills and vo-cabulary that will give them more opportunity when movinginto an English-based work force.

Of course, another great reason for KGICs continued success

has got to be its staff: the KGIC family. The fully qualified

teachers are always ready to help students achieve theirEnglish goals and our unique Academic Support programhelps students to set goals and gain the skills that are needed

to succeed in their studies both in our ESL program and any

further education they should pursue. Furthermore, the staffs

enthusiasm creates a positive, family atmosphere that helps

students to enjoy their studies while living abroad.

Having a successful ESL program is a combination of manyimportant factors, including experienced qualified teachers,

a well-designed purposeful curriculum, and supportive and

understanding staff. KGIC has all this and more, but reallythe true measure of success for an ESL program is the suc-cess of its students which King George International College

has understood from day one when the school motto, Your

success is KGICs success, was introduced.

ence who know what it takes to take your English to the next level.

How is Career World different from other ESL programs?

Career Worldhas been designed to help intermediate and advanced stu-

dents not just study English, but to use their English. It combines real

world situations, communicative activities, and contemporary topics with

academic application.

What does this mean to me?

It means you learn English the way it is used in the real world, including

English for the university setting, the job, or everyday situations. It means

that you can feel confident whether you are speaking, listening, reading, or

writing in English. When you feel confident in the way you communicate,

you are bound to succeed at whatever you do.

What is it all about?

Career Worldhas four different series of exciting and compelling content,all designed to challenge and engage students in a variety of topics centred

on the world of careers and working.

Communications-Levels 4-6

This series features all new engaging topics to get students talking and structured

practice to help them improve fluency. Includes an all-new pronunciation section

to help students with word and sentence stress and focus on problem areas.

#InTheLoopLearn English in a social environment. The English language is a means of communication, and needs to

be used in social situations to be meaningful. You should speak English every chance you get.

If you want to learn English quickly, think of ways to make your stay in Canada more enjoyable. The foreign

students who come to appreciate the new environment and culture are usually the fastest learners of thelanguage spoken in that region. If you find your everyday life here boring, come up with more activitiesto make it more enjoyable.

Set up a goal to motivate yourself to study more. If you have something that you would like to achieve, youwill make a more conscious effort to learn more. Come up with a goal that you will have a good chance ofaccomplishing; make it realistic, and break the process down into small steps.

Take notes on everything! Carry a vocabulary list, and write down any new words, ideas or situations. Asknative speakers to explain them, or do some research to find out more.

To respond to a question, answer in complete sentences. Instead of saying Yes, say Yes, I did myhomework. Or, instead of saying Peter, say it was Peter who wrote the word on the board. If youkeep answering to questions with only one word at a time, you wont become able to speak like an adultand explain ideas clearly.

If you want to improve your listening skills, learn about common conversational topics and peoplesresponses to them. Do some research or read articles on commonly discussed topics, and check thevocabulary. This will help you catch words and follow peoples conversations better.

Think about the best speaker you know. Now compare

that person to the weakest speaker you know. Want to

know what makes them different? The best speaker

has POWER!

Whether you are a student giving a class presenta-

tion, or a CEO speaking to an audience of thousands,

here are a few tips from our PMM: Powerspeaking &

Modern Media Program, to give your next presentation

more POWER!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECTPractice your speech as much as possible, but dont leave it to the

last minute! Practice several times a day, every day. Then, practice

a few times the night before, but dont stay up late rehearsing; youneed a good nights sleep to be relaxed and present with power!

OUTWARD APPEARANCE & HOW TO VIEW IT

Want to know if you look professional? Videotaping is the best wayto watch yourself speak, but if a camera is not available, speakingto a full-length mirror or audio-recording your speech can be useful.

Dont just focus on your weaknesses, also notice your strengths, itwill help build your confidence!

WHERE CAN I PRACTICE?If you can, try to rehearse in the actual room you will be presentingin, or imitate the environment as much as possible. Doing this willmake you comfortable and relaxed in the place you will be speaking.

EXPRESSIONWhat should your body do while youre speaking? Be aware ofyour posture. Make sure you are standing up straight. Using handgestures can help to emphasize a point. Just make sure that youare not fidgeting or slouching.Where should you look? Engage your audience through eye contact.

Often when a speaker is nervous, they look at the floor or the ceilingor even straight at the back of the room. A few moments of eyecontact with your audience will have them paying more attention.

RATE YOURSELF TIMING IS KEY!How do I know if my speech is long enough? Time yourself on aclock or stop watch, and practice often to make sure you don'tspeak for too long or too short a time. Remember to pace yourself

by taking regular deep breaths when you pause. This will also help

you stay cool and calm!

Even teachers have learning moments. In fact, it is my firm

belief that real teachers have learning moments all thetime. A key learning moment for me came in late 2010,

when I had given my class an assignment to reflect on theirlearning experience as children of the digital generation. One

of the smartest students in the class, a young woman fromMexico, put it most succinctly and bluntly: my generationsway of learning, based on reading and memorization, wasnow definitively a thing of the past.

Anything of interest can, and will, be Googled. The infor-

mation available online will vastly outstrip what can befound even in the best of textbooks. Contrary to what many

hard-copy textbook advocates will claim, thanks to somecareful analysis, even the accuracy of that information canbe instantly verified.

The most casual visitor of many business managementclassrooms will notice the presence of orphaned textbooks:too bulky, ill-adapted to a specific program or curriculum,

out-dated as of the day of release. Students come in, opentheir laptops, or unlock their iPads. Whether we think of thisas a nuisance or a miracle is irrelevant. We live in augmented

reality: the classroom has been invaded by outside reality,mediated by the Internet.

To gradually move away from textbooks and into e-booksand electronic devices is simply to recognize what is goingon, and to use that new context to maximize what studentslearn and optimize how they learn. No business session iscomplete without reflection on what is happening in theeconomy. No textbook statement or theory is alive withoutreference to outside authorities and actual examples. Nobusiness management classroom can claim to preparestudents for management without incorporating technology.

Moreover, the time is now to reflect, students and teachers, on

how the technology can be employed for better end results.

No business management classroom can claim

to prepare students for management withoutincorporating technology.

Technological Advancement and Business

Management in the Future

The digital generation has taken over the business man-agement classrooms. There is no point in denying orslowing down this evolution. With a new generation of

millennial students, the future may point toward a newdelivery mode in the form of tablets.

As for the question Why? the simple answer is Why not?Business instructors, more than anyone else, must facethe reality of constant change. Classroom reality has been

invaded by cyber reality, to make way for augmented reality.

Introducing e-books into the classroom in the future hasthe potential to give us a unique opportunity to maximizelearning opportunities and optimize the learning experience.

Business English Program (BE)Sandman Hotels, Inns and Suites (Victoria)2852 Douglas Street, Victoria, BC V8T 4M5

sandmanhotels.ca

With over 40 Hotels, Resorts, Inns and Suites from British

Columbia to Quebec, and several more propertiesunder development, Sandman is Canadas fastest-

growing, privately-owned hospitality company. In addition to

great accommodation, people can enjoy a variety of diningoptions during their stay with Sandman. Sandman HotelGroup is committed to positively impacting the community by

building relationships, inspiring philanthropy and promoting

goodwill both inside and outside the company.

Sandman Hotel Victoria has been taking our students forpracticums for the past 6 years. During their practicum,with the help of the Business Development Manager, Ms.Elfriede Schmoll, our students are given the chance to ex-perience every aspect of the hotel business, including frontdesk duties, housekeeping, research, and maintenance.Students have the chance to communicate in English withinternational tourists, as well as with coworkers from different

ethnic backgrounds.

Some students might feel overwhelmed at the beginningof their practicum with the new tasks they have to learnor simply with the English communication skills involved.

However, by the end of their work term, most students findthe experience very precious and practical. They are ableto understand the Canadian work culture with hands-onexperience, use the business knowledge they learned inclass, and feel more confident when dealing with Englishspeakers, especially in listening and speaking!

Co-Op Coordinator Intro-Cathy:Why she loves helping students!

Shhh let me tell you a secretstudents LOVE working.

Of course, students also like their teachers and classmates,and tell us that they learn a lot at school, but work is reallyspecial for them. Why? Work is where they have a chance to

practice all the things they have learned in school and havea chance to meet a lot of other Canadians. Work makes them

feel like an important and useful part of Canadian societywhile they are here. And, most importantly, work providesthe experience that helps prepare them for going back home

and getting started in their careers.

Of course, not everything about the work experience is

stress-free. Students are expected to dress professionallyand do job interviews in English, many times in competition

with other candidates. Finding transit routes to a new jobcan be a challenge. And, it can be stressful to discover thatsometimes the jobs are unpaid or the pay is lower than theywould hope to receive.

However, ultimately, when students are packing and getting

ready for their flights to return home, they often tell me thattheir work experience here was one of their favourite parts

about being in Canada. Thats why helping students findjobs can be such a rewarding experience for me.

WOW 3-month intensive experience!

TESOL-C was much more intensive andhectic than I had expected. There was agreat fellowship with my classmates because

of numerous passionate discussions andpresentations.

Presentations x 3!

I didnt only study teaching theories, but gave

many valuable presentations in front of class-

mates! This led me to become a confidentpublic speaker. Listening to my classmatespresentations helped to build new ideas formy future lesson plans!

Great 4 week practicum in Canadian institutions!

Being able to go to an elementary school or

also kindergarten is an unforgettable experi-

ence. Ive gotten to see childrens reactionsto my lessons and to me over the course ofthe 4 weeks.

I totally
