for ESL

The Vancouver Talks ESL Version is for intermediate to advanced English learners.

The ESL Version is narrated more slowly and uses easier words.

City Talks offers the following package for ESL instruction:

  • Vancouver Talks ESL Version CD
  • Vancouver Talks Handbook for Teachers, Tutors and Students


Here's what an ESL Instructor had to say about our ESL package:

"I was delighted to learn that a classroom package is also available. The combination of audio and ... read-along handouts allowed my class of second language learners to follow and understand the text more easily. This was no small challenge in a group that included a wide range of language levels and abilities. The students enthusiastically scored it as "interesting" and "useful".

The histories and stories which are well-researched, clearly presented and enriched with area appropriate interviews give the listener a wonderful sense of place. I think every new and even not so new arrival to Vancouver, visitor, immigrant, international student or resident should take advantage of these self-directed tours."
