Proposal Abstract
Research has shown that EAP students need example essays to deconstruct and analyze in order to improve their academic English writing skills. This session will introduce a newly developed online textbook (OER) whose essays relate to Canadian content and whose activities and questions range significantly. The online textbook is ideal for academic English classes with high level ESL students.
