Synopsis

"The Multicultural Workshop: Book 3" is a reading and writing program for ESL students at a high-intermediate/low-advanced level of proficiency. Like the 2 other books in the series, Book 3 is based on an interactive pedagogy that values collaboration and meaningful communication as powerful tools for learning. In practice, the pedagogy takes the form of classroom activities in which students discuss, read and write together - always within a thematic context.
