My husband is looking for a teaching position in Vancouver, Canada. He has a BA, majoring in Contemporary English Lit., but he’s not sure what else he needs to be able to teach ESL? I should also mention that he can speak English and Korean fluently… Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

The results of a recent survey carried out in the U.S. revealed the fact that 20% of Americans believe that Sudan is in Asia, when it actually is the largest country in Africa. One third of young adults think that if it is noon in New York then it must be noon in Los Angeles too. Half of young Americans, I kid you not, can’t find New York on a map. Moreover, only 37% of them can’t find Iraq, although U.S. troops have been there since 2003. Many more can’t locate Afghanistan. These issues have raised concern both in mass-media…

This was a pilot project for government to work with literacy. I saw a CEO from Yahoo interviewed on TV about a month ago. The premise of his conversation was that the whole community would be given one so that all members could communicate with each. It would be extremely essential for Aboriginal people in Canada to take advantage of this experiment. I sit on a National Board of Governors for literacy dealing with immigrants, people with disabilities and literacy issues. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada could be approached for First Nations and a community such as Gull Bay, Ontario.…
