The Maple Leaf
The Maple Leaf is the monthly
newsletter of the Canadian English
Centre. Since its first issue in
June 1995, it has been an instrument of information,
promoting education and Canadian culture as part
of the service of our school.
Besides the last six issues,
you'll find here the first edition of The Maple
Leaf. It has evolved through the years, now offering
information about our method, new programs offered
by our school, and always highlighting a Student
of the Month. Also found in each newsletter
are Tips on English Idioms, to
help our students build up their vocabulary, as
well as superb philosophy in the It's
True section.
Since our school is a centre
for Canadian culture, our newsletter always offers
information on Canada. By the way, the maple leaf
is one of Canada's national symbols, and is displayed
on its flag.
There are also assorted
short news stories taken from North American and
Canadian publications. These stories are meant
to give the student some extra reading practice
on interesting subjects. You'll also have some
fun in our Pause for a Joke section,
and get to know the schedule for our Friday Practice
Classes.
The Maple Leaf has a lot to offer! We hope you
enjoy it!

New Exams
It is true that the Canadian English Centre does
not believe that one huge, hard final test can
thoroughly evaluate a student’s knowledge
of the English language. There was even a time
when the CEC experimented with a version of its
method that had no tests at all.
