Resources for ESL Summer Lessons

Maybe your online ESL program will continue throughout the summer. Although it is harder this year to go on outings with our students, or to talk about travel-related themes, it may still be good to talk with your students about summer in Canada, Canada Day, cultural activities like camping or going to cottages. Here are some resources related to those themes.
