The Law-Related ESL Lessons were developed on Clicklaw Wikibooks by People's Law School as a resource for instructors of ELSA Net’s English language classes. The lessons feature legal topics that affect newcomers to Canada and British Columbia. The modules include reading material for learners, downloadable instructional packages at varying Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels, and assessment tools.

ELSA, which stands for English Language Services for Adults, provides basic and intermediate level English training for adult newcomers to Canada. ELSA is government-funded and is free to students.

These lessons feature student-centered, interactive activities on such legal topics as:

  • driving,
  • family law,
  • employment law
  • paying taxes,
  • consumer law,
  • criminal law, and
  • landlord and tenant law.
