ESL students in Abbotsford recently got to practice their English with Sharon
Wagner of CNIB, who is featured in one of their texts. Wagner brought her guide
dog Ned, her Braille typewriter, and her talking camera, and taught the students
about the Braille alphabet.

FVC going British again

English instructor Art Ross and Theatre department head Ian Fenwick are teaming up

once again on a study tour to England, Scotland, and Wales next spring.

The trip will be a multi-faceted cultural experience, with daytime tours of places such

as Hadrian’s Wall, the Shakespeare properties, the National Gallery in Edinburgh, the
British Museum in London, and various castles and cathedrals.

Students can earn up to nine credits by taking Theatre 102, Theatre 397, and/or
English 220 as part of the tour, but studying formally is optional. Faculty and staff are
encouraged to join the tour. |

The month-long tour will depart on April 29 and return May 28. Cost of the tour,
including airfare, hotel, transportation, and theatre tickets, is $3,500. Other costs,
including food, will be the responsibility of participants.

Ross and Fenwick are holding an information meeting at the Studio Theatre on the
Chilliwack campus on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at noon. Registration begins Oct. 9, and a
$300 non-refundable deposit is due upon registration. The tour is limited to 24
participants. Early interest is “very positive” according to Ross.
