• This study assesses the use of the Discover Canada: Rights and responsibilities of citizenship study guide for Canadian citizenship (CIC, 2011). The research reported here explored whether, to what extent, and for what purposes English as a second language (ESL) instructors in Alberta use the Discover Canada Study Guide as a resource for teaching citizenship concepts (history, rights, responsibilities, law, etc.) in federally-funded Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) classrooms. The results of an online survey, as well as an assessment of the readability of the guide itself, are discussed. Recommendations are made for future use of the Guide in ESL instruction, and modifications are recommended to make the Study Guide a more effective resource for ESL learners.
