This text is aimed at English composition courses at university and community college.

This Canadian theme-based reader for introductory composition is structured around two very current topics: language and culture. The text features topics all students have experience with and are aimed at generating debate and discussion. Issues range from questions of personal freedom to the pace of technological change, from self-expression to the social construction of institutions, to name a few. With its combination of Canadian content and focus on language and culture, Words in Common offers a unique approach to developing critical thinking, reading, and writing skills for introductory composition.
