Addressing Eco-issues in the ELT classroom as an example of dealing with sustainable development goals and global issues.
Hanna Kryszewska
Summary
The ELT curriculum is increasingly broader now including among others CLIL, learner autonomy and self-directed learning, wellbeing, the 4Cs, ICT or mediation. Add global issues, sustainability issues and Agenda 2030, and it may seem too much. In this plenary we will look at ways to seamlessly introduce Eco-issues (in various age groups), what actions to take through projects, how to engage as teachers, and what we can learn from NGO’s. Dealing with Eco-issues serves in this plenary as an example of how we may deal with the various seventeen sustainable development goals.
