About
Julian has been teaching at the university level in South Korea for nearly two decades. In 2014 he was living and teaching in Busan when the road to his new campus was washed away in the same flood that saw a bus carried away down a nearby road. That was when he started to think harder about how and what to teach about the climate crisis and all related environmental issues. He sees his being someone who has benefited the most from the legacy of industrialization as meaning that he is most obligated to be doing as much as possible to minimize, halt, and reverse its impacts, including bringing an awareness of the dangers and potential for change to students and colleagues, alike.Sessions
Synchronous (Session) Including Environmentalism in EFL more
Sun, Nov 7, 14:00-14:45 Asia/Seoul
This workshop starts with a brief discussion on the definition of, and need for incorporating environmental themes and content within our EFL lessons, and then continues by offering practical ideas for creative content for classes and curricula via a focus on the experiences of nine EFL teachers teaching about environmental issues within South Korea over the last decade, and two more based in Japan. Participants will have the opportunity to share their own experiences of teaching material with an environmental theme, and ask questions at the end. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
Synchronous (Session) Panel Discussion: Environmentalism in EFL more
Sat, Nov 6, 19:00-20:15 Asia/Seoul
The industrialization of South Korea and other developed economies has enabled a higher standard of living for most citizens, but not everyone benefits equally, and, some pay more by having to live or work nearer sources of industrial pollution, or areas of higher climate incident risk. This is the challenge of environmental justice. How can we best prepare our students to tackle these enormous interrelated issues? Questions will be focused on motivation and practical outcomes in terms of language acquisition, awareness raising and behavioural change, and will include wider environmental themes. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute information, ideas, experiences, and questions. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
