Synchronous (Session) Peace Linguistics and Peace (Language) Education in Korea more

Sun, Nov 7, 17:00-17:45 Asia/Seoul

A fundamental goal of education for a sustainable future should be peacebuilding. This involves creating peaceful and just societies, at the heart of which are relationships shaped through our communication. Because English language teaching and research is about learning to communicate in a new language, there are endless ways to embed peace as process, outcome and experience for learners and teachers. In this 45-minute panel, three long-time and active KOTESOL members working in different contexts in South Korea will define key concepts then share observations from their research and practice in the areas of peace linguistics, peace education, nonviolent communication, and peace language education as a springboard for further discussion. It is hoped that participants will leave this dialogic session more aware and excited about fostering peace in their own environments. EASTER EGG 6
