About
I've been working in university education in one form or another for around 20 years. I presently work in the Division of Environmental Resources in the General Education Center at my university where I research English for Specific Purposes including English for Tourism and English for Environmental Science. I teach a class called Science English for which I wrote the textbook, The Environment Project.Sessions
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
