Language Teaching for the Planet
Inspire your students to positively engage with environmental issues and sustainability on their language learning journey
It is two weeks long and it has 3 modules. It requires approximately 4 hours a week.
Many of the participants on the course are working throughout the day on varying schedules. The good news is that you can log on at any time you like to access the lessons or post and respond to comments in the discussion. What’s more, the discussion takes place on a platform called Slack, and the great advantage of this is that there is an app so you can engage in the discussion from your phone while on the go without logging in our out, and you receive notification updates of the conversation. I encourage people to log on every day when possible, little and often, however it's natural that some people log on every couple of days when they're busy. If I haven't seen someone for three days, I check in with them and usually they are having a busy period and let me know they can log back in. There is one optional Zoom session which is a nice chance to meet the other participants. It is at a set time at the weekend so more people can attend, and is recorded for those who can't come.
