In English language teaching, the term “authenticity” can refer to unsimplified texts and to situations or contexts in which students can use English in their life outside of school. For a learning context to be authentic, it should be both personally and socially relevant. One such authentic focus for learners today is environmental preservation due to the changing state of the environment and the impact of this change on our shared future.
This webinar will offer teaching techniques—including grammar and vocabulary chants, replacement performance role plays, and activities that involve discussing possible solutions to local issues—to contextualize language learning within local, environmental settings and demonstrate how to use authentic materials to connect local to global ecological concerns for learners of all ages and proficiency levels.
