Global Issues and Poetry

Event Speaker(s): 
Hugh Nicholl
Saturday, October 24, 2009 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Global issues headlines confront us every day. Our students, however, need a way to approach such themes that can honor their creativity and empathy, while raising their awareness of the contexts of global issues. The presenter will
introduce activities using short poems as source texts for language learning. Participants will be invited to consider ways in which poems can be approached. The presenter will also share online sources for activities adaptable for EFL classrooms. (PLEASE NOTE: The information in October's Language Teacher Chapter Events column is incorrect. The date and venue have been changed to sponsor a joint event with the Gifu Chapter.)
