Teaching Against Prejudice: Human Rights and EFL
Foreign language teachers have a unique role to play in reducing hate, bias, and stereotypes. Ideas from the field of human rights education can help us to achieve this important goal. Join this hands-on workshop to learn creative ways to include human rights in content-based language lessons and to experience classroom activities that raise awareness of prejudice, empower students to stand up against discrimination, and promote the tolerance so badly needed in our multicultural world.
