Natural Harmony: Teaching Language, Teaching Peace #309


Sat, Nov 21, 09:30-10:30 JST | Plenary #1

Peace is harmony attained by working productively with conflicting perspectives. In this lively plenary, Rebecca Oxford focuses on the natural harmony between teaching language and teaching peace. Both focus on helping people develop necessary communicative competence, and both promote cooperation and understanding across cultures and groups. Using her Language of Peace Approach and describing peace activities for the classroom (onsite or online), Rebecca takes us to the heart of peacebuilding in language education.
