Omschrijving
The climate crisis is far too important to be ignored by any profession or occupation. This book challenges TESOLers to understand our profession’s role in the climate crisis and to act forcefully and effectively to make that role a positive one.
The climate crisis is far too important to be ignored by any profession or occupation. This book challenges TESOLers to understand our profession’s role in the climate crisis and to act forcefully and effectively to make that role a positive one.
TESOL and Sustainability is poetically articulated, politically conceived, and darefully envisioned. For those who are interested in how Mother Earth is ‘talking’ to us, this is a must read. The urgency of the moment, made extremely clearly in this book, makes an earth-centred pedagogical approach to English language teaching and learning more pressing than ever. If we cannot imagine what we do not know, this is a compass pointing to a new and hopeful direction.
The question of sustainability is much more than a conversation topic for ESL classes. Rather it is an issue for discussion among all of us involved in English language education. Is English language teaching itself a sustainable enterprise within the Anthropocene? How do we understand our complicity as English language educators with the human and non-human changes now convulsing the planet? This book urges us to consider the interconnectedness of language, commons, place and eco-ethical consciousness.
