Okayama JALT:

Social Justice and Critical Consciousness in the University EFL classroom

Date: Sunday, May 15th, 2011 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Alexis Pusina

Description:
What place, if any, does social justice and critical consciousness have in EFL learning? How can EFL teachers instill a sense of critical social consciousness into university EFL students? This interactive workshop will explore the idea of moving beyond language learning to developing students' critical thinking skills; analyzing and developing ideas for problems/issues in regards to inequity and injustice both inside and outside Japan. Useful ideas and activities will be offered; for example, getting students to write and talk about their own valuable life experiences in order to build a foundation for developing their critical thinking skills.
