How Can I Integrate Global Issues Into My Teaching?

In our first From the Field Report we hear about climate change in another podcast recently made by the British Council. Later on we will be talking to this episode's guest about another serious global issue, drug addiction. The United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26 took place in November 2021. As one as their initiatives for this conference the British Council created a podcast called The Climate Connection which examined the relationship between the climate crisis and language education. To date the podcast has been downloaded thousands of times by people in more than 100 countries. Many of the listeners to the climate connection have been classroom teachers eager to understand more about these issues.
