Language Acquisition, Social Justice, and International Volunteer Service - Workshop!

COFLT - Spring Conference 2106

March 12, 2106 


Workshop 3:
Social Justice in the Languages

Language Acquisition, Social Justice, and International Volunteer Service

How can educators intentionally use language acquisition as a tool for developing critical thinking, emotional resilience, and cultural humility?  Can curricular integration promote a platform that advances social justice, inclusion, human rights, and peace?  We will explore these questions and generate ways to use international volunteer service to add value to the classroom experience.
