Bringing Global Issues into Language Learning

Connecting with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
About this Event

In this session, we’ll explore how to connect language lessons with real-world issues by using the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework. From climate change to reducing inequality, these global challenges can provide engaging, relevant content for students as they learn a new language. We’ll dive into practical ways to incorporate the SDGs into your lessons, making learning more meaningful and purposeful. By using resources like the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other UN publications, you’ll see how to inspire students to not only improve their language skills but also think critically about their role in the world.
