     More details

    The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) have become ubiquitous throughout many sections of our society, industries, and fields of study. As language educators, we are on the front lines of building a world that understands and communicates using this language of sustainability. Japan’s business community is seeking a labor force that can understand global issues and interact in such a way that allows Japan to grow, innovate, and be sustainable. All levels of education, in particular tertiary, are being asked to develop and train global human resources (global jinzai) because the language of the global marketplace will be the UNSDGs. In this session, we will bring participants into our classrooms to show how we teach English using the UNSDGs. Participants will see how we used task-based and project-based learning techniques to get the students to understand and present complex ideas using simple English. Students participated in debates, made short documentary videos of local businesses, and led interactive discussions to try and achieve the objective. Initiatives like the UNSDGs can seem daunting to implement, but if you want to see, share, and create methods to incorporate these goals into your context, this session will be for you.
