The course will consist of five, live, one-hour webinars and aims to show teachers how activities that examine media and democracy can be used as reading tasks (written texts), listening (podcasts, video, social media memes, etc) and can be used to enrich English language learning in their own classrooms. More importantly, they will see how discussions and writing about media are key to civic involvement in democracies.
Dates: October 5, 19, 26, November 2, 9, 2020.
