OVERVIEW
What makes a city liveable? Can we trust the media? When are risks worth taking? In this webinar, we’ll examine how ‘Essential Questions’ like these can spark lively and effective communication in the English language classroom. Drawing on examples from the second edition of 21st Century Communication, we’ll also explore how big ideas from TED and National Geographic can be a fantastic tool for developing important academic and life skills, including note-taking, critical thinking, and presentation skills.

OVERVIEW
Today’s students live in a world that is more interconnected than ever before: a world in which they will encounter perspectives and contexts that may differ from their own. As students learn to navigate and better understand their place in the world, the importance of developing an open mind as well as strong communication skills has never been greater. In this presentation, an Executive Editor for National Geographic Learning will explore new perspectives on global competencies, with examples from TED talks and National Geographic.
