OVERVIEW
One of our missions as English teachers is not only to help our students learn English, but also to develop as good local and global 21st century citizens. We can help them to better understand the world in which they live and make the world they will inherit a better place. Integrating values instruction into our language lessons is one way we can accomplish this.  Often, when learners are very young, we remind them to ‘respect their elders’ or ‘share their toys,’ but for our learners to truly develop the values of respect, friendship, or caring, they need opportunities to think critically about those values, to communicate their thoughts to their classmates, and to express themselves creatively through meaningful, values-focused activities. In this webinar, we’ll explore how values can be integrated into English language learning lessons and activities (including some that can be done in online teaching) and tips for making them meaningful to young learners.
