INTEGRATING GLOBAL ISSUES INTO LANGUAGE CURRICULUM

Abstract

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the relevance of global issues within the educational framework has grown significantly. Language education, often focused solely on linguistic competence, now holds the potential for raising awareness about pressing global concerns. This paper discusses the integration of global issues into language curricula, exploring how it enhances not only linguistic skills but also critical thinking, empathy, and global citizenship. The article will analyze current practices, potential challenges, and strategies for teachers to implement this approach effectively.
