This document outlines Dr. Doris Molero's presentation on integrating peace education into English language teaching. It discusses how language classrooms can promote collaboration over competition. Effective communication skills and defining educational objectives around peace can help teachers rise to the challenge of promoting peace. Some strategies mentioned include having students become good communicators, develop empathy, and connect with others through projects like creating avatars and posters for peace. The presentation provides examples of Dr. Molero's peace-focused classroom activities and resources for teaching peace.

2. Let’s talk peace …
 Please, share in the chat area ..your take on the
following questions…
 What’s peace?
 Is language teaching and learning a way to
promote peace?
 Why should educators promote a culture of
peace?
Would language become real if we integrated a
culture of peace in our classrooms?

3.  Language classrooms are known for promoting
anxiety, stress and competition, rather than the
collaboration and sensitive awareness.

4. Teaching and Practicing Peace in the EFL class
“Peace does not simply involve the absence of war
but includes the concept of peaceful collaboration
amongst individuals and groups of different ethnic
backgrounds as well as from the same ethnic
background.
…….. Students benefit by learning to collaborate
more effectively and by avoiding conflict and
violence.
Can English Language Teachers rise to these
challenges? I believe they can, …….Our job, after all,
is to teach effective communication skills, and
defining our educational objectives in conjunction
with peace education objectives is not as difficult
as for teachers of other disciplines."

5. Peace Oriented Education
According to UNESCO, a peace oriented education…
“…..should attempt to reduce the willingness to use violence in
individuals and to reveal and remove the infrastructures which cause
violence in human relations at all levels of society and amongst nations.”
“ Human rights and an education which has peace as its goal are not a
luxury but are at the roots of the mission of an educational
institution..”
‘Peace Linguistics’ is a term which appeared in the 90’s for the promotion of
peace and human rights at international level and stressed the value of
linguistic multilingualism at national and international level.
Within this framework, there is a need to create language
attitudes which respect the dignity of individual speakers and speech
communities (D.Crystal, 1999).
