022: ESL Students as Changemakers with Lucie Dumont

As teachers, we know learning is most meaningful when relevant, if it resonates emotionally with students, and if it is anchored in a real-life context. Education should connect students to the world around them. We find pedagogical support for engaging students as world change-makers as far back as the early 19th century. Dewy called on educational institutes to not only prepare students to be participatory members of society post school, but to have students learn more and better by being participatory members of society while they are learning. In today's podcast we will hear how one expert in the field of ESL is doing just that.
