Think Green, Teach Smart

Join us on 6 June for Teaching For A Better Future – a day of inspiration, innovation and action for educators who believe language teaching can drive meaningful change.

Our fifth session with Marcella Villan is Think Green, Teach Smart: Systems Thinking in English Language Teaching.

Our world faces complex environmental challenges and English Language Teaching (ELT) must evolve to foster sustainability and make an impact on this. “Think Green, Teach Smart: Systems Thinking in ELT” explores how educators can integrate systems thinking into their teaching to make students understand the bigger picture, promoting ecological awareness and global responsibility. Participants will gain practical strategies for embedding sustainability into language learning to make students see connections between language, society, and the environment, making ELT more holistic, impactful, and future-focused this way. Let’s remember that small shifts in teaching can lead to meaningful global change!

Marcela Villan is an experienced teacher of English from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She specialises in Environmental Education and Education for Sustainable Development. She has presented widely on these issues at international conferences and events. With over 30 years experience, she has also served as coordinator, head of studies, examiner and teacher trainer.
