We’re excited to introduce our ‘Climate Action in Language Education’ course series designed to train English teachers how to integrate environmental issues into English language teaching, equip learners with the language skills to understand, discuss and engage critically with climate change issues, and make a meaningful difference. 

There are three modules, with a total of nine hours of learning. 

This free and flexible course allows you to choose the modules that are most relevant to you. All three modules include comprehensive resources, videos, Q&A sessions, practical examples and a certificate.

For participants who successfully complete all tasks and achieve a score of 70% or above in the online exercises, there will be a downloadable certificate of completion at the end of each module.
