 The Climate Connection, episode 10: Future perfect Our final episode in this successful series draws together some of the main themes and explores how language learning and the climate crisis should not be looked at in isolation, but rather how they are related to wider social justice issues. Listen to interviews with Suzanne Romaine, Mike Solly and Mariana Roccia, and a 'vox pop special', where we find out more from our listeners all around the world about language teacher initiatives to fight the climate crisis. |

|  Looking back to look ahead: Language teaching experiences during COVID-19 Our World Teachers' Day celebration kicks off with a talk by Sophia Mavridi on 5 October at 12 p.m. Sophia will provide in-depth insights into language professionals' perceptions, experiences, challenges and opportunities as instruction shifted from face-to-face delivery to online, and discuss how these positive and negative experiences can inform future decision making, planning and strategy. |

 Teenagers: Flow and the random factor Join Joanna Gore on 7 October at 12 p.m. UK for the fifth talk in our World Teachers' Day 2021 celebrations. Joanna will demonstrate two approaches that stimulate teenagers' motivation to learn: Flow theory, which helps us create the classroom conditions for intrinsic motivation to flourish, and the random factor, which takes away students' fear of the wrong answer and encourages critical and creative thinking. |

|  Using WhatsApp for interactive tasks This interactive workshop with Jessica Mackay on 7 October at 5 p.m. UK reports on a project designed to increase EFL learners' exposure to English outside class through a programme of tasks on the social media platform 'WhatsApp'.

 Peacemakers and peace-breakers Use this lesson for primary learners to celebrate International Peace Day, and promote peace, respect and tolerance in the classroom. The lesson can be used face-to-face or online, and learners focus on peacemakers and peace-breakers in a classroom context in a fun way, and collaborate to make a classroom poster. |

It seeks to achieve the inclusion of all students by flexibility and personalisation.
