Climate change can be discussed in EAL classes at local, regional, and international levels which makes it an ideal topic for learning and education. Further, environmental migrants or climate refugees will increasingly be seeking a safe haven from the effects of climate change so this topic has a very real connection to our sector.
If you are preparing a needs assessment for your students, why not include climate change and the environment as an option?
This document contains several links to climate change articles, lesson plans, and resources. Note that some websites like ESL Library may require a subscription, and that Tutela requires you to log in to access the resources (creating a login is quick and free)
