Writing about a Peacemaker
Sowell, Jimalee; Gautam, Bishwa Raj
English Teaching Forum, v59 n2 p24-29 2021
Second-language learners increasingly need effective writing skills in English for academic and professional purposes, as well as for personal and social purposes. To date, peace education (PE) activities in the English language classroom have mostly focused on speaking. This article presents an activity that can help fill the gap in the lack of resources on writing activities for PE in the English language classroom. Using PE as a framework, students read and write about a peacemaker to reflect on the meaning of peace and how it can be achieved.
