Global Issues IATEFL   http://gisig.iatefl.org/ is an association
parented by the organisation IATEFL. http://www.iatefl.org/  We assist
in the exchange of information and ideas surrounding issues within ELT

We aim:
- To facilitate the convergence of two roles a language teacher has in
globalised society; the conveyer of linguistic knowledge and the
educator.
- To help teachers equip learners with the knowledge, skills and
values which can help them confront both local and global problems and
to empower learners to become more critical citizens.
- To seek a more global and socially inclusive perspective within ELT,
sensitive to local diversity.
- To explore ways to improve EFL teaching and learning among the
world's social majorities, where often only minimal resources are
available, and to integrate inventive high-tech approaches wherever
possible.
