ELT Footprint is a blog is for people from all walks of the ELT world. We'll be posting about initiatives, projects, campaigns, victories and ideas about how to reduce our climate/carbon/plastic footprints across the ELT profession. We'll also be sharing links to teaching resources and materials designed to raise awareness and, more importantly, to prompt action. There are some excellent resources out there so we need to make sure they get as wide a reach as possible. Get in touch if you'd like to write a guest blog post or you have some resources you'd like us to share and please spread the word among teachers, trainers, writers, publishers, language school owners and anyone else who will listen. We're all in this together!
Phil Hazell shares a powerful and personal post about what galvanised her into taking action on climate change and how she and her colleagues are advocating for, and bringing about change in their workplace.
A huge thank you to Emily Bryson for sharing her post (and her lesson plans) here on our blog. And for taking up the gauntlet of the #ELTCanDoEco challenge!
Katherine Bilsborough and Ceri Jones extend an invitation to join in a new ELT Footprint campaign collecting examples of Can-do statements that straddle environmental competencies and linguistic learning outcomes.
