| Abstract: | Over the past few years, migration has become one of the most pressing global issues. For example, in 2015 more than 65 million people were forcibly displaced by war and related factors (UNHCR, 2016b). Given our responsibility to engage students with global issues as a means of battling inequity (Xerri, 2017a), addressing migration in the course of teaching English seems incumbent on us as educators. In this article I describe how I used some of my English lessons as a means of discussing migration with teenage students. |
