Our world faces a number of challenges. For many, the most serious global issue is climate change, driven by the unsustainable use of the planet’s resources. Read the TIRF Insights: Climate Change Education (CCE) paper to see how ELT is confronting CCE: tirfonline.org/resource/tirf-…

Our session at the TESOL Convention in Tampa is TOMORROW! Join TIRF and its partners at 10am in Room 301 for our panel presentation on genAI! tirfonline.org/tirfs-activiti…

ELT instructors can play a key role in helping students develop language skills to participate in the climate change debate. Bring climate change discussions into your classrooms with TIRF and NGL: Read TIRF Insights: Climate Change Education tirfonline.org/resource/tirf-…
