The Civic Education volume
is designed specifically for language teachers who are turning toward
content-based instruction to promote content learning and language learning
in their classes. Through the exploration of topics related to civic
education, language teachers can help their students master English
and simultaneously become more knowledgeable citizens of the world.
The combination of improved language skills and increased knowledge
can enhance students' studies, work, and ability to become more active
and conscientious participants in their communities.
The
