Abstract

This article paints an optimistic picture of the role we second language teachers can play not only in improving our students’ language proficiency but also in infusing global education into our classes as we join with our students to address global concerns, such as peace, prosperity, environmental protection, and human rights.
In this article, we two authors propose an optimistic view of the future of this planet. We propose that as our tiny globe spins round the sun. The means by which we have been attempting this lies in the infusion of global education into the second language curriculum. First, we describe what global education entails and provide a list of some organizations of second language teachers who include global education in their teaching. Second, we go into depth on two major areas of global education: peace education and environmental education. Third, we discuss four questions that second language teachers frequently ask about the inclusion of global education in their teaching.
