"You can be included and still not feel that you belong" - Ben Goldstein. 

We sit down with Ben to talk inclusion in ELT - and what that actually means (and what it doesn't). 

Ben is a writer, teacher trainer and conference speaker. He taught materials writing for many years on the online MATESOL program of the New School in New York.  He has published two methodology handbooks for teachers: Working with Images and Language Learning with Digital Video. 30 Ideas on Inclusion in ELT, a pocket handbook for teachers has also just been published by Cambridge.

 

In this episode, Ben discusses: 

  • defining inclusion in education
  • challenges and misconceptions of inclusive teaching
  • belonging vs inclusion
  • why "inclusion" isn't the best word to use
  • how being critical of inclusivity is alright
  • holistic strategies for teachers to use
  • engagement, representation, and action in UDL
  •
