Global Nomads Group’s Overcoming Bias Through Language Learning program is a virtual exchange between Mexican and US students aged 15-18. In this program, students will engage in activities to identify personal, societal, and linguistic biases and strengthen skills in their target language.
Students have multiple opportunities to engage in social-cultural language learning through story exchanges with their peers and live facilitated virtual conversations where they practice speaking in and listening to their target language with peers who are native speakers.
Register now to participate in our program from September to December 2024 or January to April 2025, dedicating 3-4 hours for the online course and 35-50 minutes for one live event. All on-line course materials are available in English and Spanish and you can customize implementation based on your students’ language levels. Global Nomads staff can help you determine how best to customize for your classes.
“Gracias Global Nomads Group por esta oportunidad para mis estudiantes de interactuar con sus iguales en un tema tan necesario de análisis y al mismo tiempo poder practicar su inglés. En el transcurso del programa descubrí como los chicos adquirían más confianza en el uso de la lengua inglesa, y desenvolvimiento para dar su punto de vista. El cierre del programa fue a su vez muy dinámico y orgánico que les quitó todos los nervios que tenían al iniciar. Esperamos seguir participando y colaborando con futuras generaciones.”
