Healing the World Through Grammar, Vocabulary, Conversation Practice, and Homework

Healing the World Through Grammar, Vocabulary, Conversation Practice, and Homework

Have you ever been in an English class with instructors or students from countries that you feared or even hated? What was your experience? Did the fear or hatred remain throughout the course or did it change? 

In a powerful TED Talk, Palestinian peace activist Aziz Abu Sarah explained how the seeds of his transformation from hate to peace began in a language class. 


Based on your experience in English classes, how do you think this transformation occurred? How could studying a foreign language with “the enemy” transform that relationship? 


And what could this teach us about dispute resolution?
