Austin shares original strategies to facilitate productive language learning and demonstrates how to foster a rigorous, inclusive, and enriching environment. Designed to improve student motivation and engagement, the book is a shift from teaching about the world to teaching with the world. You’ll come away with plenty of inspiring and effective ways to not only invite the world into the classroom but also bring the classroom to the world and, in so doing, support an inviting classroom environment.

The book abounds with low-cost, ready-to-implement tools, activities, and lesson ideas.

With this book, your students will become culturally literate, motivated language learners who will be ready to enter the global community and continue to learn from and with the world.
