Tóm tắt
This chapter describes one teacher’s adoption of an intentional peace philosophy, approach, methodology, and curriculum in a required freshman composition class for English learners at a small liberal arts college. Teaching anti-racism and intercultural understanding while promoting nonviolent solutions to conflict are the first steps to stop the progression of self-interest and othering which have led to policies that marginalize and oppress. Nevertheless, mixed feelings about peace, safety concerns, and teacher biases can be obstacles to teaching peace in the English classroom. Thus, when broaching the subject of peace with students it is wise to present it in non-politicized ways. Focusing on the possibility for more peace is often a good tactic because students may acknowledge that while ultimate peace may never be achieved, it is possible to improve on current trends. If teachers pretend to be apolitical or unbiased when working with college students, they will not be trusted, so it is best to be upfront. Grading methods that are in alignment with intentional peace education can help foster trust in this area. The English classroom is an ideal setting in which to focus on prosocial communication skills like active listening, self-expression, paraphrasing, reframing, and critical thinking, while emphasizing the importance of cooperation and self-awareness. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Barbara M.
