Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / July 2006Globalization
Do you teach the topic "globalization" in your A-level courses? Which books/schoolbooks are available? What would you recommend? Do you know short stories or novels or a play dealing (critically) with the effects of globalization? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Juergen Globalization affects nearly academic dicipline. Everything from economics and politics to literature, language and culture are impacted. You will have to be more specific. > Do you teach the topic "globalization" in your A-level courses? > Which books/schoolbooks are available? What would you recommend?

The Berlin school administration decided, that next year in all A-level English courses the topic has to be "globalization". Yes, globalization is a term of wide comprehension -- I think this is part of the problem when you have to teach it. As far as I understannd, my friend wants to focus on economical and political problems. Best regards, Juergen Two suggestions are: The Lexus and The Olive Tree : Understanding Globalization by Thomas L. Friedman The Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington in Foreign Affairs 1993 (an American periodical). He can also do a search on EBSCOhost or a similar database for articles. Good luck, Dan > Hello Dan, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Best regards, Juergen > Two suggestions are: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Dan Thank you!
