The Environment and Ecology do often go hand in hand. Oxford dictionary has named “climate emergency” as its 2019 Word of the Year, choosing it from the all-environmental shortlist. This phase is defined as a situation in which urgent, action is required to reduce or halt climate change and avoid potentially irreversible environmental damage.

By conducting our classes and discussing the key issues we contribute to preventing the global warming and saving our planet for the next generation.

Yesterday, Liudmyla O. Saienko, Assistant Professor of the Department of Foreign Languages, presented a fragment of the lesson, which highlights the “Climate Emergency” subject. The case touched the topic of climate change, air pollution, animal habitats, deforestation and the participants discussed the major human activity effects on the natural surroundings. The learners were introduced to some of the main issues related to climate emergency and were engaged in the education process. They worked individually and in pairs or small groups. A range of discussion-based lesson activities, such as special ESL/IELS (British Council) exercises and even songs, were presented.

By the end of the lesson the members of the audience were able to master grammar and vocabulary skills, and everyone was involved in discussion about the most important environmental problems and the solutions, sent the messages to others.

Finally, we hope it will help them use the terms and vocabulary out of lesson.
