Where civil unrest and challenges to self-determination exist, Content-Based Language Instruction can provide opportunities to empower teachers to become peace and conflict-resolution advocates. Providing professional development to teachers who work in remote areas sheds light on how using content to teach language can be utilized as a tool to create learning experiences that contribute to students’ worldviews and prepare leaders of the future. This method allows for the exploration of content areas that can create parallels to more challenging or dangerous topics, empowering teachers and students through “subversive” teaching.
