Matthew's research examine the integration of GCE into English Language Teaching (ELT) textbooks used in UAE secondary schools. This includes the adaptation of GCE to autocratic contexts and the design of a framework to develop and assess GCE.
He will then demonstrate how he embedded that framework into a portfolio platform for youth citizenship, Citizens, which has received Innovate UK funding to codesign with teenagers and prototype.
This online event will be particularly useful for global citizenship researchers, especially those looking into K12 or ELT contexts, PhD students interested in translating their research into a social enterprise, and secondary school teachers.
