“Teaching Global Unity through Proverbs, Metaphors, and Storytelling” is a 130-page teachers’ resource book with reproducible interactive language materials, cooperative tasks, and thought provoking discussions on global issues such as peace, war, freedom, justice, social responsibility, poverty, and racism. Also included are universal themes such as love, wisdom, truth, good & evil, time, power, death, heaven, and angels. These language activities draw on active and critical use of international proverbs, collective metaphors, and storytelling – with a focus on illuminating and increasing consciousness of the sacred unity in humanity.

The vision that inspired this book is the awareness that there are tremendous opportunities for ESL teachers to foster intercultural communication and global understanding while in the process of facilitating language acquisition, and that what is initiated in a class of students from diverse cultures will ultimately have rippling effects in the world at large.
