Below are a few of the papers I wrote as part of my MA degree. None are particularly spectacular, but the references could be useful.

Global Issues, Everyday Actions (references / appendix) – I wrote this as the scholarly paper for my MA degree. It talks about the individual action project. This version focuses more on language learning than the next version. The materials for the activity are available here and I talked about it on Podcast #9.

Global Issues, Everyday Actions ver. 2 (references included) – This paper discusses the second incarnation of the individual action project. It is more focused on behavioral change than language acquisition.

Environmental Literature Activities (references) – A write-up of a pair of environmentally-themed literature activities. The materials are available here and I discussed it on Podcast #6.

An Environmental Administrator (references) – Some ideas on how a program administrator could make an English program more environmentally responsible. This paper lead to the Greening HELP Project, wherein Kira and I attempted to green a language school.
