Embedding LGBT into the Curriculum: What we learnt


Embedding LGBT into the Curriculum - What We Learnt

 
  • LGBT can be embedded at any level, using current and topical resources
  • Language is not a barrier to embedding the theme resources range from E1 to L3
  • Additional training and support was needed for some tutors
  • Material produced had a greater focus on LG rather than BT
  • Extracurricular events supported the production of teaching resources for the curriculum pilot
  • Responses from staff and students were positive:

     

    “Students saw the topic as just another part of their English Course”

    “It enabled bonding in the group even though people had different opinions”

    Some students feel uncomfortable about homosexuality...but they would not want to be discriminated against in the same way...

    “Had done E&D but not LGBT before”

    “Students were interested in the anti-discrimination law...it was very valuable to them in terms of understanding their rights”
