Language classrooms are known for promoting anxiety, stress and competition, rather than the collaboration and sensitive awarenessFinch (2004)Peace does not simply involve the absence of war but includes the concept of peaceful collaboration amongst individuals and groups of different ethnic backgrounds as well asfrom the same ethnic background... Students benefit by learning to collaborate more effectively and by avoiding conflict and violence.
Can English Language Teachers rise to these challenges?

Teaching and Practicing Peace in the EFL classI believe they can!
http://marisaconstantinides.edublogs.org/2010/09/21/peace-education-and-elt/ Our job, after all, is to teach effective communication skills, and defining our educational objectives in conjunction with peace education objectives is not as difficult as for teachers of other disciplines."Peace Oriented EducationAccording toUNESCO, a peace oriented education
..should attempt to reduce the willingness to use violence in individuals and to reveal and remove the infrastructures which cause violence in human relations at all levels of society and amongst nations.
Human rights and an education which has peace as its goal are not a luxury but are at the roots of the mission of an educational institution..

Peace LinguisticsInterdisciplinary approach aimed at helping educational systems create conditions for the preparation of human beings as peaceful language users.(D. Crystal, 1999).We need to create language attitudeswhich respect the dignity of individual speakers and speech communities #ELTforpeace#worldpeacePeace linguistics is a term that was born in the 90s to promote peace and human rights at international level and stresses the value of linguistic multilingualism at national and international level. It is characterized as interdisciplinary approach aimed at helping educational systems create conditions for the preparation of human beings as peaceful language users.this framework, there is a need to create language attitudeswhich respect the dignity of individual speakers and speech communities9
Gomes de Matos (2012) Humanizing nature of language use
Identify states of agreement: harmony, communicative dignity, communicative peace
Dehumanizing uses of languages identifies states of disagreement and disharmony: communicative conflict, discord, contention, and Dissension.
Linguists are expected to prioritize the humanizing nature of language use and also to be aware of the other side of communicative reality: dehumanizing uses of languages (Gomes de Matos, 2012).
There is a dual challenge involved: on the one hand, appliers are challenged to identify states of agreement, harmony, communicative dignity, communicative peace
identify states of disagreement and disharmony such as communicative conflict, discord, contention, and dissension.
