Discover Society โ the third S of the 3S Framework and checklist designed by Bhavna Gupta. Okay, confession time... the Society circle is my fave! ๐
Not just because I added it to the language learning mix (humble brag ๐), but because this is where the magic happens. This is the moment a regular Language lesson transforms into a Life Lesson โ something way bigger than verbs and vocab.
Society โ Your Language Superpower for the Real World! ๐๐
Welcome to the most exciting part of language โ using it to change the world! ๐ก๐
Society is all about how we use language in real life โ to understand big issues, share ideas, and even make a difference. Itโs where English stops being just grammar and vocabulary and starts being a superpower! ๐ฆธโโ๏ธโจ
Letโs zoom out from textbooks and zoom in on real life โ this is where English gets real and really powerful. ๐
Letโs See How Language Makes Your Voice Count! ๐ค๐ฌ
Whether youโre speaking up in class, writing a blog, or starting a mini-movement โ language is your megaphone! ๐ฃ
It helps you share your story, stand up for what matters, and connect with others who care too.
Big change starts with small words... and yours totally count!
- Talking About REAL Stuff! ๐ฃ๏ธ๐
Sure, learning how to ask for pizza in English is useful ("Can I get a large pepperoni, please?" ๐), but what about the big conversations?
๐น How do we talk about climate change? ๐ฑ๐ฅ
๐น How do we discuss kindness and empathy? โค๏ธ
๐น How do we express opinions on social issues? ๐ค
Using English isnโt just about knowing words โ itโs about using them for something meaningful!
For example:
โ "Plastic bad. Trees good." (Wellโฆ okay, but can you explain why? ๐
)
โ
"Plastic pollution harms the ocean. We should use less plastic to protect marine life!" ๐๐ข
See the difference? The second one actually explains the issue and suggests a solution!
- Using Language to Inspire Change! ๐ฌโจ
Words have power. Think about famous speeches, inspiring TED Talks, or even just a kind message from a friend. They all use language to:
โ
Spread awareness (like why we should save the environment ๐ฟ)
โ
Encourage kindness (because the world needs more of it! โค๏ธ)
โ
Make people think (so we can challenge unfairness and do better! ๐ช)
For example, instead of just saying:
๐น "Bullying is bad."
You could say:
๐น "Everyone deserves respect. Letโs make schools a safe and kind place for all!"
One sounds like a fact, the other inspires action. Thatโs the magic of language! ๐คโจ
- Connecting with Different People ๐
Language helps us understand different cultures, ideas, and perspectives. Imagine you meet someone from another country โ how do you talk to them?
๐ Maybe you learn about their traditions and share yours!
๐งโ๐คโ๐ง Maybe you listen to their experiences and see the world in a new way!
๐ก Maybe you work together on a project to help others!
Without language, weโd all be stuck in our own little bubbles! ๐ซง But with it, we can connect, understand, and grow.
- Making English More Than Just a Subject ๐โก๏ธ๐ก
Instead of just memorizing grammar rules (boooring! ๐ด), what if we used stories, debates, and discussions to explore real-world issues?
For example:
๐น Storytelling โ "Letโs write a short story about a world without trees. How would people survive?" ๐ณ
๐น Debates โ "Should schools have a 'no phone' rule? Letโs discuss!" ๐ฑโ
๐น Role-play โ "Pretend youโre in a meeting about saving the oceans. What will you say?" ๐ ๐ This makes learning fun, interactive, and meaningful!
So, whatโs Your Mission? ๐
Language isnโt just for passing exams โ itโs for understanding the world, sharing your voice, and making a difference.
Itโs not just about teaching/learning English.
Itโs about sparking purpose, passion, and a little bit of โLetโs change the world while weโre at it.โ ๐โจ
Thatโs the power of Society โ the third and most important S of language! ๐ฌโจ
Your challenge โ
Next time you use English, ask yourself โ "How can I use my words to make the world a little better?" ๐๐
"Hmmโฆ what exactly is this 3 S framework all about?"
