Abstract:

For most teachers of English, syllabus changing is like undergoing some renovation in their own house or even moving to another house. It means opening windows, clearing shelves and drawers, recycling a lot of things. It means breaking with a string of good old routines until recently very helpful to their survival. It means unleashing their creative potential to tackle the new challenges. The following is meant to give them a little help in coping with these changes and in filling a few gaps. Consumerism overlaps other topics, as everybody knows consumerism affects society, the economy and the environment. A few classroom activities are suggested. They should be seen as making part of a kit, providing ideas to be used, improved or recycled according to the class they are aimed at.
