Samford broadcasting instructor John Marc Green is co-author (with Josephine Prado, Gönül Uguralp-Cannon, Melinda Harrison and Laurie Franz Smith) of a chapter in the new book Peacebuilding in Language Education: Innovations in Theory and Practice, edited by Rebecca Oxford.

The chapter, "Seeking Connection through Difference: Finding the Nexus of Transformative Learning, Peacebuilding and Language Teaching," was a collaborative effort of Green and University of Alabama at Birmingham faculty and graduate students who shared stories of transformative learning that impacted their practice of teaching English as a second language.

Green, who has a master's degree in instructional design and development, has also received a Samford Faculty Development Grant to support his creation of a course tentatively titled “Building Online Branching Case Study Scenarios.” The project will help faculty combine case studies with their subject matter expertise to create engaging, interactive online modules for courses in Samford’s Canvas learning management system.
