Jens Folkerts studied English and German at the University of Duisburg-Essen. After graduating in 2014 obtaining the degrees of Magister Artium and Erstes Staatsexamen, he began his practical teacher training at the Landfermann Gymnasium in Duisburg. After obtaining the second state exam in 2015, he has been working as a full-time teacher for English and German at Heinrich Böll Gesamtschule, Oberhausen, where he was involved in several projects (e.g. Jugend debattiert, Vielfalt fördern, etc.) and was responsible for the practical teacher training (Ausbildungsbeauftrager). He joined the WWU ELE team in February 2021 and is currently working on his PhD thesis which focuses on listening comprehension, especially with regards to developing new test designs for high stakes exams. His research is also interested in competence-oriented learning and testing, mediation, and the integration of democratic education in the EFL classroom.

Climate change, to state the obvious, is a huge and complicated problem. Unlike the threats posed by artificial intelligence, biotechnology or nuclear weapons, you don’t need to have an advanced science degree or be a high-ranking government official to start having a meaningful impact on your own carbon footprint. Each of us can begin making lifestyle changes today that will help. We started this podcast because the news about climate change seems to get worse with each new article and report, but the solutions, at least as reported, remain vague and elusive. We wanted to hear from the scientists and experts themselves to learn what’s really going on and how we can all come together to solve this crisis.

Each of us can begin making lifestyle changes today that will help. We started this podcast because the news about climate change seems to get worse with each new article and report, but the solutions, at least as reported, remain vague and elusive. We wanted to hear from the scientists and experts themselves to learn what's really going on and how we can all come together to solve this crisis.

Every Tuesday and Thursday we'll be posting a new interview to the list below.

Most Americans believe in climate change - yet far too few are taking part in climate action. Many aren't even sure what effective climate action should look like. On Not Cool episode 25, Ariel is joined by Mario Molina, Executive Director of Protect our Winters, a non-profit aimed at increasing climate advocacy within the outdoor sports community. In this interview, Mario looks at climate activism more broadly: he explains where advocacy has fallen short, why it's important to hold corporations responsible before individuals, and what it would look like for the US to be a global leader on climate change. He also discusses the reforms we should be implementing, the hypocrisy allegations sometimes leveled at the climate advocacy community, and the misinformation campaign undertaken by the fossil fuel industry in the '90s. Read the full transcript here.

Right before civil war broke out in 2011, Syria experienced a historic five-year drought. This particular drought, which exacerbated economic and political insecurity within the country, may or may not have been caused by climate change. But as climate change increases the frequency of such extreme events, it's almost certain to inflame pre-existing tensions in other countries - and in some cases, to trigger armed conflict. On Not Cool episode 22, Ariel is joined by Cullen Hendrix, co-author of " Climate as a risk factor for armed conflict." Cullen, who serves as Director of the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy and Senior Research Advisor at the Center for Climate & Security, explains the main drivers of conflict and the impact that climate change may have on them. He also discusses the role of climate change in current conflicts like those in Syria, Yemen, and northern Nigeria; the political implications of such conflicts for Europe and other developed regions; and the chance that climate change might ultimately foster cooperation. Read the full transcript here.

How can artificial intelligence, and specifically machine learning, be used to combat climate change? In an ambitious recent report, machine learning researchers provided a detailed overview of the ways that their work can be applied to both climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. The massive collaboration, titled " Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning," involved 22 authors from 16 of the world's top AI institutions. On Not Cool episodes 16 and 17, Ariel speaks directly to some of these researchers about their specific contributions, as well as the paper's significance more widely. Today, she's joined by lead author David Rolnick; Priya Donti, author of the electricity systems chapter; Lynn Kaack, author of the transportation chapter and co-author of the buildings and cities chapter; and Kelly Kochanski, author of the climate prediction chapter. David, Priya, Lynn, and Kelly discuss the origins of the paper, the solutions it proposes, the importance of this kind of interdisciplinary work, and more. Read the full transcript here.

In her speech at Monday's UN Climate Action Summit, Greta Thunberg told a roomful of global leaders, "The world is waking up." Yet the science, as she noted, has been clear for decades. Why has this awakening taken so long, and what can we do now to help it along? On Episode 9 of Not Cool, Ariel is joined by Andy Revkin, acclaimed environmental journalist and founding director of the new Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at Columbia University's Earth Institute. Andy discusses the information gaps that have left us vulnerable, the difficult conversations we need to be having, and the strategies we should be using to effectively communicate climate science. He also talks about inertia, resilience, and creating a culture that cares about the future. Read the full transcript here.

On the premier of Not Cool, Ariel is joined by John Cook: psychologist, climate change communication researcher, and founder of SkepticalScience.com. Much of John's work focuses on misinformation related to climate change: how it's propagated and how to counter it. He offers a historical analysis of climate denial and the motivations behind it, and he debunks some of its most persistent myths. John also discusses his own research on perceived social consensus, the phenomenon he's termed "climate silence," and more. Read the full transcript here.

FLI is excited to announce the latest in our podcast line-up: Not Cool: A Climate Conversation. In this new series, hosted by Ariel Conn, we'll hear directly from climate experts from around the world, as they answer every question we can think of about the climate crisis. On this page, you can listen to a short trailer that highlights what we'll be covering in the coming months, or read the transcript below. And of course you can jump right in to the first episode! We'll be releasing new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday for at least the next couple of months. Read the full transcript here.

Ariel specializes in science communication, but she's also become increasingly involved in policy outreach regarding artificial intelligence and lethal autonomous weapons. She oversees media, communication, and outreach for FLI, and she founded Mag10 Media, an organization dedicated to improving science communication. She's studied English, physics, and geophysics, and her background is a mix of advertising, marketing, and scientific research. She's worked with NASA, the National Labs, and multiple universities, including MIT and Virginia Tech. She's an outdoor enthusiast, and she's become deeply concerned about the future of the planet and the future of life for all species if we don't address climate change soon.

Kirsten is a writer, editor, and researcher who oversees FLI's web content. She graduated from Cornell University, where she majored in English with a concentration in critical theory. She also has a double minor in biology and philosophy, and she's fascinated by the intersection of these disciplines. Her frustration with the current lack of climate action drove her to get involved, and she's inspired every day by all the young people who have taken on this fight.

Ian is a studio and live sound engineer with a keen interest in carbon footprint reduction and effecting evidence-based public policy through grassroots political involvement. An alumnus of Northeastern University's Music Technology program and the University of British Columbia's School of Music, he has worked with multiple nonprofit organizations, private businesses, educational institutions, and political entities. A firm believer in walking the talk, he lives and works off-grid in a fully solar and microhydro-powered home and studio, grows more of his own food each year, and commutes by bike whenever possible.

Season 7: The ABCs of Big Oil, a collaboration with Earther

Big Oil infiltrated schools across the country. Earther and Drilled take you inside the campaign to miseducate American students. Season 7 episodes and transcripts

Drilled S6: The Bridge to Nowhere

A season in three parts about the past, present, and future of the natural gas industry. For decades the fossil fuel industry has been positioning fossil gas (aka "natural gas") as an alternative fuel, a part of the energy transition, a bridge to less emissions-intensive energy sources. In this three-part season we break down exactly how false that idea is, and the lengths the industry has gone to to perpetuate this myth.

Part 1: Plastic Pipelines

In Par1, we dug into how the fracking boom led to a plastics boom, through the story of Formosa Plastics on the Gulf Coast. Part 1 episodes and transcripts

Part 2: The New Climate Villains (coming soon!)

In part 2 of our Bridge to Nowhere season, we're digging into how the gas industry--from oil and gas companies to pipeline companies to utilities--is grappling with its new role in the climate conversation, from successfully marketing itself as part of the solution to being cast as part of the problem. Coming March 2022

Part 3: You Can't Ban Fracking in Pennsylvania (coming soon!)

In part 3, the final segment of our Bridge to Nowhere season, we head to a rural Pennsylvania town that's been plagued by extractive industries throughout its history, from lumber to coal, and now fracking to plastic, and hang with a group of accidental activists who have decided enough is enough. Coming May 2022

Season 5: La Lucha En La Jungla

For more than 30 years, Chevron has been battling a group of Ecuadorian plaintiffs over oil pollution in the Amazon. Chevron inherited the case from Texaco when it acquired the company. It was ordered to pay millions of dollars to the plaintiffs by multiple Ecuadorian judges, but instead sued the plaintiffs and their lawyers in the U.S. under racketeering laws. And the story just continues to get more wild from there. This story has it all: bags of cash, secret cameras, bribed judges, First Amendment violations, a lawyer on house arrest, secret tribunals, and at the end of it all thousands of indigenous people with a simple request "Let us live." Season 5 episodes and transcripts

S4: There Will Be Fraud

In this season we follow the fossil fuel industry's efforts to use the COVID-19 pandemic to push through its wishlist of deregulation and subsidies. We didn't plan this season, but once we saw how quickly and forcefully the American Petroleum Institute and various other industry trade groups and companies began lobbying for Covid-related regulatory changes, we had to do it. We also launched a Covid-Climate tracker to keep tabs on the myriad federal, state, and local rollbacks and subsidies the industry was pushing. Season 4 episodes and transcripts

S3: The Mad Men of Big Oil

Inaction on climate doesn't start or end with climate denial. In fact, the only reason science denial worked is because it came on the heels of a 100-year propaganda campaign. The fossil fuel industry helped to create the PR industry, and publicists came up with disinformation and manipulation tactics that they deployed for oil, tobacco, and chemical companies for decades. In this season we trace the creation of disinformation from its origins in the American oil industry to the well-oiled machine it is today. Season 3 episodes and transcripts

Season 2: Hot Water

For decades, oil companies took steps to prepare themselves for a warming world-designing tankers for a melting arctic and re-engineering offshore platforms to deal with a rising sea-all while telling everyone else not to worry about it. Now other industries are suffering the impacts of unchecked climate change, robbed of decades worth of preparation. It's that unfairness that spurred a group of crab fishermen on the West Coast to become the first industry to sue Big Oil, alleging that their actions to shift the story on climate set crabbers up to fail spectacularly. Season 2 episodes and transcripts

Season 1: The Origins of Climate Denial

In the 1970s and 1980s, oil companies were conducting much of the cutting-edge research on climate change. But in the 1990s their approach, both in research and messaging, changed. This is the story of that shift, and what came next. Season 1 episodes and transcripts.

Two books reflect on the highs and lows of adolescence

Today's episode focuses on very different experiences of the teenage years. First, NPR's Scott Simon speaks with Christine Suggs about their new graphic novel, ¡Ay, Mija!, inspired by Suggs' formative trip to Mexico to understand their parents' upbringing and reconnect with their family and culture. Then, NPR's Rachel Martin sits down with psychologist Lisa Damour to discuss her new book, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers. They discuss the stresses and anxieties young people deal with - especially as a result of the pandemic - and how parents can help manage these intense feelings.

We know that the world is going through so much with the COVID-19 pandemic, and we hope you're staying safe and our prayers are with you. In the midst of it all, we wanted to drop some tales by Moonlight from Nemeze. If Wizkid listened to this episode he would agree the BAD ENERGY wasn't staying far away from Nemeze in last year, he shares everything from his dealings with the law, failed relationship and most importantly his encounter with Jesus. Grab a bottle of wine, sit back, relax and enjoy this crazy ride!

Women Really Do It Better

Africalypso brings a similar fun and energy of a podcast that used to be around and also hosted by 3 Nigerian born women that I have been missing since 2018. I am so happy to hear and learn from the fabulous hosts along with their guests. No episode is a dud, if I had the ability to award this podcast I surely would. Keep up the great work!

A Brilliant Nigerian View of the World!

One of the great benefits of podcasts is that there's a podcast for everything. And that holds true here: Africalypso is a fantastic talkshow-style podcast on the issues of our day from a Nigerian perspective, a POV many of us in the U.S. don't often hear or consider. So it was a pleasure to discover this show and to hear its hosts banter their way through issues of matriarchal culture, African cinema, mental health, Nigerian culture, social issues of the day, and so much more!

If you're Nigerian, this show will obviously appeal to you. If you're not, it should appeal to you anyway because it gives you a glimpse into another point of view. And that's worth its weight in gold pressed latinum.

I love the topics that you guys talk about, trendy, interesting, and controversial! There's room for improvement with the audio, I can hardly hear what the person in the background is saying. Aside from that, you guys are doing great!

Lots of Potential Here

It's still in its developing stages but I like the fact that the topics are so diverse. From the culture, to music, and dating and relationships, everything is covered. Most podcasts these days stick to one theme. It has a lot of potential and I hope it fulfills it.

I learn so much from this podcast and am so grateful for the in depth research and fact checking you do. This is a great listen for anyone interested in politics and current affairs in African countries.

Educative and Accurate

I really like the fact that you guys perform deep research before each podcast. You don't sell false narratives to your listeners and I really appreciate that. I've really enjoyed listening too your podcasts and getting informed especially during this pandemic period. Keep up the good work. Will recommend!

Very informative

Good mix of news and interviews with people doing interesting things. It's a great way to learn more about Africa since the American press does not provide much information and when it does, it's not often from the perspective of people who are very knowledgeable about it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dictogloss is a classroom dictation activity where learners are required to reconstruct a short text by listening and noting down key words, which are then used as a base for reconstruction.

Example
Learners discuss the sea. The teacher then explains the task, and reads a short text on the sea to the class, who just listen. The teacher reads the text again, and the learners take notes. In groups, the learners then reconstruct the text.

In the classroom
Dictogloss is often regarded as a multiple skills and systems activity. Learners practise listening, writing and speaking (by working in groups) and use vocabulary, grammar and discourse systems in order to complete the task.

Podcasts For Activists & Allies

The Black Lives Matter movement and its refrain-turned-hashtag are often embraced and empowered in times of tragedy. In these not-so-instant instances when yet another Black human is unjustly killed, harmed, or discriminated against, the experience resonates in both solidarity and sound. It reverberates from the streets to social media, to-hopefully-the Supreme Court.

But these aren't the only moments that we should explore and seek understanding about the persisting victimhood of people of color-though "moments" implies they are far more fleeting than actuality. If the experiences are daily, so too can be the education. If systemic racism has a long history, you can expect its unlearning will also take a while.

If you're looking to expand your education and/or improve your allyship, we've rounded up a few podcasts that offer explanations and observations from every angle. Find what works best for you-first-person narratives? Expert insights?-then tune in and take notes.

If you're looking to take action to support this movement, head here for how you can support the Black Lives Matter movement right now.

Recommended Episode | "Can We Finally Build A Multiracial Democracy in 2020?"

Produced by public media podcast studio WNYC, "The United States of Anxiety" explicitly intends to connect the present with the past. Journalist and host Kai Wright is joined by guests who together examine the tangled yet connected web between America's current events and its history, and the stronghold the latter still has on our future. Using historical context, the show probes matters like what women in power should "sound" like and how the confederate flag unites disaffected white Americans.

Bonus: For even more history, The New York Times' "1619" is a smaller, six-part series on how slavery has transformed America, complete with suggested readings per episode.

Recommended Episode | "The Unexpected Family"

The stoop is where you hear stories, of course. On their show of the same name, journalists Leila Day and Hana Baba are unafraid to question cultural commonalities; instead, they discuss with guests the pressure that's felt to buy all things Black or the resistance to always giving "The Nod." But it also celebrates and protects Black joy; in a conversation about if being vegan makes you bougie, they debate who makes the best jollof rice (Is it Ghana? Nigeria?) and in an ode to Black introverts, they reveal how to correct the ways such personalities are treated.

DeRay Mckesson has been a community organizer since he was a teenager, but he (with his signature blue vest) became a frontline figure back in 2014 after police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. On the weekly "Pod Save the People," Mckesson teams up with fellow activists Brittany Packnett Cunningham, Sam Sinyangwe and writer Dr. Clint Smith to tackle overlooked issues that impact people of color. Sitting down with additional guests, they unpack ideas like the need for mail-in ballots for upcoming elections or coronavirus-related injustices like discriminatory rationing.

Myisha T is a mental health activist and author. On her "Co-Conspired Conversations" show, she sits down with white mothers, mentors, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and more to have candid and revealing discussions about the guest's own relationship with power, privilege, and racism. They dive into the erasure of Black, brown, and indigenous women of color throughout history, as well as their silencing now, and how well-intentioned associates still often suffer from blind spots.

Recommended Episode | "Made in America"

"Seeing White" is, in fact, the Peabody Award-winning second season of the "Scene on Radio" podcast. Released in 2017, it is a 14-episode series led by producer John Biewen and regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika. The hosts dive into the construction and meaning of whiteness, and subject matters include the structural innovations upon which American slavery was built, as well as the scientists who sought (and claimed to have) proof of racist hierarchies. An invitation for conversation, the show comes equipped with a downloadable study guide full of questions for comprehension and discussion.

Recommended Episode | "A Decade of Watching Black People Die"

Hosted by journalists of color Gene Demby and Shereen Marisol Meraji, NPR's weekly "Code Switch" show explores how race plays a role in everything from beauty ideals to networking.

Recommended Episode | "Mobilizing Whiteness to 'Re-Open America'"

Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term "intersectionality" in 1989. The Professor of Law, at both UCLA and Columbia Law School, used it to describe how race, class, gender, and other identifiers "intersect" with one another. Now the term is often used to explain how persons with multiple signifiers can experience double (or triple) the discrimination, and how persons who advocate for one indicator should not ignore its overlapping others. On Crenshaw's show, presented by the African American Policy Forum, she explores topics through intersectional lenses, including how white supremacy unveils itself in times of crisis.

Recommended Episode | "Toni Morrison"

Tressie McMillan Cottom, Ph.D., describes "Hear to Slay" as a group chat. And with fellow writer Roxane Gay as co-host, you can expect this text thread to be full of Black feminist perspectives on everything from pop culture to politics. Both critical and comical, conversations have covered what livability looks like for Black women across America and how to leverage astrology in pursuit of social justice.

Danielle Cheesman was born and raised in New Jersey, where she lived until moving to Philadelphia to study journalism at Temple University. She has spent her years writing and developing editorial visions for music, art, and lifestyle brands. Now residing in Los Angeles, you can usually find her taking pictures, making playlists, or cuddling her pup. Say hi on !
