Representation Matters: A Crossword on Race and Identity in ELT

This crossword puzzle invites learners to critically explore how skin color representation in English Language Teaching (ELT) materials can reflect a “White-centric” bias and influence the construction of learners’ racial identity. Through key concepts such as bias, representation, identity, and diversity, students will reflect on how educational content shapes perceptions of race and inclusion. This activity promotes awareness of multicultural perspectives and encourages more equitable and inclusive approaches in language education.
