Global Justice in Easier English
Created by
This is a series of three booklets which use 'easier English' versions of New Internationalist (NI) articles to explore a wide range of global justice issues. They can be used by teachers of any subject but are targeted at ESOL and English/Literacy. They have been compiled by, and support NI's Easier English wiki, and they each cover six topics, as follows:
Pre Intermediate booklet (A2)
- News Stories
- Sharing
- The Veil
- Refugees
- Other countries
- Languages
Intermediate booklet (B1)

- Slavery
- Food
- Women
- Our Earth
- Money
Upper Intermediate booklet (B2)
- Deforestation
- Ability and Disability
- Transgender
- The Organ Trade
- Development
- Charities and NGOs
Each topic covers at least 2 hours’ work, so 12 hours per booklet. They can be used in one-to-one classes, self-study, or in small groups with or without a teacher, enabling students to practise reading, speaking and writing, and to develop vocabulary and grammar. Each booklet costs £3.99 or just £3 if you buy five or more.
