The chapter explores the integration of local history with English Language Teaching (ELT) to foster global citizenship. It highlights the importance of incorporating regional narratives in language lessons, enhancing lexical, grammatical, and pragmatic skills while fostering cultural insight, ethical curiosity, and analytical aptitude. The chapter presents models like place- based learning, collaborative inquiry projects, and digital heritage storytelling, which map local memory onto global concerns like migration, ecological change, and social equity. This approach not only enhances English proficiency but also fosters reflective and deliberative skills for thoughtful citizens. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
