The third pilot cohort uses graphic-novel storytelling to teach both content knowledge and English linguistic skills, guided by the Global Competence Matrix and Project Based Learning. Participants collaboratively identify community challenges, then create superhero comic stories using tools such as Pixton EDU or hand-illustration, emphasizing critical thinking, problem solving, and cross-cultural communication while remaining open to diverse perspectives.","THE WORLD ON PAPER  \nANTHOLOGY 3  \nAMERICAN ENGLISH GLOBAL COMICS VIRTUAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM  \n3RD COHORT  \nAE COMICS VIRTUAL EXCHANGE  \nINTRODUCTION  \nJACQUELINE GARDY, EDITOR  \nAmid the coronavirus pandemic, more education and exchange leaders are seeking ways to use technology to reach international teachers whose lives have been disrupted by closed schools, cancelled trips, and prolonged isolation. The Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), saw the need to pivot face-to-face exchanges, run through the English Access Microscholarship Program, to a virtual exchange learning experience connecting English as a Foreign Language (EFL) professionals to a new pedagogy that could be applied to future classroom teaching.  \nThe 2021 Winter American English Global Comics Virtual Exchange was the third of three pilots for a 10-week virtual exchange between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers nominated by Regional Language Officers (RELOs) at various US embassies and consulates across the globe. The objective of this exchange was to use storytelling through comics to highlight a community challenge within participants’ social and cultural context while offering new pedagogy for language learning.  \nThe purpose of the exchange involved teaching content knowledge of graphic novels and the linguistic skills of storytelling in English. The program used the Global Competence Matrix framework which involves four categories of global education which include: 1-Investigating the World, 2-Recognizing Perspectives, 3-Communicating Ideas, and 4-Taking Action. This framework provides participants with the tools to examine their colleagues’ and their own perspectives on issues of relevance to their own communities. The use of Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology guided participants through collaborative teamwork with a final project involving critical thinking, problem solving, cross cultural communication, collaboration, and innovation of this anthology of comic stories that represent the global community of the participants of this virtual exchange.  \nThis collective project was a work of love. We hope you enjoy reading their stories and getting to know these superhero teachers. The final project required participants to work together in their teams to identify a challenge, then to create a comic story where a superhero they created can solve it. The participants created comics in a variety of ways, by using Pixton, an online comic-creator, hand-illustrating, and/or combining techniques.  \nIt has been my sincere pleasure to work with these courageous, talented, and enthusiastic teachers over the past 10 weeks. Please enjoy this anthology of their work.  \nJacqueline Gardy  \nCC-BY-NC-ND  \n© 2021 by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Office of English Language Programs .  \nThis work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International Public License.  \nTo view a copy of this license, visit [https://](https://)[ ](https://)[creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/](creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)  \nYou must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
