Abstract

This paper discusses implementing Sustainability Development Goals into English for Specific purpose course based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) learning outcomes and the European Clothing Action Plan. ESD develops competencies that empower people to be responsible for their own actions, considering current and future social, cultural, economic, and environmental consequences on a local and global scale. This study includes textile engineering students English language curriculum and course content that is constructed in such a way that it becomes an ideal platform for growing green movement awareness. The key outcomes are connected to the learning objectives of the study in three domains: cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioral. Cognitive learning objectives are achieved when students learn the concept of sustainable production in the textile industry and understand how their individual lifestyle in design and clothing influences the environment. Socio-emotional objectives in learning assume that students learn various ways of encouraging local industrial companies to shift toward more sustainable forms and communicate in English the need for sustainable practices in textile production. Behavioral learning objectives can be achieved when students identify opportunities in their local communities for greener approaches to production.
