In the burgeoning field of ecolinguistics, little attention has been
given to the ways in which English language teaching is and has become
implicated in global ecological crises. This book begins a dialogue
about the opportunities and responsibilities presented to the TESOL
field to re-orient professional practice in ways that drive cultural
change and engender alternate language practices and metaphors.
Covering a diverse range of topics, including anthropogenic climate
change, habitat loss, food insecurity and mass migration, chapters
argue that such crises require not only technological innovation, but
also cultural changes in how human beings relate to each other and
their environment. Arguing that it is incumbent upon the field of
English language teaching to reckon with such cultural changes in how
and what we teach, TESOL and Sustainability addresses the ways in
which discourses such as eco-pedagogy, the critique of neo-liberalism,
non-Western philosophy and post-humanist thought can and must inform
how and what is taught in ESL and EFL classrooms.
