Description

This edited collection takes a forward-thinking approach to some of the most pressing global issues, positioning ecolinguistic pedagogy as a transformative tool for environmental education and sustainability.

By tackling climate change education, linguistic diversity, and ecological awareness, it bridges theoretical discourse with practical applications in classrooms and policy frameworks. The inclusion of AI-powered ecolinguistic education tools highlights an innovative direction in ecolinguistics, making it relevant for scholars, educators, and policymakers looking to integrate technology into sustainability-driven language learning. Furthermore, the focus on multilingual perspectives and Indigenous ecological knowledge preservation sets it apart by advocating for culturally responsive and inclusive approaches to environmental literacy.

With global case studies spanning Iran, Morocco, Argentina, Bali, Nigeria, and beyond, this collection offers diverse cultural perspectives on ecolinguistic education rarely found in a single volume. The book's interdisciplinary nature, spanning applied linguistics, discourse studies, TESOL, and education policy, ensures broad appeal across multiple fields. With its strong emphasis on developing environmental stewardship and critical thinking, it has the potential to shape sustainable education practices globally.
