Abstract:

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.
