Abstract:

In the age of ecological crisis, language and discourse are emerging
as a new battleground in the environmental debate. With the rise of
new environmentalist movements and their subsequent backlash, we are
now exposed to a plethora of different and often opposing discourses
on the environmental crisis and our relationship with nature. This
book argues for the need to develop classroom practices which aid
students in critically reviewing and evaluating different perspectives
on discourses of environmentalism and sustainability.
Remarking that language and humanities teachers are perfectly
positioned to play a key role in the development of eco-critical
language awareness at this crucial juncture, this book explores how
they can help students utilise a critical perspective to navigate the
multitude of cultural messages regarding our relationship with nature.
Employing ecolinguistics as a form of eco-critical pedagogy, Emile
Bellewes presents key concepts underpinning ecolinguistics, before
guiding readers through their application in the classroom. Serving as
a bridge between critical perspectives on environmental education and
forms of discourse analysis, Ecolinguistics and Environment in
Education explains how ecolinguistics can be used to carry out
detailed linguistic analyses of environmentally significant messages
in the classroom.
