International Conference on Green Language Education: Advancing Environmental Literacy Through Sustainable Language Teaching and Learning

This International Conference on Green Language Education: Advancing Environmental Literacy Through Sustainable Language Teaching and Learning aims to unite researchers, educators, and practitioners worldwide to explore the critical intersection of environmental consciousness and language education. With its focus on promoting ecological awareness through innovative pedagogical approaches, the Conference serves as a vital platform for sharing sustainable teaching practices, research findings, and creative initiatives that bridge language learning with environmental stewardship.

The Conference will consist of seven keynote speeches, an interactive round-table discussion and several networking sessions. The keynote speeches will be presented by internationally renowned scholars from the following well-established universities: the University of Alabama, Harvard University, University of Gloucestershire, University of Southern Denmark, Mississippi State University, Tokoha University, and the University of New South Wales, who have expertise in ecolinguistics, environmental education, sustainable language pedagogy, and cross-cultural environmental discourse. The speakers will share examples of good practices, research insights and evidence-informed advice and suggestions with the participants. The discussion will focus on four carefully selected themes related to environmental literacy and sustainable language education. In addition, the round-table discussion will facilitate the sharing of effective strategies and practices in the field of green language teaching and learning, and stimulate new research ideas and insights. During the networking sessions, the participants will also have opportunities to establish potential professional collaborations to further develop and generate innovative approaches to incorporating environmental literacy into contemporary language education.

We welcome researchers, educators, practitioners, and environmental advocates to join this transformative gathering. Together, let us embark on a collaborative journey to integrate environmental literacy into language education, foster sustainable teaching practices, and nurture a generation of environmentally conscious global citizens through innovative language teaching and learning approaches.
