Abstract

This research paper presents a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of integrating sustainability themes into English Language Teaching (ELT). Acknowledging the growing importance of environmental consciousness, the study aims to evaluate how sustainability-focused ELT affects students' language proficiency and environmental awareness. Using data from various educational institutions that have adopted sustainability in their ELT curricula, the research employs statistical analysis methods to assess learning outcomes. The study's findings are anticipated to offer valuable insights into the dual benefits of ELT in fostering both language skills and environmental stewardship (Smith & Johnson, 2022).
