Integrating Environmental Education into English Language Teaching: An AI-Supported Approach
Summary
This conceptual paper proposes a 'Dual Learning Path' framework that integrates environmental themes such as plastic pollution with AI-powered tools in English language teaching, arguing that real-world content anchors motivation and critical thinking while AI tools support personalised learning.
This conceptual paper explores the framework of a "Dual Learning Path" for English language instruction, which integrates environmental themes with AI-powered tools to enhance learner engagement and outcomes. It argues that anchoring language learning in real-world issues like plastic pollution fosters motivation, critical thinking, and social awareness by providing a meaningful context for communication, aligning with CLIL principles. Simultaneously, AI tools are presented as crucial for personalizing learning and promoting autonomy. While the synergy of content and technology offers a transformative approach to L2 education, the paper acknowledges that its success depends on overcoming challenges related to teacher readiness and institutional support.
