Abstract
This article discusses the integration of environmental education and sustainability principles into the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL). The study examines the Green English Language Teaching (GELT) approach, the role of teachers in promoting environmental literacy, and the importance of using authentic materials. The authors view language learning not simply as a communicative process, but as an educational tool that fosters social responsibility, critical thinking, and a sustainable worldview in students. The article provides practical recommendations for project-based teaching of environmental topics in the classroom and the implementation of modern methodologies.
