Abstract

English lessons are being used to teach about climate change, combining language learning with environmental education. This aligns with the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) framework, which focuses on character development and global awareness. This research investigates the integration of climate change education into the P5 Project and English language lessons in junior high schools in South Sumatra, Indonesia. It examines the familiarity and willingness of teachers to incorporate climate change topics into their teaching. The study uses a qualitative research design, conducting interviews with 11 English teachers to explore their perspectives and experiences. The findings reveal that while some schools have implemented projects that promote environmental awareness and sustainability, such as recycling initiatives, there is a lack of systematic integration of climate change education into the English curriculum. Teachers expressed a willingness to teach about climate change but lacked  formal training. The research highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to integrate environmental literacy into language learning and the importance of teacher preparation in effectively implementing climate change curricula. The study contributes to the understanding of how to enhance climate change education at the junior high school level, particularly in the context of South Sumatra, and emphasizes the role of teachers in fostering environmental stewardship among students.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of sustainable education into English Language Teaching (ELT) for fifth-grade students at SDN 115 Palembang. As sustainable development gains global urgency, education plays a crucial role in fostering environmental awareness among young learners. However, limited resources integrating climate change topics into ELT highlight a significant research gap. In this context, multimodal texts-combining text, visual, audio and interactive elements-are a solution as an effective and interesting learning media. This research focuses on conducting a needs analysis regarding the use of multimodal texts in climate change learning in ELT. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with 30 students and qualitative interviews with English teacher and vice principal of curriculum. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for the quantitative data and thematic analysis for the qualitative data. Findings highlight the urgent need for multimodal texts to support sustainable education literacy in ELT. Students showed a strong interest in learning about climate change and taking action to protect their environment, emphasizing the effectiveness of multimodal texts in making these concepts more engaging and accessible. While students recognize the importance of learning English and climate change topics, existing ELT materials lack sufficient multimodal resources to facilitate this integration. It can be concluded that multimodal texts are urgently needed to support sustainable education literacy in ELT. Therefore, this study advocates for the integration of digital multimodal texts to enhance both language learning and sustainability education.
