Sustainable Development in Language Education

Abstract

The goal of the study is to identify the components of sustainable development—economic, social, and cultural—as recommended by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and how they apply to the foreign language instruction process at Iraqi universities. The development of sustainable development principles is considered while evaluating the importance of two fundamental components of high-quality education: the learning environment and the curriculum. The research employs a qualitative design and uses an observational instrument with a sample of fifty students at second-year English department/college of education (Ibn-Rushd) at Baghdad University. The survey's findings, which sought to learn how students saw these two, are shown. An examination of efficient methods for enhancing pupils' proficiency in learning the presentation includes cross-cultural elements and English that are appropriate for sustainable development. Practical implementation suggestions are made about the implications of students participating in multidisciplinary activities and events that aim to achieve sustainable development objectives.
