[英文摘要] :
UNESCO’s Education 2030 project released its set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which identify environmental, economic, and societal issues facing the planet and its inhabitants. In Taiwan, most education for sustainable development (ESD) involves occasional teaching of environmental issues. This paper, however, presents preliminary efforts in the elementary school EFL classroom to address global competency skills, including awareness of non-environmental sustainability issues and attitudes such as global-mindedness and perspective-taking. Relevant texts from children’s literature and cultural objects were paired with ESD activities regarding responsible consumption to introduce sustainability concepts and their relevant English vocabulary. After a classroom trial in an afterschool English program, semi-structured interviews of students demonstrated that students had a growing understanding of responsible consumption topics, and a qualitative assessment of vocabulary comprehension showed an expansion of simple English economic vocabulary pertinent to SD issues.
