LANGUAGE EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY: IMPLIED LITERACY AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS) IN ENGLISH CLASSES

Resumo

In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a comprehensive and impactful framework designed to guide humanity toward a more equitable future. Defined as 'a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future' (UN, 2015), this agenda is grounded in a collective commitment to transformative action. At its core are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which call for urgent and coordinated efforts from both developed and developing countries through global partnerships. Considering that “sustainability can be integrated as a powerful object of knowledge in the foreign language classroom, generating new ways of teaching beyond grammar and vocabulary acquisition” (VOERKEL, 2024), a pedagogical project was carried out with students of Business Management at FATEC-Itapira.
