Abstract

What role does foreign language literature didactics play in placing sustainability at the centre of foreign language teaching? The article presents three educational policy documents that can serve as guidance: the UNESCO Roadmap ESD 2030, the Guide to Embedding Textbooks for Sustainable Development and the GreenComp. Sustainability is communicated culturally. Raising critical-ecological awareness of cultural sustainability by engaging with literature and language is therefore also a core task of foreign language teaching.
