ABSTRACT:

Today, environmental problems are seen in many places. Air pollution, too much waste, dirty water, and cutting trees are common issues now. Because of this, schools should teach children how to care about nature. I think it is better to start from primary school, because children learn habits quickly at this age. One useful idea is to include environmental literacy in language lessons. In these classes, students learn reading, writing, speaking, and listening. If environmental topics are added, students can improve language skills and also understand how to protect the environment. This article gives some ideas about this topic and explains its importance.
