ESP, materials design, environmental science, sustainability discourse, ecolinguistics.Abstract
This article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations underpinning the design of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials for environmental science students, with a particular focus on integrating sustainability and climate change discourse. Situated at the intersection of applied linguistics, ecolinguistics, and environmental pedagogy, the study synthesises criteria-based approaches to material selection, learner needs analysis, and authenticity in textual resources.
