Abstract

This paper’s aim is to examine how environmental education could be integrated into the English as a second/foreign language (EFL/ESL) classroom in R. Macedonia. Environmental education is a lifelong process which handles inter-rational components of the natural world and of that created by man, leading to mandatory management of the natural environment.
We are of the opinion that shared processing curriculum has advantages for both learning English and learning environmental education. We cannot call our English teaching successful if our students, however fluent, are ignorant of world problems, have no social conscience and use their communication skills for international crime, exploitation, oppression or environmental destruction, Cates (1997). For this reason, there is a growing interest for introducing environmental education in teaching EFL/ESL. The purpose of the incorporation of environmental education into teaching EFL/ESL is to raise the environmental awareness of global environmental problems
