This book is a must have because it is one of a few books available for ESL/EFL teachers that directly addresses the use of environmental issues in language instruction. Among the useful insights discussed in the book, there is an interesting introduction to content-based instruction that showcases how environmental issues can be integrated into the language classroom. In addition, common questions about integrating environmental education into language instruction are answered using real-world examples. The book also contains complete sample lessons, some of which can be used with little adaptation.
