| Abstract (English): | Ecolinguistics has developed over the past five decades in response to ecological crises and the growing demand for an ecological perspective within linguistics (Zhou, 2021). This study examines the integration of environmental content in 'English for Today Classes Nine-Ten', a secondary-level textbook used in Bangladesh, a country facing a range of environmental challenges. Employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, including the use of AntConc and semantic prosody analysis, the study assessed the frequency, context, and presentation of ecological themes such as sustainability, conservation, and environmental awareness. The findings revealed that ecological terms are included in the textbook inconsistently and with limited diversity, which may hinder students' development of environmental awareness. The research aimed to influence curriculum development and educational policies, underlining the need to incorporate varied and recent environmental issues into educational materials. Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive inclusion of ecological elements to promote ecolinguistic awareness among students. It contributes to ecolinguistics by recommending improvements in environmental representation in English curricula. Additionally, it offers valuable insights for educators and policymakers to enhance students' environmental literacy and promote sustainable development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | La ecolingüística se ha desarrollado durante las últimas cinco décadas en respuesta a las crisis ecológicas y a la creciente demanda de una perspectiva ecológica en la lingüística (Zhou, 2021). Este estudio examina la integración de contenidos medioambientales en "English For Today Classes Nine-Ten", un libro de texto de nivel secundario utilizado en Bangladesh, un país que enfrenta diversos desafíos ambientales. El estudio empleó métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos, utilizando AntConc y el análisis de prosodia semántica, para evaluar la frecuencia, el contexto y la presentación de temas ecológicos como la sostenibilidad, la conservación y la concienciación ambiental. Los hallazgos demostraron que el libro de texto incluye términos ecológicos de manera inconsistente y con poca diversidad, lo que podría limitar la concienciación ambiental de los estudiantes. Estos resultados buscan tener un impacto en el desarrollo curricular y en las políticas educativas, subrayando la necesidad de incorporar una mayor variedad de temas ambientales actuales en los materiales educativos. Este estudio resalta la necesidad de una inclusión más amplia de elementos ecológicos para fomentar la conciencia ecolingüística entre los estudiantes. También contribuye a la ecolingüística al recomendar mejoras en la representación medioambiental en los programas de inglés. Finalmente, ofrece perspectivas para educadores y responsables políticos con el fin de mejorar la alfabetización ambiental de los estudiantes y promover el desarrollo sostenible.
