Abstract: As environmental issues have been of global interest for decades, this study investigated the interrelation between humans and the environment in folk literature through the lens of ecocriticism in higher education. The research aimed to assess students' understanding before and after lessons emphasizing ecocriticism theory and explore changes in their perceived environmental attitudes and behaviors. The study employed a mixed-method research methodology, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. The population consisted of English major students enrolled in an undergraduate literature course, with a sample of 48 students selected conveniently from the first semester of the 2023 academic year. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage) and parametric inferential statistics. Key findings indicate that students' understanding of ecocriticism theory improved significantly after the lessons. Additionally, there were noticeable changes in students' perceived environmental attitudes and behaviors following the intervention.
