Description
This study presents the application of an AI-integrated sustainable project in English education between 100 students in Gang Thep High School and APEITIO Gymnasium Agros in Cyprus, focusing on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being, and SDG 13: Climate Action. By embedding real-world sustainability challenges into English language learning, students engage in meaningful, interdisciplinary tasks that enhance both language proficiency and global awareness. The project employs AI tools to support research, data analysis, and content creation, enabling learners to explore the intersection of climate change and public health. Through collaborative activities such as discussions, presentations, and digital storytelling, students develop critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. English serves as the platform for inquiry and action, promoting deeper engagement with pressing global issues. The integration of AI enhances accessibility, personalization, and innovation in learning. This approach not only supports the development of 21st-century competencies but also empowers students to become informed, responsible global citizens capable of contributing to sustainable solutions for people and the planet.
Key words: sustainable, interdisciplinary, global awareness, 21st century competences.
