Building Environmental Awareness through Implementation of Ecocriticism in Literature Teaching

Abstract

Ecocriticism and Nature Studies have been proved potential research directions worldwide. In Vietnam and other Asian countries, the interest in ecocriticism among academics and educators is not noticeable. This study aims to figure out how this research approach could be applied in specific disciplines in schools in order to build environmental awareness for students. In this case, we have conducted a survey and an experiment in a particular subject: Literature, in a limited scale: Faculty of Literature, Vinh University, Vietnam. The findings revealed that applying ecocriticism in teaching literature is a practical and efficient way of raising environment-tal awareness without distorting literature nature.

Ho (2019) menyimpulkan bahwa implementasi ekokritisisme dalam pendidikan sastra dapat menumbuhkan kesadaran mahasiswa mengenai lingkungannya. Aplikasi dan teknik pengajaran dan pengadaan program berbasis ekologi yang efektif juga sudah dijabarkan secara komprehensif oleh Jacobson, dkk.…”

“…In addition, the benefits of introducing ecoliteracy into teaching have been tested in previous studies, for instance, Monaghan dan Curthoys (2008), Gunawan, Diarta, dan Surata (2011), Rusmana and Akbar (2017), Nadiroh andSiregar (2019), andAnh (2019). From these several studies, it is concluded that the implementation of eco-literacy in literary education can raise students' awareness of their environment.…”
