Razumevanje trajnostnosti med mladimi v luči vpliva soft CLIL učnih enot pri dijakih drugih letnikov gimnazijskih programov / Understanding sustainability among young people in the light of the influence of soft CLIL learning units in second year students of high school programs

Abstract

Although we hear a lot about sustainability and sustainable development, the understanding of these concepts is still poor, which is also confirmed by the slow implementation of these principles in people's way of life. If years ago, we only heard about sustainable development, nowadays the term sustainability is increasingly used, which indicates the deeper meaning of this word. The definition of sustainable development only emphasizes economic development but not social, societal, ethical and environmental development. Therefore, instead of sustainable development, we speak of a sustainable future, which includes aspects of management and maintenance of balance on Earth. As part of the Erasmus + Problemorientierter Soft CLIL Ansatz für nichtenglischen FS Unterricht, we conducted a survey on the understanding of sustainability and sustainable tourism among second year students. The survey was important because knowledge about sustainability is weak among young people. The questionnaire contained questions on understanding different aspects of sustainability and sustainable tourism. We conducted it twice, before and after using the module Sustainable Tourism, with the aim of assessing the impact of this content on students' understanding. An important result of the work is the terminological and content contribution of the understanding of sustainability and sustainable tourism with a focus on young people, especially in the context of a foreign language.
