Ecological Poetry and Environmental Literacy through Language Socialization
Abstract
This chapter examines the role of ecological poetry in fostering environmental literacy within the framework of language socialization and Ecological Systems Theory. Ecological poetry functions not only as an aesthetic expression but also as a pedagogical tool to cultivate cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of ecological awareness. Using Bronfenbrenner's model, the chapter highlights how students' ecological literacy develops through interactions across microsystems (classrooms), mesosystems (student organizations), exosystems (institutional policies), and macrosystems (cultural values). Writing ecological poetry enables students to articulate sustainability concerns, reflect critically on human–nature relationships, and become active agents of ecological discourse. The integration of creative literary practices in language education is presented as a transformative approach to nurturing critical ecological consciousness and promoting sustainability in higher education.
