As sustainability education gains global prominence, integrating sustainability concepts into English Language Teaching (ELT) has become increasingly important, particularly in the Indonesian context. This case study explores the integration of sustainability principles into the English curriculum at SMP Negeri 12 Sekayu, emphasizing the dual role of ELT in promoting environmental awareness and developing students’ language skills. Using a qualitatively-driven mixed-methods design within a teacher research framework, data were collected from 42 seventh- and eighth-grade students through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to assess their sustainability consciousness in three dimensions: awareness (knowingness), attitudes, and behaviors. The results indicated a high level of sustainability consciousness among students, with grand mean scores of 3.29 for knowingness, 3.27 for attitudes, and 3.27 for behaviors. Among the three pillars of sustainability, social sustainability emerged as the area with the highest awareness and commitment, while economic sustainability showed relatively lower engagement. Furthermore, students reported positive changes in personal habits, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and promoting sustainable practices within their families and communities—demonstrating the internalization of sustainability values and their roles as agents of environmental change. In light of these insights, the study recommends integrating sustainability into ELT through contextualized reading materials, project-based learning tasks, and classroom activities that promote sustainable actions. Although conducted in a semi-urban context, the research illustrates ELT’s potential to support sustainability education and calls for further studies to broaden its applicability. Keywords: Sustainability Education, English Language Teaching, Environmental Awareness
