III. Writing in the Discipline as a Platform in Education for Sustainable Development

    Education for Sustainable Development”(ESD) is a

vision of education that seeks to empower people to

assume responsibility for creating  a sustainable

future. Central to ESD is the concept of culture as an essential underlying theme. Recognizing that there is no

“single route” to sustainable development and that perception of, and ideas for sustainability are different,

IV. Reflection of English 121

       Although it is easy for me to learn English,it does not mean that I will have a good English.So teachers use methods to teach us how to improve our English but actually some of it are not effective.

        My secondary school is a EMI school and English is my major language.We can use English in lessons but unluckily my English did not improve a lot since my English teacher just told me to do more and more exercises.It was so boring and gradually I lose my passion.Sometimes there were some activities which attract me,for instance,watching films,playing games and listening songs.But most of it cannot increase my English level successfully.

They had detailed knowledge of their local community and could operate safely and successfully in it. Their knowledge of their community however, and how they used it were very different from that of adults. (e.g their knowledge  of the recreation areas,
