The contributing authors discuss the uses and possibilities of the model, as well as other sustainability-related aspects of language education, such as Education for Sustainable Development, transformative language teaching methods, and ecolinguistics. The book consists of a combination of theoretical review articles and practical research articles drawing on findings from a variety of contexts and educational settings. While there are many practical examples of pedagogical approaches and methods for transformative education for sustainability, this book presents a thorough framework based on academic research, designed to be useful to language teachers, teacher trainers, policy makers, and curriculum designers, as well as academics working in fields such as applied linguistics, language learning, language teaching, language education policy, environmental education, and sustainability education.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinna Maijala\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor of language teaching and learning at the School of Languages and Translation Studies at the University of Turku, Finland. \u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eShe is the principal investigator of sustainability-related projects EKKO, SustainLANG, and SeedLING. \u003c\/span\u003eHer areas of expertise include research on the teaching and learning of foreign languages, culture teaching, language teaching materials and their reception, language teacher education, and sustainability in language teaching and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalla-Riikka Kuusalu \u003c\/strong\u003eis a postdoctoral researcher at EKKO-project at the School of Languages and Translation Studies, a university teacher at the Department of Biology, and a teaching coordinator at a forest conservation and restoration focused Nature2100 Fund at the University of Turku.
