Abstract


This paper presents a study on designing a prototype of web-based modules for English for Computer Science (ECS) with the integration of sustainability literacy. The modules are designed for Computer Science students at a private higher education in Indonesia. The ECS course is an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course and follows a structured format to ensure a smooth transition from one point to the next. The four modules in the prototype cover topics such as reducing the negative impacts of computers, managing their manufacturing and disposal costs, improving energy efficiency, and harnessing the power of technology to promote sustainability. The eclectic approach is used to design activities for each stage of the learning process, including starting out, language focus, practice, assessment, and expansion to meet the requirements of the ESP pedagogical standard. The web-based interactive modules provide students with the language skills and knowledge needed to engage in discussions and initiatives related to sustainable technology.
