Abstract

The study touches upon the issues of a sustainable education targeted at the balance between nature and civilization as well as society and its individuals. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that sustainability has become one of the key concepts in transdisciplinary academic discourse carried out in English, and to examine the language with the help of which the concept of sustainability is approached in recent publications on education. It is hypothesized that today’s reorientation to sustainable education has necessitated the meeting point of educational and ecological discourses to tackle modern umbrella concepts and issues of sustainable development, its challenges, opportunities, and strategies. The findings about communicative means, tools and strategies preferred for verbalization of the sustainable education concept reveal transformations in modern education processes, its participants, design, conditions, and outcomes. The analysis of academic discourse on sustainable education sheds light on the rhetorical repertoire of sustainability, relevance of future strategies in education implemented to converge ecological and professional competence, social awareness and individuals’ experience.
