Sustainable ELT for SDG 4: A Descriptive Study of Technology, Culture, and Faith

Abstrak

This descriptive  qualitative study explores how English Language Teaching (ELT) can support Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) through the integration of technology, culture, and faith. The research was conducted at Universitas PGRI Wiranegara involving six lecturers and twenty pre-service teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and lesson plan analysis. Findings reveal that technology promotes inclusive participation and digital ethics, cultural integration nurtures contextual identity and intercultural empathy, and faith-based reflection strengthens moral consciousness in communication. The combined Technology-Culture-Faith (TCF) model demonstrates how sustainable ELT can empower educators and learners to engage ethically, culturally, and digitally in language learning. This study contributes to the global discourse on sustainable education by presenting an integrative framework for reflective and values-driven English teaching
