Abstract	This essay describes the development of an English coursebook that drew upon environmental education for the content. The book was designed to assist Indonesian university students in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The three authors of the present essay served as the book's three editors. The authors of the individual lessons in the coursebook were lecturers at Indonesian universities. The essay begins with a brief introduction to environmental education. Next, common methodological foundation of environmental education and second language instruction are considered. These include learner centeredness, connecting class activities with students' lives outside school, curricular integration, a focus on learning for meaning, valuing diversity, concern for process and long-term effects, a preference for cooperation rather than competition or individualism, and teachers as fellow learners. Student participation in environmental education is emphasized. Finally, the process of the book's development is described and sample materials are shown and explained. An appendix lists ways to include participation in environmental education lessons. A bibliography is included. [This content was published in: S. Mayer and G.
