Exploring the Intersections of Green ELT, DEIB, Virtual Reality, Mediation, Life Skills, and Task-Based Teaching, Learning & Assessment

¢This study delves into the connections between green ELT, DEIB, virtual reality, mediation, life skills, and task-based teaching, learning, and assessment in the context of sustainable and inclusive education. The study emphasizes the significance of incorporating ecological concepts into language instruction, advocating for diversity, fairness, and inclusivity in learning environments, and using virtual reality technology to augment language acquisition. In addition, the study highlights the importance of mediation in language instruction, with a specific focus on linguistic and cultural mediation, as well as the cultivation of essential life skills like critical thinking and problem-solving. Previous studies suggest that integrating these elements into language instruction approaches can result in more effective, inclusive, and responsive teaching in the future. The study concludes by highlighting the potential for further research, offering suggestions for educators, and addressing the limitations of current educational practices.£
