This article provides the practice of Eco-CLA in English Language Teaching (ELT) classroom by not only focusing big scheme of degraded environment condition and its worrying future impact on earth in short and long period.

This research conducted a case study that involved 9 participants separated in 7 classes that were selected through the purposive sampling technique. The result of research scopes: (1) the students report on their relevant eco-literature; (2) the missing environmental values from their cultures and the drawbacks for the current surrounding situation and; (3) the momentarily appropriate responses (pedagogical implication) for the reformulation of those values to take a part into real actions in the future.
