This article examines the structure and pedagogical significance of a model for developing ecological culture among future EFL teachers within sustainability-oriented higher education. The study emphasizes the integration of ecological awareness, reflective learning, interdisciplinary interaction, sustainability-oriented communication, and competency-based teacher preparation within a unified pedagogical framework.
