Abstract
English teachers play a key role in fostering students’ understanding and awareness of sustainable development issues. However, the way teachers implement sdgs in the classroom, and the relationship between their knowledge, attitude, and actual teaching practices, has not been thoroughly investigated. To address this research gap, the present study examines the relationship between english teachers’ knowledge, attitude, and practices concerning the integration of sdgs into english teaching at senior high schools in shanxi province and explores the impact of these factors on teaching behavior. This study underscores the significance of the knowledge, attitude, and practice (kap) model in analyzing english teachers’ integration of sdgs into their teaching practices. The kap model provides a framework for understanding how teachers’ knowledge of sdgs influences their attitude and how these attitudes, in turn, shape their teaching behaviors. This study adopted a mixed-methods research approach, combining quantitative questionnaires with qualitative interviews and classroom observations, surveying english teachers in public high schools across shanxi province. The results indicate that english teachers possess a high level of sdgs knowledge, a medium level of attitude, and a low level of practice.
