Integration of SDGs in Language Teaching: Assessing the Response of Indonesian Researchers--A Systematic Literature Review Using the SPAR Methods

This study aims to analyze the responses of Indonesian researchers to the integration of Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) into language teaching. The data for the articles were collected using the SPAR-SLR technique and thematic analysis. A total of 1701 articles were analyzed, sourced from 42 language teaching journals classified under SINTA levels 1 to 6. The articles collected were from journals with two issues per year. The findings of this research indicate that Indonesian researchers have not given optimal attention to the integration of SDGs into language teaching. This limitation is primarily due to the lack of awareness and capacity among educators to integrate SDGs into language teaching. The limited integration of SDGs in language teaching corresponds with the scarcity of studies on this topic. There is a need to enhance the awareness and capabilities of educators in integrating SDGs into language teaching. Simultaneously, researchers must adopt a scientific inclination in their studies and publications related to the integration of SDGs into language teaching. Collaboration between educators and researchers to improve awareness and capacity is recommended as part of the effort to achieve educational quality, in line with the goals of the SDGs, through language teaching.
