This study uses a literature review method to discuss how Green Curriculum Design can integrate ecological awareness and faith-based morality into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching. The purpose of this study is to explain how English learning can include topics about nature and moral values based on students’ faith. The researcher collects and reviews previous studies about environmental education, moral values, and English teaching. The findings show that using ecological themes in English lessons can help students care more about nature and learn moral messages supported by their religious beliefs. Teachers also play an important role in connecting English learning with environmental and moral values in the classroom. In conclusion, Green Curriculum Design helps students not only improve their English skills, but also become responsible and caring individuals for nature and society.
