Abstract
This research assessed the impact of content-based instruction (CBI) on students’ sustainability literacy in a first-year composition course using a mixed-method design. 221 students were pretested, then 121 received CBI emphasizing sustainability while 100 formed a control group. Post-tests and essays analyzing Kuwait's sustainability challenges and solutions were used. Results showed statistically significant improvements in sustainability literacy for the experimental group, reflected in higher post-test scores, increased use of sustainability terms, and identification of more sustainability-related challenges and solutions.
