V. Integration in Education for Sustainable Development
     Education is the foundation for sustainable development. It is a key instrument for bringing about changes in values and attitudes, skills, behaviors and lifestyles consistent with sustainable development within and among countries.
     The concept of sustainable development includes the key areas of society, environment and economy, with culture as an underlying dimension. The values, diversity, knowledge, languages and worldviews associated with culture influence the way Education for sustainable development is implemented in specific national contexts.Literature is a wordy representation of culture and culture is an embodiment of habits, customs, social behavior, knowledge and assumptions associated with a group of people. These days there is a shift from Using Literature in the language classroom to using culture in the language classroom. Hall focuses on the development of literature studies based on classics tradition to its present day shift into cultural studies. So if we go according to mathematical terminology Literature representation mean cultural representation. According to Kramsch “Culture is membership in a discourse community that shares a common social space and history, and a common system of standards for perceiving, believing, evaluating and action. The term culture will be used in the sense of whatever a person must have in order to function and live in a society”.Thus literature/culture provides a framework regarding social theories of second language acquisition and its relevance with language skills. This includes also socio-cultural factors in the language teaching/learning materials.
