Environmental education is one of the aspects tackled within the 17 Development and Sustainability Goals (SDG). Environmental education can be related to all levels of teaching and all subject areas. The following research proposes a set of activities to promote Environmental Education for Sustainable Development in sophomore students of the English Language Teaching Major of the University of Cienfuegos “Carlos Rafael Rodriguez”. The proposal of activities can contribute effectively to the students’ assimilation and integration of environmental knowledge in Integrated English Practice Lessons. Moreover, the exercises help the students develop abilities, attitudes and capacities useful to their professional life. Therefore, the proposal intends to guide a correct environmental education in schools. The authors consider that the proposal of activities throughout a multimedia may easier the English teaching learning process, allowing the students to continue learning English language outside the classrooms and develop critical thinking.
