Combining textbook analysis with teacher interviews, it uncovers dominant narratives of poverty representation and education, revealing moral and pedagogical framings that impact learning outcomes within the framework of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education. Beginning with an overview of international and national policy frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as of contemporary research and theory on Education for Sustainable Development in foreign language pedagogy, the book explores how English-language materials depict poverty through language, imagery, and intercultural narratives, as well as what educational aims they target. It problematizes these perspectives in light of contemporary research on the complex causes and solutions of global poverty, revealing tensions between educational intentions and empirical realities. Even well-meaning materials, it argues, can reproduce stereotypes, simplify global dynamics, or promote paternalistic and misleading worldviews. Drawing on insights and experiences of teachers, the study highlights the ethical and emotional challenges of addressing such issues in the classroom and calls for pedagogies that engage learners critically and empathetically. Finally, it uncovers the subtle cognitive, cultural, and moral biases that shape how poverty is framed in education, reflecting patterns that extend far beyond the classroom and carry implications for global understanding and responsibility.
