The narrative of how a modern lifestyle embedded in language brings about a fatal impact to see nature as resource for economic growth. Stibbe underlines this consumerism must be countered by cultivating ecological awareness to reshape that narrative. This study explores of how ELT students conduct an eco-dialog (Zapata, 2023) to raise their awareness and how they design posters reflecting their cultures on environmental sustainability. The study implemented a qualitative study and used the purposive sampling technique involved 18 sixth students of Ecolinguistics Course in English Department of Raden Intan State Islamic University. The eco-dialog was implemented between the students and each student’s elder about traditional ecological practices. In class, the discussions occured to compare with modern sustainability concepts and practices. The output was students designing poster with the messages about environmental caring. The findings show that eco-dialog reshapes their narrative of how they see nature based on their cultural identity and inspire them to ideas through posters for delivering the voices of nature
