Abstract: Abstract Environmental education has gained its popularity in Indonesia, and it has been implemented in all levels of education starting from primary, secondary until tertiary levels. Students need to be aware of these urgent issues and they should be actively involved in solving the environmental problems in their surroundings. One of the techniques to engage and increase their awareness on environmental issues is by implementing case study method in classes. There have several researches in environmental education, however, most of the research focus on environmental education in primary and secondary school. This paper aims to explain the implementation of case method in a collaborative participative class which utilises materials related to environmental issues in higher education, particularly in speaking class. In addition, this paper also investigates the extent to which case method enables students to be more engaged and more aware with this issue. In completing the tasks, students in groups were given authentic cases in relation to environmental issues. Then, they built up the case, analysed the case from various points of views and proposed solutions to the case. Afterwards, they presented their solutions in the class. From the students’ perspective, this activity increases their engagement with the course and class tasks. Moreover, the students believe that their awareness on environmental issues and green economy such as kinds of renewable energy, forest management, sustainable urban planning, solar energy in different countries also increases.
