PROSPER has eight competencies: (1) System Thinking; (2) Critical Thinking; (3) Envisioning for the Future; (4) Personal Involvement; (5) Interpersonal Relations and Collaboration; (6) Tolerance for Ambiguity and Certainty; (7) Communication and Use of Media; and (8) Strategic Action. The syntax refers to Project-Based Learning and has eight stages: (1) choosing the theme of the project; (2) open-class discussion on the correlation between the topic and sustainability; (3) meeting the experts; (4) structuring the project by considering its contribution to sustainability; (5) executing the project in a sustainable way; (6) presenting the project; (7) evaluating the project; and (8) publishing the project. PROSPER model highlights the concept of sustainability and increases awareness, which has real-world relevance on a global scale. The urgency of incorporating sustainability into ECS is intimately tied to student perseverance, which is anticipated to educate them to be change agents for a better world in the present and future. Keywords: project, sustainability, and perseverance; learning model; English for computer science 1. Introduction The new normal is a once-in-a-generation chance to look at the world as it is and concentrate on finding solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Rarely in the history of the human race has it had to deal with such a complex mix of issues as in dealing with the recent pandemic. Everyone possesses the power to make a significant and immediate difference in the world. Significant swings in power and conduct have been to the benefit of all of humanity, and this is a scenario that is possible again. For months, billions of individuals have been isolated. Existing lives and livelihoods have been jeopardized or destroyed. However, as certain restrictions loosen, individuals are emerging into a new, uncertain world with a renewed hunger for change. A series of answers to the world’s most pressing problems was signed into law by all member states of the United Nations on 25 September 2015. The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Specifically, the most crucial area where people must take immediate action is climate change and the environment, which raises awareness about sustainable living. This sustainability consciousness has risen to the surface and has recently become a primary focus as an increasing number of people recognize how what was once considered normal practices in life have consumed the earth and torn society apart. The misuse of science and technology contributes to the segregation of people from their environment and society. As we lose contact with these, the earth is forced to bear the costs of local and global disasters as we enter the Anthropocene epoch, which is believed to have begun with the Industrial Revolution when humans became the dominant force of nature.
