Annotation: The article examines the ecolinguistic aspect of foreign language teaching process to students of different cat- egories. The purpose of this article is to define and describe linguoecological risks in the paradigm of language education. The characteristics of such linguoecological risks as language modification, language nihilism, loss of the national language originality are presented, and the negative consequences that may result from ignoring them in foreign language teaching process are also presented. The authors emphasize that in the context of glo- balization and the English language dominance, the problem of preserving linguistic identity becomes especially significant. The linguoecological risks which arise in teaching foreign language process are a topical issue in modern language education and require a comprehensive approach to be studied taking into account cultural and sociolinguistic factors. The article attempts to clarify the concept of “linguoecological risk”, and also presents an interpretation of linguoecological risks in linguodidactic coordinates and provides specific examples of their functioning in the educational process. This study emphasizes the importance of studying linguoecological risks as a priority task for teachers and government agencies involved in language policy. It will help to preserve the national language and ensure harmonious coexistence of different cultures in the context of globalization.
