To tap into tutors’ views about the importance of including global competence development in EFL teacher training programmes, three closed-ended questions were asked of them. First, they had to rate on a Likert scale how important they thought it was for their students to become global citizens (M = 4.56; SD = .61). 61.8% of the participants (n = 21) claimed that it was extremely important, 32.4% (n = 11) said it was important, and 5.8% (n = 2) said it was partly important for their students to become global citizens. No one from the sample claimed that it was not important to become a global citizen in today’s world.

The questionnaire also enquired into their views on whether it is their task to develop students’ global competence. The respondents had to rate their answer to the question “To what extent do you think it is your task to develop students’ global competence” on a Likert scale, and the average of their answers was 4.14 (SD = .67). 33.4% (n = 11) of the participants marked 5, meaning that it is absolutely their task, 52.9% (n = 18) marked 4, meaning that it is their task, and 5 of them (14.7%) marked 3, meaning that it is partly their task to nurture global citizens.

Finally, the participants were asked how important they think it was to develop students’ global competence in university language development seminars. The tutors rated its importance relatively high, with a mean of 4.41 (SD = .70). More than half of the participants (52.9%), 18 tutors stated that it was extremely important, 12 tutors (35.3%) stated that it was important, and 4 tutors (11.8%) stated that it was partly important to develop a global mindset in the context of language development courses. All in all, as it can be seen from the answers the tutors regard global competence as important and most of them believe that it has its rightful place in their courses, thus in EFL teacher training.
