Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Developing the Knowledge Component of Global Competence

In this section, the results of the second part of Study 1 and Study 4 are presented. First, the results of the interview study (4.2.1.1) unveil what kind of global content the five interviewed tutors deal with (Sections 4.2.1.1–4.2.1.2) and do not deal with in their classes (Section 4.2.1.3). Then it presents what kind of attitudes these tutors have towards dealing with global content in their courses, through examining tutors’ feelings towards dealing with such issues (4.2.1.4), the frequency of the inclusion of global content (4.2.1.5), and the importance they attach to dealing with global, local, and intercultural issues (4.2.1.6). As a final part of the presentation of the results of the interview study, it describes what background variables influence teachers in the inclusion of the global content in their courses (4.2.1.7). The chapter goes on to present the results of the questionnaire study. First, it showcases teachers’ likeliness to deal with certain global, local, and intercultural issues (4.2.2.1) and describes what issues they would not deal with in class (4.2.2.2). To tap into tutors’ attitudes about dealing with global, local, and intercultural issues, it presents the analysis of the scales about tutors’ feelings about global content (4.2.2.3), the frequency of the inclusion of complex topics (4.2.2.4) and the importance of teaching about global issues in their classes (4.2.2.5). Finally, it shows what aspects influence tutors’ decisions to deal with global content in their courses and how they come into play (4.2.2.6).

In today’s world, there are increasing demands for education systems for empowering students to become active and responsible global citizens who are prepared to address the challenges of the 21st century and who are equipped with global competence. This book examines global competence development (GCD) in English language teaching in Hungary from the perspective of university English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher trainers and secondary school EFL teachers. Based on the findings, it details the characteristics of globally competent teachers, offers a wide array of activities that can be used for nurturing global citizens, and outlines recommendations for the successful implementation of GCD in both secondary and tertiary education.
