Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Topics Teachers Like Dealing with in their Classes

When asked what kind of topics they like to deal with in their English classes, the participating teachers either started to talk about these topics in broader terms or they started to list specific topics. Broadly speaking, for instance, Emma and Izabella both prefer topics students might find interesting. Béla, Emma, Hedvig, Izabella, Leó, and Tilda mentioned that they prefer dealing with topics such as leisure, entertainment, arts, music, and culture, because these topics can create bonds between the students and them and these topics usually appeal to the students. Szilveszter and Tilda love talking about controversial or provocative topics with their students, as they are interested in their students’ opinion about them. Emma and Áron mentioned that they prefer discussing the news and topics of local interest with their students, and Édua and Izabella prefer discussing topics of global interest. Other characteristics of preferred topics listed were the following: they should be thought-provoking (L), they should be connected to the core material (I) or to the topics which may appear in exams (B), or they should be interdisciplinary (T). Apart from cultural topics, the topic of the environment seems popular among the interviewees, as four participants (E, É, I, L) mentioned it as their favourite one.
