Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Aspects Influencing the Inclusion of the Global Content in English Classes

Even though there was a participant who said that there are no obstacles when it comes to incorporating the global perspective into her classes, many of them managed to list some constraints and factors that influence whether or not they bring in certain issues to their classes. The variable that was mentioned the most frequently was time (Á, H, I, SZ, T), whether they have time to prepare for these classes and whether they have time in class to deal with such topics. Áron and Tilda mentioned that sometimes they are just too tired to supplement the coursebook or write new materials that would facilitate discussions on global topics. The coursebook was also mentioned as an important factor by four participants (É, K, L, SZ), as they tend to include global topics that they can link to what is being discussed in the coursebook.

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.
