Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom
Topics Secondary School Teachers Do Not Deal with in their Classes
The participating teachers were asked to list some topics they would not deal with in their classes under any circumstances by answering an open-ended question. Even though it was also a compulsory question, some participants opted out and left it blank. A fifth of the participants (n = 30) claimed that there are no taboos in their lessons and that they would be willing to talk about anything that comes up in their classes. Even if they stated that there are no topics they regard as taboos, some teachers added that they do not believe that every single topic belongs to EFL classes. As Respondent 139 put it, some topics should not be dealt with in “English classes where the atmosphere is generally joyful and where communication is encouraged”, and they would rather discuss heavier topics in Civilisation, History, Ethics, or the discussion classes with the headteacher. Respondent 134 also pointed at the fact that it is easier to discuss heavier topics in the discussion classes with the headteacher because, in this way, they can ask for help from experts and even invite them to their classes. Nevertheless, some teachers seemed very open towards any topic and in conclusion, Respondent 170 only asked the following question: “Why would there be any taboo topics?”

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.
