Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Aspects Influencing the Inclusion of Global Content in Secondary EFL Classes

As detailed in Sections 3.4.2.1 and 4.2.2.6, the literature and the qualitative inquiries preceding the questionnaire study helped me compile the part of the questionnaire which enquired into the aspects which influence the inclusion of global content in secondary school teachers’ classes. Based on the interviews, time, teachers’ competence, students’ interest, the group, the topicality of the issues, and students’ language level emerged as important factors influencing the incorporation of such topics. This list was compared to variables emerging from the literature, and finally, for the questionnaire, items measuring seven underlying constructs were written: time, group, teachers’ competence, professional development, materials, students’ interest, and teachers’ attitude. Following the procedures described in 3.4.2.2, only 6 constructs remained and were subjected to analysis to explain how they influence teachers’ decision to incorporate global content in their lessons. The descriptive statistics of the remaining questionnaire constructs can be seen in Table 5.18.

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.
