Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Activities Based on High on Humans

5.3.1.4.1. About the Worksheet. This is the only worksheet subjected to analysis that was not piloted in the university context as its language level was not deemed suitable for first-year English majors. The lesson was created based on a song by the London-based indie band, Oh Wonder. It addresses the benefits of reaching out to strangers as an antidote to loneliness and isolation, which can be regarded as modern-day epidemics. The song and its video clip can be used in intermediate and upper-intermediate classes, as the level is set to B1+. The language-related goals of the activity sequence include expanding students’ vocabulary (in connection with communication), developing their listening and their speaking skills. It also aims to develop the students’ global competence: one of the aims is raising awareness to the issue of isolation (knowledge dimension) and another one is developing their enquiry skills (by encouraging them to ask questions). Finally, the sequence is intended to help students develop their empathy and to encourage them to take action.

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.
