Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


University Tutors’ Views about their Role in Developing their Students’ Global Competence

6.1.2.1.1 The Interview Study (Study 1). What emerged from the interview study with the five teacher trainers is that they all believe that educating students is part of being a teacher, thus, they are also responsible for developing their students’ global competence. Nevertheless, it should be every teacher’s task, no matter what their subject matter is, and students should all be active participants in developing these knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The way they see globally competent teachers is similar to the profiles drawn up in the literature (Cates, 2004; Longview Foundation, n.d.; Pike & Selby, 1988): they believe that globally competent teachers should above all else, be authentic in their role, and also involve their students in decision-making, create a classroom with a democratic atmosphere, bring in topics of global interest, include experiential learning activities in the classroom and have a meta-awareness, meaning that they should be aware of the power dynamics in their classroom and as critical educators, they should never indoctrinate their students (Freire, 1985).

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.
