Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Topics University Tutors Deal with for GCD

6.2.1.1.1 The Interview Study (Study 1). Based on the tutors’ answers, it seems that they deal with a large variety of global and intercultural topics in their lessons, even though, in most cases, they do not deliberately bring the topics into their classes: either the students bring them up (by selecting their topics for discussion or by giving presentations on them) or they appear in the materials they bring into class with a language development aim. Except for the state of education in Hungary, the participants tend not to discuss any local issues with their groups: The reason for steering away from these issues was not explained by the respondents, but it might be for the same reason why the tutors are also more cautious when a current controversial local issue comes up: they are afraid of the political overtones (Hunyadi & Wessenauer, 2016) and they do not want to be accused of pushing a certain political agenda.

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.

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.
