Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


How do Hungarian Secondary School EFL Teachers and University Tutors in EFL Teacher Training Create a Safe Space for Doing Activities Aimed to Develop Global Competence? (RQ 3.2)

6.3.2.1 The Ways University Tutors Create a Safe Space for Challenging Discussions (Study 7) At the beginning of the focus group interview, the four teacher trainers were asked to describe the optimal classroom environment for them, which they characterised as a comfortable, safe space permeated with democratic values, where students trust each other, like being together, and do not feel pressured to contribute to the discussions. Their definition of a safe space thus mostly coincided with what the literature proposes (Gayle et al., 2013), even though they did not make any explicit references to the diversity of the students.

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.
