Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom
Summary of the Good Practices in the Ways Secondary School EFL Teachers and University Tutors in EFL Teacher Training in Hungary Develop their Students’ Global Competence
Studies 5–8 shed light on the good practices used by EFL teacher trainers and secondary school EFL teachers to develop their students’ global competence in practice. First, the approaches they take when discussing controversial issues were examined. The results revealed that both teacher trainers and EFL teachers take varying approaches, depending on the issue at hand and the aim of the activity. If their aim is to educate, they tend to take a committed approach, however, when they encourage their students to explore issues, they are likely to take a balance or objective approach. There is one issue in the case of which their approach could be characterised as avoidance: neither tutors nor teachers like talking about politics in their classes. The results of this study imply that in teacher training programmes, it would be advisable to address how to introduce controversial issues and how to facilitate discussions about challenging topics in a critical, objective manner, without imposing one’s views on 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.
