Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Good Practices of the Incorporation of the Global Perspective into the EFL Class

In the following section, I intend to showcase some good practices of how EFL teachers aimed to nurture global citizens in class, using international examples. First, examples using audio-visual materials to develop aspects of global citizenship are presented, through studies from Hong Kong (Ho, 2020), Argentina (Cossu & Brun, 2020) and France (Ritch, 2020). Second, examples of the incorporation of literary texts to the same end are presented from classrooms in Germany (Burwitz-Melzer, 2001; Merse, 2015) and Thailand (Valente, 2004). Third, good practices of using speaking activities to promote global citizenship are shown from Brazil (Gimenez et al., 2011), England (Solomon, 2020) and Saudi Arabia (Alghamdi, 2020). The final section presents experiential learning activities through projects from Greece (Vlachopoulou, 2020) and joint projects involving Hungary and Turkey (Kaçar & Fekete, 2021) and Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, and Turkey (Lázár, 2015). Even though the list is not exhaustive and there are certainly more studies presenting great ideas for the EFL classroom, the following section is intended to give an overview of great initiatives and serve as inspiration to teachers or teacher trainers who are thinking of incorporating the global perspective in their lessons.

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.
