3.3.1.1. The Pilot Study at a University in Budapest

Jegyzet elhelyezéséhez, kérjük, lépj be.!

The participants of the pilot study were selected using purposive sampling strategies. As one of the aims of the study was to reveal teacher trainers’ views on global education in a teacher training institute, a popular university in Budapest was chosen as the context of this study.

What the participants had in common was that they all taught the courses Language Practice 1 and 2 at the time of the interviews, a compulsory two-term course (approximately 100 hours) for all first-year English majors and EFL teacher trainees. The list of participants in the pilot, including their pseudonym, their teaching experience, teaching experience in the research context, and their position in the department can be found in Table 3.1. To make the presentation of the results easier, the informants were all given a code, which consists of the first letter of the word pilot and the first letter of their pseudonym.

As can be seen from the above, four participants, two males and two females were selected for this pilot study, representing different age groups, and having different lengths of teaching experience. Two of the participants were core members of the selected department (one of them was retired), the other two tutors were temporary lecturers. Even though three of them were teachers of other subjects as well, they were mainly involved in teaching English at the time of the interviews.
