Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Study 2 – The Main Study in the Secondary School Context

To ensure variety, the participants were, on the one hand, chosen from the author’s acquaintances and on the other hand, from volunteers who replied to a call published in a Hungarian social media group for English teachers, Mi, angoltanárok (Us, English teachers). The complete list of participants, including their pseudonym, code, gender, place of residence, school type and teaching experience can be seen in Table 3.3. Out of the ten participants, there were four males and six females, four of them were under the age of 35 and six of them were above. Concerning their place of residence and work, four of them were from the capital, Budapest, and six of them from the countryside, representing the eastern and western regions equally. Most of the participants (n = 8) taught in a grammar school, and two of these grammar school teachers taught in schools affiliated with a religious organisation. Three participants taught in bilingual schools, two of them in a bilingual secondary grammar school and one in a bilingual secondary technical school.

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.
