Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Studies 3 and 4 – The Questionnaire Studies

To find quantifiable answers to RQs 1 and 2, two questionnaire studies were conducted, one among secondary school teachers and one among university tutors. The reason behind choosing questionnaires as a research tool was to be able to make inferences about teacher’s views about GCD and their attitudes towards dealing with global content in their classes based on a sample of the Hungarian EFL teacher population. Moreover, by using questionnaires, one “can collect a huge amount of information in less than an hour” (Dörnyei, 2010, p. 6), which seemed desirable after conducting two interview studies, where a single interview lasted approximately one hour. However, as Dörnyei (2010) points out, it is easy to produce “unreliable and invalid data by means of ill-constructed questionnaires” (p. 6). To avoid creating an unreliable instrument, Dörnyei’s recommendations were followed in the construction of my two questionnaires (Dörnyei, 2010; Dörnyei & Csizér, 2012). In what follows, first, the participants and the setting of the studies, i.e., pilot study in the secondary school context, main study in the secondary school context (Study 3) and the main study in the university context (Study 4) are presented in detail in Section 3.4.1. Then, the next section (3.4.2) presents the validation of the questionnaire and details the methods of data collection and analysis in Studies 3 and 4.

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.
