Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Piloting the Worksheets in the Secondary School Setting

After the participants were recruited for this study, they received the materials and the instructions as well. They were asked to choose four worksheets from the ten, do the activities with their classes, write a reflective journal on their experiences, and ask the students to fill in the feedback sheet presented in the previous section. The participants received the instructions at the beginning of March 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all schools closed, and an emergency remote teaching period started in the middle of March. Already at the beginning of the period, several teachers pulled out of the study, but some of them promised to go on online. As online teaching came as a surprise for the teachers, and many of them were admittedly not prepared for this scenario, some of them were struggling and could not manage with participating in a study on top of preparing for their lessons. In the end, there was ongoing work in only five groups. Communication with the teachers became even more difficult, and I only learnt about the progress of the groups by checking the feedback sheet regularly, which was shared with the students using a QR code at the bottom of each worksheet. All in all, little data was gathered in this period, so I deemed it wiser to carry out the study again in the Autumn semester, which many teachers believed would mean face to face teaching again.

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.
