Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Tutors’ Views on Global Competence Development

This section starts with the presentation of the results from Study 1, which was an interview study with the participation of five university tutors involved in EFL teacher training. Sections 4.1.1.1 and 4.1.1.2 present what they mean by global competence development, and Section 4.1.1.3 shows how they see it in practice in their classes. The following sections summarise the tutors’ views about whose task it is to nurture global citizens (4.1.1.4) and the characteristics of globally competent teachers (4.1.1.5). Finally, Section 4.1.1.6 details why it is important to include GCD in teacher training. In the second part of Section 4.1, results from Study 4 are presented, which was a questionnaire study involving 34 university tutors working in EFL teacher education programmes in Hungary. Section 4.1.2.1 showcases what Hungarian university tutors mean by global competence using data yielded by the questionnaire. Then, Section 4.1.2.2 details how respondents see globally competent teachers and to what extent they regard themselves as globally competent tutors. Finally, in 4.1.2.3, their views in connection with the role of teacher training in GCD are presented.

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.
