Problem 1 

How can you introduce the global dimension in your English classes?

 

Global education is an approach to education developed in the 1970s and 1980s which aims to promote students´ knowledge and awareness of world peoples, countries, cultures and issues. As an approach to language teaching, it involves integrating a global perspective into classroom instruction through a focus on international themes, lessons built around global issues (peace, development, the environment, human rights …), classroom activities linking students to the wider world and concepts such as responsibility and world citizenship.  Advocates of this approach see the foreign language as a window to the world and global education as a way to bring educational relevance to the classroom through meaningful content based on real-world topics. Global education has been defined as education which “promotes the knowledge, attitudes and skills relevant to living responsibly in a multicultural, interdependent world (Fisher and Hicks, 1985) and as education which aims to bring about “change in the content, methods and social context of education in order to better prepare students for citizenship in a global age” (Kniep, 1985). Cates (1990) describes global education as an approach to language teaching which aims at enabling students to effectively acquire and use a foreign language while empowering them with the knowledge, skills and commitment required by world citizens for the solution of global problems. Maley (1992) sees global education as a way to solve the perennial problems faced by language teaching: the gulf between classroom activities and “real life”, the separation of language teaching from mainstream educational ideas, and the lack of a content as subject matter.

Global education

Handout

What is global education?

Choose a definition and discuss about it.

 

1.Globalization has led to growing interdependence and increased

contacts with people from different countries;

2.Our planet faces serious world problems which require

international cooperation to solve;

3.Surveys show that modern youth is often ignorant of world

peoples, cultures and issues;

4.Current education systems fail to prepare young people adequately

to cope with these challenges due to traditional schooling based

on rote memorization, passive learning and examination pressures

The rationale for global education is that:

Why global education?

Look at your handout and choose one of the three reasons to share with your mates.

Advocates of global education typically criticize the narrow focus of much traditional language teaching with its emphasis on linguistic form, trivial content (shopping, tourism, pop culture), its avoidance of controversial issues, and its textbook stereotypes. Global language teachers strive to design language lessons around world regions (e.g. Africa), social issues (e.g. AIDS), international themes (e.g. the Nobel Peace Prize), and global problems (e.g. landmines, tropical rainforests). They see e-mail and the Internet as ways to promote global awareness and inter-cultural communication, and arrange overseas visits and exchanges to promote international understanding. Handout

Global education, through its emphasis on meaningful communication about real-world topics, has promoted interest in content-based instruction and communicative language teaching. It has also led language educators to reach out for teaching resources to global issue organizations such as Amnesty International, Oxfam and UNICEF, and to experiment with teaching ideas, activities and materials from such disciplines as peace education and environmental education. It has further led to new thinking about the social responsibility of the language teaching profession in a world of social inequality and linguistic imperialism.

Global education has had its biggest impact with teachers of English, who argue that the status of English as a global language (see Crystal, 1997) makes the EFL classroom ideal for global education. These teachers see English less as the language of native speakers, and more as a language for learning about the world and communicating with world peoples.

What is Citizenship ?The concept of citizenship has had a varied history reflecting the changing contexts in which it has been used. In the city-states of the Ancient World the status of citizen was reserved for a minority of the population with political influence but also with responsibilities towards the rest of society.

In revolutionary times, citizenship as a concept was used to demand an increasing involvement in political and civil society for previously excluded sectors of the population.

As the world was divided into distinct political territories, citizenship was closely associated with belonging and the status of citizen of a particular state or empire was used to claim rights (e.g. freedom, security, political participation and residence).

Recent globalising trends are promoting a new form of citizenship that encourages a sense of belonging and of rights and responsibilities that transcend national and cultural boundaries.

• What rights and responsibilities do you now have as a citizen that your ancestors might not have had 300 years ago? Do you think you and your fellow citizens are better off through having these rights and responsibilities?

• What resources or reasons can history provide for intercultural communication?

By definition, Global Citizenship involves engaging with

distant places and different cultures, but this is never

undertaken in isolation from our own lives and communities.

The focus is rather on exploring what links us to other

people, places and cultures, the (e)quality of those

relationships, and how we can learn from, as well as about,

those people, places, and cultures. All this might result in a

very localized expression of Global Citizenship, such as the

challenging of a racist remark in the school break.

Reflection point Review the Curriculum Design for English, and identify how it can contribute to develop knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes as listed below.

OXFAM

How do these elements relate to Byram´s model of intercultural communicative competence? Oxfam activities

OXFAN

A model of intercultural competenceAttitudes and feelings• Acknowledging the identities of others: noticing how others have different identities and accepting their values and insights.• Respecting otherness: showing curiosity about others and being willing to question what is usually taken for granted and viewed as ‘normal’.• Having empathy: being able to take someone else’s perspective, to imagine their thoughts and feelings.• Identifying positive and negative emotions and relating them to attitudes and knowledge.

Behaviour• Being flexible: adapting one’s behaviour to new situations and to what other people expect.• Being sensitive to ways of communicating: recognising different ways of speaking and other forms of communication that exist in other languages or other ways of using the same language.

Knowledge and skills• Having knowledge about other people: knowing facts about people whom one meets, and knowing how and why they are what they are.• Discovering knowledge: using certain skills to find out about people one meets, by asking questions, seeking out information, and using these skills in real-time encounters.• Interpreting and relating: understanding people or places or things by comparing them to familiar people, places, things in one’s own environment, seeing similarities and differences.• Being critical: noticing how other people think and act and distancing oneself from one’s own ways of thinking and acting, and being able to explain one’s judgements about both.• Becoming aware of one’s own assumptions, preconceptions, stereotypes and prejudices.

Action• Taking action: as a consequence of all the rest, being willing and able to become involved with other people in making things different and better. Handout
