Backward Design

This study aims to develop a general English course model that cultivates global citizenship and global competence, employing the backward design by Wiggins and McTighe. In order to situate the model in a historical context and thereby help us see its continuity to and distinctiveness from the existing methodologies, this study first explained how various historical teaching methodologies in the field of ESL/EFL were developed and adopted in a way that integrated the needs of the changing world of the past. Then various global citizenship education(GCED) models as an educational response to the multiple crises of the 21st century were reviewed along with the significance of respective GCED models for the proposed general English course model. Considering that lifelong learning is crucial in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this model identifies the critical reading of media articles as a habit that prospective global citizens need to develop over the course of their lives. Thus the model includes core learning experiences for learners to engage in critical reading of media articles and figure out what it is like, so that they can keep practicing it over their lifetime. The kinds of global citizenship education featured in the proposed model are also explained. Following the backward design, the desired results are identified as (1) understanding globalization and global citizens, (2) understanding global competence, (3) understanding technology, and (4) understanding English communication. The assessment evidence is also identified and presented along with learning experiences and instructions developed in accordance with the desired results and assessment evidence.

This article addresses the present gap in empirical research on the possibilities and challenges of global citizenship education in U.S. public schools by presenting findings from a five-year, ethnographic case study. The setting for this study is Olympus High School, a small, suburban public high school in Pennsylvania. Beginning in the 2009–2010 school year, Olympus undertook a reform initiative to integrate teaching about the world into its curricular offerings. Although Olympus is just one case, the story of Olympus’s reform process reveals the inherent tension between preparing students to be knowledge workers in the global economy and preparing them to be active participants in global civil society. It also illustrates how test-based accountability and alignment to standards can impede efforts to broaden the curriculum in the interest of developing knowledgeable, responsible, and critically minded global citizens.

Assimilation Model

In an era of globalization, social demands for fostering global citizenship are increasing. Global citizens are those who have a critical understanding of interconnectedness, share values of responsibility, have respect for differences, and commit themselves to action. Global citizenship education has recently emerged as a prominent issue in Korea, a nation faced with the inflow of immigrants and international pushing for global citizenship education such as the Sustainable Development Goals. Development nongovernmental organizations have taken up the role of delivering global citizenship education. It is necessary to examine how development nongovernmental organizations’ pedagogic legitimacy has been constructed and exercised in the context of Korea. This article critically discusses development nongovernmental organizations’ roles in global citizenship education and suggests some improvements in the areas of ‘effectiveness and expertise, contextualization, and greater attention to human rights and action for social justice’ to be an alternative to the state-led global citizenship education, which is characterized as assimilation model and ‘us and them’ rhetoric.

The Impact

Today, globalisation expands the affiliation of the individual from a national level to an international level. Global citizenship has been regarded as an important outcome for students in major universities around the world, yet there is little literature about how it is integrated at universities in the Arab world, although some of them emphasise it in their policies. This article reports on how one Omani University, namely Sultan Qaboos University, interpreted and implemented global citizenship education in their undergraduate programmes. Particularly, this study seeks to identify the perceptions of students who studied a course entitled Global Citizenship Education in the academic year 2018–2019. The data were collected using two tools: a questionnaire which was administered to a sample consisting of 49 students and semi-structured interviews with 10 students. The data analysis was conducted by calculating the medium for the questionnaire and by employing an inductive process where the data were coded and then the themes that emerged from the data were highlighted. The results indicated that Omani University students had different perceptions of global citizenship and their perspectives tended to be more cosmopolitan and humanistic . In addition, they highlighted the impact of the course on developing three dimensions of global citizenship education: the cognitive, socioemotional and behavioural dimensions.
