Towards Global Competence through Graphic Novels
Abstract
The chapter studies whether adolescent foreign language learners' global competence differs before and after the programme of implementing authentic graphic novels on intercultural themes as teaching and learning material. An online survey with a questionnaire adapted from OECD 2018 PISA Global Competence Assessment (OECD, 2020) was completed before (n = 120) and after (n = 56) the two-month programme. The results showed that the participants' post-programme attitudes to four global competence constructs were more positive and statistically significant for the constructs of Awareness of intercultural communication and Interest in learning about other cultures. Also, statistically significant difference was found for girls' more positive attitudes towards all four global competence constructs. It is concluded that effective EFL practices for developing intercultural competences of adolescents depend on targeted PD of EFL teachers for enhancing teacher intercultural sensitivity and their reflective approach to introducing innovation, as components of their intercultural pedagogy.
