As a pilot for the focus group interview study concluding the classroom study in the secondary school context (see in 5.3.2), four university teacher trainers (Fred (F), Ingrid (I), Marcella (M), Ulrich (U)) were invited to participate in the focus group interview session. All these participants teach ELT methodology-related courses in the same research context, thus, they seemed to be suitable participants for an interview about best practices of dealing with global, local, and intercultural issues in the EFL classroom. The following sections present how they create a safe space for discussions about challenging topics (Sections 4.3.2.1–4.3.2.3), what approach they take when discussing controversial topics (4.3.2.4), what activities they use for nurturing their students’ global competence (4.3.2.5) and what attitudes their students have towards these activities (4.3.2.6). The sections are organised around the most prominent emerging themes from the interview and supplemented with quotes taken from the interview transcript (with the location of the quote in the transcript in brackets).
