Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Global Poverty and Foreign Language Education -- Chapter 3: Global Poverty as Complex Social Issue -- Chapter 4: Research Methodology -- Chapter 5: Global Poverty Education in German EFL Textbooks -- Chapter 6: EFL Teacher Perspectives on Global Poverty Education -- Chapter 7: Implications of the German Case Study -- Chapter 8: EFL Global Poverty Education: German Lessons for a Global Context.
У: Springer Nature eBookЗведення: This open access book examines global poverty education in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, with particular focus on Germany as a case study. Combining textbook analysis with teacher interviews, it uncovers dominant narratives of poverty representation and education, revealing moral and pedagogical framings that impact learning outcomes within the framework of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education. Beginning with an overview of international and national policy frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as of contemporary research and theory on Education for Sustainable Development in foreign language pedagogy, the book explores how English-language materials depict poverty through language, imagery, and intercultural narratives, as well as what educational aims they target. It problematizes these perspectives in light of contemporary research on the complex causes and solutions of global poverty, revealing tensions between educational intentions and empirical realities. Even well-meaning materials, it argues, can reproduce stereotypes, simplify global dynamics, or promote paternalistic and misleading worldviews. Drawing on insights and experiences of teachers, the study highlights the ethical and emotional challenges of addressing such issues in the classroom and calls for pedagogies that engage learners critically and empathetically. Finally, it uncovers the subtle cognitive, cultural, and moral biases that shape how poverty is framed in education, reflecting patterns that extend far beyond the classroom and carry implications for global understanding and responsibility. Integrating insights from global poverty research, foreign language didactics, sustainability studies, and critical pedagogy, Reframing Global Poverty in Language Education offers practical guidance for educators, researchers, and policymakers committed to fostering reflective and globally aware learners. Roger Dale Jones is Professor of English Pedagogy at the University of Klagenfurt, Austria.
