ABSTRACT

This study explores the possibility of using English musicals for global citizenship education for the elementary school pre-service teachers. Their beliefs on the effects of musical-based global citizenship education for elementary school students and their willingness to use the teaching method were also examined. To this end, an open-ended survey along with class observation was conducted on ten junior students who took the English Education Theater course for one semester. The results of end-of-semester lecture evaluation were also analyzed. The major findings are as follows. First, the students' level of satisfaction with the course was high. Especially, effective global citizenship education was found to be related to the issues of the instructor's views on global citizenship, creative script writing and readers’ theater activities. Second, the core competencies of global citizenship improved through the English musical course were “empathy”, “open attitude toward different perspectives”, “active participation” and “cooperation.” Third, all the participants responded that elementary English musicals can play a positive role in global citizenship education in elementary schools and they are willing to use the teaching method. The results of this study suggest that English musical-based lessons can be used as a way to educate global citizenship as well as to improve communicative competence.
