Abstract

The paper delves into the critical role of curriculum and instruction in fostering global competence among learners. It argues that integrating global perspectives into educational practices is essential for preparing students to navigate the complexities of an interconnected world. The abstract discusses various strategies for achieving this goal, including the incorporation of diverse cultural content, the use of technology to connect students across continents, and the development of cross-curricular units that emphasize global issues. The paper further examines the challenges educators face when attempting to promote global competence and offers practical solutions to address these obstacles. By emphasizing the importance of global awareness and intercultural understanding, the abstract concludes that curriculum and instruction can be instrumental in cultivating a more interconnected and empathetic global citizenry.
