Özet:

Although the contemporary history of critical pedagogy and English language teaching methods extends to the 1960s, the application and use of critical pedagogy is not widely used in ELT sections and EFL class environments, because the principles of critical pedagogy and global curriculum publishers are influenced by commercial desires. Because the principles of critical pedagogy and the global language influenced by English are not in line with the commercial desires of the publishers of global curriculum books. In particular, the influence of global curriculum publishers has come to the present day as very common and dominant due to commercial factors. This study aims to reveal the opinions of the pre-service teacher candidates (N = 39) on the topics in the agenda published in the last month. Two data collection tools have been used to collect data. The first data collection tool covered topics that included social, cultural, religious, political and other risky topics. The second data collection tool is a interview form to reveal the teaching candidates’ detailed views on the inclusion of the subjects in the curriculum. The results show that the subjects shown to the participants were almost not discussed in the ELT classes. However, they pointed out that it is necessary to include the topics in the programming of the ELT departments in Turkey.
