Özet

Recently, the world has become a global village and people have become global citizens. Global elements should be included into the teaching and training of this new type of citizenship. The Ministry of National Education of Turkey (MoNE) has internationalized its curriculums as many other educational institutions did. In this context, it has added global, international and intercultural elements into its curriculums. In this study, learning objectives that exist in MoNE secondary education English curriculum were examined in terms of internationalization. The document analysis method of qualitative research design was mainly adopted to collect and analyze data. According to the findings of the study, (1) the curriculum needs to include more internationalization elements, and (2) the global, international and intercultural elements integrated into objectives of the curriculum did not show a homogenous distribution according to the grades and the themes of the curriculum.
