This study investigated English as a foreign language learners’ global mindedness through the use of transformative learning experiences in the literature classroom. The sample consisted of 50 second-year English major students who were enrolled in the introduction to literature course in the academic year 2018 at a public university in the northern part of Thailand. The instruments included six lesson plans using transformative learning theory to promote global mindedness, a Global Mindedness Scale, a classroom observation schedule, and a list of semi-structured interview questions. The t test was used to compare the participants’ global mindedness before and after engaging in the activities based on transformative learning theory. Content analysis was also performed on the students’ work output to explore their transformational learning experiences. This study found that student global mindedness following participation in activities based on transformative learning theory was significantly higher compared to their global mindedness prior to engaging in the activities.

本研究通过在文学课堂中使用变革性学习经验，调查了英语作为外语学习者的全球意识。样本包括2018学年在泰国北部一所公立大学就读文学导论课程的50名英语专业二年级学生。这些工具包括使用变革性学习理论促进全球意识的六个课程计划、全球意识量表、课堂观察计划和半结构化面试问题列表。t检验用于比较参与者在基于变革性学习理论的活动之前和之后的全球意识。还对学生的工作成果进行了内容分析，以探索他们的转型学习经历。本研究发现，与参与活动之前的全球意识相比，学生参与基于变革性学习理论的活动后的全球意识显着更高。
