Abstract :The ability to participate in international thought and action is more crucial than ever in today\\\'s globalized world. It is essential to analyze national, international, and cultural issues, as well as understand and value diverse perspectives. Schools and teachers, especially Future generations\\\' ability to develop such abilities is significantly facilitated by English language teachers. This mixed-method study examined pre-service English language teachers\\\' perceptions of their global competences and their views on global education. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, in addition to qualitative content analysis, to evaluate data obtained from a global competence scale and one-on-one interviews. The results revealed that while pre-service English language teachers showed positive attitudes and values, they had relatively low levels of global knowledge and skills. Furthermore, the qualitative data revealed that they lacked confidence in integrating global issues into their classrooms, and they experienced uncertainty, particularly in areas such as political and economic structures, international relations, and the impacts of globalization.
