a precise definition:
The worldwide movement toward economic, financial, trade, and communications integration.
Globalization implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers. However, it does not include unhindered movement of labor and, as suggested by some economists, may hurt smaller or fragile economies if applied indiscriminately.

One of the core concepts is communication.
It is one of the main important aspects, that the students can get a better knowledge about information and the behavior of the way of life in different countries is.
one possible definition could be:
Communication is the exchange and flow of information and ideas from one person to another; it involves a sender transmitting an idea, information, or feeling to a receiver (U.S. Army, 1983). Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit. Many of the problems that occur in an organization are the either the direct result of people failing to communicate and/or processes, which leads to confusion and can cause good plans to fail (Mistry, Jaggers, Lodge, Alton, Mericle, Frush, Meliones, 2008)

The world is flat is used as an image for getting closer together, that leads to the core concept of english as a lingua franca. That means that there is a need for an additional communication system, that everybody all over the world can speak with each other and understand them.
"...ELF is a way of referring to communication in English between speakers who have different first languages." ( http://www.jacet.org/2008convention/JACET2008_keynote_jenkins.pdf)
Collaboration

An Awareness is, that someone make shure that it is a deliberate action or behavior, to make sure to think in different ways and to make sure that it is understandable.

Identity is, how a person can define themselves and it is influenced by different aspects, eg. local aspects which includes the family-background, the national aspects and transnational aspects.
There are different core concepts, which should be mentioned. I only focused on a few of them.
Cosmopolitanism includes the thoughts, that the human being shared one morality and that all over the world could be the same thoughts, ideas or opinions about a topic.
A larger definition could be found on the following page:
Multicultural means that the identity is influenced by different cultures, which does not mean that it should be different nationalities, because a nation consists most of the times of different cultures.
The topic Diversity should be mentioned in the content of identity because it is necessary to show the differences and similarities between different pupils in a class, or shows that every human is an individual person.
Innovation
The word comes from the Latin language (innovare) and have the meaning renew. That shows the fact that an innovation is based on a already done thing/idea/ project and it could be renew or improved.
