DIVERSITY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Journal Title: PedActa - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
It has always been obvious that we all think and behave differently, so it is no wonder that many people are concerned about the causes of our differences. Some people think that these differences are mainly for physiological reasons, so differences are inevitable and cannot be altered; others say our environment affects our intellect, character, and properties (Dweck, 2006). Hrubos (2008) defines diversity in education (2008) as diversity within the system, and differentiation is the process in which new units develop within the system. Diversity refers to a state of a variety of units at a given time. However, differentiation is the process that describes its dynamics. I begin my theoretical study with the discovery of secondary school diversity in the field of language teaching in Hungary. Here I distinguish the institutional, social and cultural factors that can cause differences. After that I focus on the types of diversity observed in higher education. Here we can talk about structural diversity (e.g. public or private) referring to the different types of institutions, the diversity of programs announced by the institutions and the diversity of reputations. So the main question of my research is which the dimensions of inequalities that cause dropouts are.
