Key words: feminist pedogogy, educational settings, cultural expectation, personal growth.Abstract
The connections between language acquisition and gender equality has been a
crucial topic of inquiry in educational studies in recent years. The impact of gender
dynamics on language learning and its consequences for instructional strategies in
various educational situations are examined in this study. The study draws attention to
enduring differences in language learning outcomes across genders by examining
historical and modern viewpoints on gender in education. It examines the theoretical
frameworks that support these processes, such as feminist pedagogy and social
constructivism, and it surveys the body of research that shows the nuanced connection
between language competency and gender norms. This study uses a mixed-methods
approach in terms of methodology, combining qualitative information from interviews
and classroom observations with quantitative data from language competency tests.
Students from a variety of backgrounds participate, enabling a comprehensive
knowledge of the experiences of various genders in language learning settings. The
results show that boys usually show more confidence, although girls tend to show
stronger language ability and involvement, indicating that socialization and cultural
expectations greatly influence their experiences.
