Abstract

Chinese scholars studying gender discrimination in English language learning focus more on the teacher’s perspective. In this essay, the aim of my study is to analyze what the causes of gender discrimination in English learning among college students and examine the motivation behind it. Conjecture about the causes of gender discrimination in English language learning is social stereotypes, students’ self-perceptions, and the attitudes of English teachers. A questionnaire is designed to investigate gender discrimination in English learning among college students, and the results of the investigation indicate that students reckon that the top three reasons for gender discrimination in English language learning are social stereotypes, self-effort, and conformity. The implication for English teaching is English teachers should not discriminate against students of any gender, and education and training methods should be implemented based on gender differences. Also, English teachers should notice the peers’ influences in English learning and help them improve their English skills to meet the requirements of English-related positions in the recruitment market.
