Abstract

Relatively little research is done on teacher’s speech both in the national and international
literature. Investigations do not discuss that the communication or language attitude of educators
are influenced by their gender although it is well-known from sociolinguistic literature for decades
that large differences can be found between genders concerning language attitude. Following
the overview of literature, this study presents the results of a research project conducted at the
University of Debrecen in spring 2013. It has been found that although the group of students with
a teaching major is homogeneous in many senses, a few number of striking differences can be
found between men and women in terms of gender expectations and stereotypes.
