Good Morning,
One of my students in the method's course I am teaching asked a
question. I am hoping someone out there may have the answer/research.
Her question concerns research documentation on women learning English
more quickly than men. In her experience with her adult classes this has
happened. More men have dropped or have sporadic attendance than the
women. Therefore the women are making faster progress. Anything to
substantiate her view?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Cindy Shermeyer
