Abstract:
“Private Universities: Learners’ expectations in English” is my dissertation topic for my master’s degree in English. Through this work I will try to find out what types of learning expectations private University students want to fulfill in their learning process.
Learners’ expectations play an important role in teaching-learning process. If student’s expectations of learning match with teachers’ teaching styles, students are able to learn more. So, it is necessary to know how students tend to learn because socio-cultural variables of learners play significant roles in classroom learning.
A learner is, above all, a social being; he/she grows up in a social setting to share many, if not all, of the beliefs of the cultural context in which he/she is born and reared up. His/her beliefs and attitudes, expectations and mode of learning, are therefore, largely shaped by his/her socio-cultural conditions.
