Foreign Language Learning and Achievement in the Hungarian Public Education System

Summary/Abstract: Our systematic literature review examines empirical articles on foreign language learning and achievement in public education published between 1990–2019 in five Hungarian journals of education. The 20 studies examined cover primary and secondary education, and the personal, school-related, and beyond-school factors of language learning; however, most of them are based on research into learning English. The articles shed light on the problems of teaching foreign languages in the Hungarian public education system and on the relation between achievement and school type, socio-economic status, and regional characteristics, which might lead to the conclusion that the Hungarian public education system does not provide equal opportunities of foreign language learning for all groups of society.
