A case study of early english language education in ethnic minority and bilingual primary schools in Baranya county

One of the purposes of this paper is to point out the fact that the English language is becoming increasingly popular and schools have to provide its educationat theexpense of other minority languages. The other aim is to show the very slow changes of the teaching methods for the English language in Baranya County during the last decade. In the first part of my thesis, I will support my claims by facts and the results of experimental programs and the data from surveys by the Hungarian Education and Culture Ministry. In the second part, I will introduce my own research in which I investigated the minority and an English-Hungarian bilingual school in Baranya County.
