Parent oriented teacher selection causes language diversity

Abstract: An evolutionary model for emergence of diversity in language is developed. We investigated the effects of two real life observations, namely, people prefer people that they communicate with well, and people interact with people that are physically close to each other. Clearly these groups are relatively small compared to the entire population. We restrict selection of the teachers from such small groups, called imitation sets, around parents. Then the child learns language from a teacher selected within the im… Show more

“…Another major contribution of the study is that student performance is at least partially influenced by the emotional well-being of the regular teachers.

The participants agreed that ‘A sense of leadership allows the creation of spirit and knowledge that stem directly from the person himself.…”

“…The outlined discrepancy could be investigated by establishing the potential impacts of each of the individual dimensions of generative leadership. Regarding the attitude of care and inclusion and being tolerant to differences, a major remark made by the study undertaken by Cimentepe and Bingol (2017) is that the global teacher workforce is facing the challenge of ethnic and cultural diversity. This is particularly relevant for Saudi Arabia, in which expatriates are considered to be more skilful than the native labour force (Carey, 2018: 1).…”
