The way how gender and language interact in educational contexts is influenced by the way how the teacher speaks to male and female students. Many researchers show that male students are asked more by the teachers than female students.
Also the first example in my personal experience is the way how teachers interact with male students and language they use is assertive while female students receive a more passive language.This distinction in how language is used may have long term effects on confidence of the students when gender expectations define the role students can take on.
Furthermore another example is in the textbooks students often encounter language that centers around men's contributions to society while women's achievements are downplayed. This kind of language shapes the students' perceptions of gender roles.
Finally social media platforms, especially those aimed at younger audiences, often reinforce gender stereotypes through the content shared by influencers or educational figures. As a result these gendered language choices on social media force traditional gender roles.
