The aim of the paper is to present the findings of an empirical study which contributes to the ongoing research into gender effects on second language acquisition by exploring a biological influence on L2 pronunciation learning. One of the most frequent arguments used to vindicate single-sex education is that there are substantial sensory and perceptual differences between males and females which rationalize gender-specific teaching methods and gender-segregation at schools. The present study provides some preliminary insights into the perception of selected phonetic contrasts by Polish secondary school learners with the aim of investigating gender-based similarities and differences in the accuracy of sound recognition by males and females. The findings suggest that a commonly cited female advantage in acquiring L2 pronunciation cannot be attributed to their superior phonetic perception, as male participants performed equally well and identified the same number of English segments correctly.

Edukacja zróżnicowana ze względu na płeć budzi wiele kontrowersji wśród polityków, rodziców, nauczycieli, a także badaczy edukacyjnych. Niestety dyskusja na temat jej ewentualnych przewag nad szkolnictwem koedukacyjnym, w obliczu niepewnych dowodów naukowych, została zdominowana ideologicznie i do dziś taką pozostaje. W artykule zidentyfikowano problemy definicyjne, które utrudniają prowadzenie dyskusji nad efektywnością edukacji zróżnicowanej ze względu na płeć. W neutralny sposób, oczyszczone z nieścisłości i pozamerytorycznych treści, zostały przedstawione argumenty wysuwane zarówno przez zwolenników, jak i przeciwników tego, uważanego za kontrowersyjny, sposobu organizacji nauczania.

Single-sex education provokes many controversies among policy makers, parents, teachers, as well as education researchers. Unfortunately, the discussion about its potential advantages over coeducational schooling, in light of uncertain empirical evidence, has been ideologically dominated and remains this way to date. This article identifies definitional problems, which hinder effective discussions on the issue of single-sex education. Arguments proposed by advocates and opponents of this form of education are outlined in a neutral way, focusing on their merits rather than on their ideological grounds.
