Summary/Abstract: The learning/teaching process never goes on amid perfect circumstances with ideal teachers and students, but with a certain social background, that influences both the process of learning and its institutional conditions. The success of learning is highly influenced by the “language” – as the one taught and asked by teachers, as a skill to be learned by students. Our researching work focuses on the reading- and text understanding skills of Transylvanian Hungarian students from Romania, who are learning in Hungarian language, in mostly because they are not the part of national and international evaluations, being underrepresented in the Romanian PISA-researches and their data gets lost between Romanian students data. My essay studies the classical variables of the social background(as sex, parents education, reading habits) and also the connections between the lingual environment and learning achievements (bilingual environment being a special condition of students living as members of a ethno-linguistic minority community).
