language attitudes query

This isn't exactly the same thing, but in Israel it's very clear
that Arabic-speaking students have a 

strong tendency to study in
English departments because the language of instruction is English 

and
this means that they won't have to compete with native speakers of
Hebrew in Hebrew-medium 

classes.
