Resumen

La creación de dispositivos específicos para la acogida del alumnado inmigrante de nueva incorporación a los sistemas educativos occidentales tiene cada día más importancia. Cataluña creó en 2004 las aulas de acogida como un instrumento para fomentar el aprendizaje del catalán y la adaptación escolar del alumnado. Estas aulas se ubican en escuelas e institutos y el profesorado forma parte del claustro. El alumnado desde su llegada al centro escolar reparte su tiempo entre el aula ordinaria y el aula de acogida. El artículo presenta los resultados de la evaluación de las aulas de acogida de la educación primaria el curso 2005–2006. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos, conocimiento de catalán y adaptación escolar. Los resultados muestran que la adaptación escolar y la lengua familiar del alumnado son dos variables que se deben de considerar para describir el conocimiento lingüístico en catalán del alumnado extranjero.

Abstract

Creating specific facilities to receive new immigrant students who are incorporated into the educational systems of western countries has become increasingly important. In 2004 Catalonia established linguistic support classrooms as a tool to promote newcomers' Catalan language acquisition and school adaptation. These classrooms are located in primary and secondary schools, and language support teachers are part of the teaching staff. From their arrival, immigrant students divide their time between mainstream classroom and language support classes. The paper presents the results of evaluating primary school linguistic support classes in Catalonia during the academic year 2005–2006. The effectiveness of these classrooms was measured through two different variables: knowledge of Catalan and school adaptation. Results show that school adaptation and the students' family language are two variables which should be taken into account to describe foreign students' linguistic knowledge of Catalan.
