Resumen

España se ha convertido en los últimos años en el mayor receptor de inmigrantes de la Unión Europea. Consecuentemente, sus hijos e hijas se han incorporado a nuestras escuelas planteando retos hasta hace poco desconocidos. Siendo conscientes de la importancia del dominio de la lengua de la escuela para lograr un buen rendimiento académico, no es menos relevante conocer las actitudes del alumnado inmigrante hacia estos códigos lingüísticos y los colectivos sociales que a través de ellos se expresan. En este contexto, utilizando una muestra de 390 estudiantes autóctonos y 180 estudiantes inmigrantes de la ESO, nuestro trabajo analiza las actitudes hacia el euskera y el castellano. De manera general, los resultados obtenidos nos permiten confirmar unas actitudes positivas hacia estas lenguas en el grupo analizado, pero esta afirmación debe ser matizada en el sentido de que el área geográfica de origen parece influir en las actitudes puestas de manifiestos por los escolares y es en el caso de los que provienen de Latinoamérica donde encontramos las variaciones más significativas.

Abstract

Over the last years, Spain has become the biggest immigrant-receiving country of the European Union. This has meant that immigrants' children have joined our schools, which has posed hitherto unknown challenges. We should be aware of the importance of mastering the school language for good educational achievement. Moreover, it is also important to know immigrant students' attitudes towards these linguistic codes and the social collectives who use such languages. In this context, with a sample of 390 native students and 180 immigrant students, our work analyses the language attitudes towards the Basque and Spanish languages. Overall, the results obtained allow us to confirm students' positive attitudes towards these languages. However, it seems that their country of origin has a strong influence on their attitudes towards these languages. The most significant variations are found in students from Latin America.
