In the context of Melilla (University of Granada), this requirement is added\u0000 to the plurilingualism in the city (a large majority of the population is bilingual in Spanish and Tamazight). This investigation\u0000 aims at describing the plurilingual reality of first-year students, as well as the different socio-linguistic variables that could\u0000 account for results. Data obtained in several tests and questionnaires, with 206 subjects, determine that a clearly plurilingual\u0000 profile exists among the participants, although the great challenge is centred on reaching communicative competence in a foreign\u0000 language sufficient to become independent users.","PeriodicalId":298629,"journal":{"name":"Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124790301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
