Perfil plurilingüe del alumnado de nuevo ingreso en el Campus de Melilla de la Universidad de Granada

Abstract

Being competent in foreign languages is evident at university due to student mobility and the transmission of knowledge and research in a multilingual higher education. The Andalusian Council of Universities set the level B1 as a requirement for obtaining a university degree. In Melilla, this requirement is added to the high percentage of linguistic diversity that exists. This investigation describes the plurilingual reality of first-year students, and the socio-linguistic variables that account for results. With 206 subjects, we determine that a clear plurilingual profile exists, although their level in a foreign language is not sufficient to become independent users.
