According to article 5 of decree 127/2012, of the 3rd of August, from the Valencian Government, linguistic programs aim to enable families to have their children studying in Valencian, Spanish and English, despite the offer on other foreign languages. In this sense, they seek to achieve an education system for all, based on equity, participation, respect and non-discrimination for language reasons.

On one hand, we could say that the main objectives of plurilingual teaching for children, schools and families are some of those mentioned by the same Decree:-To improve the linguistic competence of the citizens of the Valencian Community, in foreign languages as well as in Valencian and Spanish.-To give a coofficial treatment to languages that guarantees the acquisition of linguistic competences both in Valencian and in Spanish. -To respond to the growing social demand to advance progressively towards plurilingualism and linguistic diversity which defines the most advanced societies. -To acknowledge the efforts made by the Valencian Community teaching centres towards plurilingualism.-To encourage and stimulate the already existing plurilingual programs.

On the other hand, we can also mention some benefits of plurilingualism: it opens new opportunities to restructure foreign languages programmes in schools; it contributes to offering a larger choice of languages there, and it creates a learning environment which corresponds much better to modern pedagogical principles than do traditional ones.We have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children.

Plurilingual education makes clear the crucial importance of competence in languages// with respect to educational and therefore social success, it reconstitutes the unity of language competence which is fragmented into different school subjects, it shows that, in a multipolar world, knowledge of languages is not reduced to the efficacy of linguistic communication, and let us conclude that the learning and use of languages are an experience of diversity, a place of human communication, and thus contribute in their own way to the development of the individual and of the European citizen.

Regarding schools, with the publication of the Decree, they have to coexist with the enriched plurilingual programmes and organizational documents (DPP & PNL) and the new plurilingual programme and the school linguistic project (PLC).

What is more, The Common European Framework or Reference is directly linked to plurilingual education. It helps to program, integrate and evaluate all the different languages. It is also very important the European Language Portfolio (ELP), that is a personal document for noting progress in language learning and reflecting on personal experiences of contact with other languages and cultures.
