CONCLUSIONS

• Those students whose mother tongue is not a romance language, have problems when learning our official languages.

• The 82% of our immigrant students have a no romance language.

• 30% of students have Spanish nationality but they have a different language at home.

• Therefore the «REAL» immigration in our school is the 60%

• This kind of students needs as much support as the immigrant students.

SO…

• It’s obvious many things have to be done in the future to be able to cope with our school reality.• Nobody said it was going to be an

easy task.
