To the best of our knowledge, research about what may cause a low level of
English proficiency among people in the Valencian Community (henceforth VC) is
limited. In order to remedy the absence of literature on this matter, the aim of this paper
is twofold. On the one hand, to ascertain the presence of English in the VC currently.
On the other hand, to analyse what the causes provoking a low level of English
proficiency in the VC might be. In so doing, six primary education teachers were
selected to respond to some questions in a semi-structured interview and one of their
lessons were observed in order to triangulate the data previously collected. The results
obtained suggested that the presence of English in the VC is not evident in everyday
life, although this foreign language seems to receive more attention in the educational
setting than it did in the past. In addition, some historical, cultural and sociolinguistic
aspects of the region, such as the absence of the necessity to use English as a means to
communicate or how foreign films are broadcast (dubbed and not in the original
version) have been identified as possible causes of a low level of English proficiency in
the VC, together with some inefficient laws, materials and methods addressed to the
teaching of English. Thus, the present study sheds some light on some of the hindrances
preventing students in primary education from attaining a proficient level of English in
the VC. [-]
