A renewed interest has arisen on the importance of language
attitudes in the acquisition of an additional language. Variables, such
as age, gender, mother tongue, and the sociolinguistic context, have
been taken into consideration when exploring language attitudes.
However, the research on young learners’ attitudes towards
languages in English-based schools is scarce. The present paper
focuses on young learners’ language attitudes in a high English
immersion context in the province of Castelló de la Plana, in the
Valencian Community, where two official languages coexist, Spanish
as the majority language, and Valencian as the minority language.
However, English is the leading language of instruction in this
international school context.
Many studies have been conducted within the framework of
language attitudes across ages. However, as far as we know, no
studies have accounted for young learners’ attitudes in an English
immersion context, such as international schools. Therefore, the
present study aims at filling in this research gap by analysing
children’s language attitudes in an English immersion school context.
The aims of this paper are twofold: in the first place, to analyse the
language attitudes towards the three languages under investigation
(Spanish, English and Valencian) of multilingual children attending an
English immersion school. And, in the second place, to investigate
the effect of age on language attitudes. The findings derived from
the present study confirm the impact of age on young learners’
language attitudes. However, the school context does not present a
determining role in young learners’ attitudes. [-]
