In our current globalised and multilingual society, people often migrate to other countries and face
the handicap of learning a different language other than their mother tongue. This is the situation for
many families in bilingual regions such as Catalonia and the Valencian region, in which newcomers
not only have to learn a majority language (Spanish) and a minority language (Catalan), but also the
lingua franca (English) at school. In order to appreciate the three languages of the study, learners
should be given the possibility of being in contact with them in different domains such as the
educational context of school, local businesses and official institutions as well as in informal
contexts such as the family home, social relationships and the use of media. Not only should they
learn their linguistic code but also its culture so as to develop positive linguistic attitudes. This
study tries to analyse the relation of language use in formal and informal contexts with linguistic
attitudes of migrant primary school students towards the three languages of instruction at school and
also the effect of age and origin. The results showed that all participants are aware of the
importance of languages although 41.18% held negative attitudes towards English considering it a
difficult language. Only 17.65% showed negative attitudes towards Catalan and 11.76% towards
Spanish. All participants claimed to have contact with the three languages in the formal context of
school. Contact with the minority language in the informal context of family home and friends in
the street was expressed by far more participants than with the majority language. On the contrary,
minor contact with English in the home context was shown although a great presence of this
language in the media with 70% of participants who claimed to have contact in that domain. [-]
