ABSTRACT

This research aims to examine Spanish-speaking students’ attainment to improve our knowledge about students at the end of secondary school in England. The sample consisted of students who completed the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) in inner London Local Authority. The findings of the analysis of GCSE results by language spoken at home suggest that, overall, students who speak Spanish language do less well than other groups, and their low attainment is a key concern for policymakers and teachers. However, while this is true overall, there were wide differences in performance when broken down into European speakers and Latin American speakers. The empirical evidence suggest that European Spanish speakers do better that Latin American Spanish speakers. A number of factors were identified in the underachievement of Spanish students, including the language barrier, poverty, and pupil mobility rate. Policy implications for data collection and further research are discussed in the final section.

英国中学西班牙语学生的成绩

摘要

这项研究旨在调查西班牙语学生的学习成绩,以提高我们对英格兰中学毕业学生的了解。样本由在伦敦市中心地方政府完成普通中等教育证书 (GCSE) 的学生组成。按在家使用的语言对 GCSE 成绩进行分析的结果表明,总体而言,说西班牙语的学生的成绩不如其他群体,而且他们的低成绩是政策制定者和教师关注的一个主要问题。然而,虽然总体而言确实如此,但细分为欧洲使用者和拉丁美洲使用者时,性能存在很大差异。经验证据表明,欧洲西班牙语使用者比拉丁美洲西班牙语使用者表现更好。西班牙学生成绩不佳的原因有很多,包括语言障碍、贫困和学生流动率。最后一节讨论了数据收集和进一步研究的政策影响。
