Abstract

As in other countries, bilingual/multilingual education has become widespread in Spain. However, research either focuses on Spanish programs’ implementation, students’ performance or teacher training, but not on their contribution to graduates’ self-perceived linguistic success (understood as a combination of intercultural competence, international mobility and employability). Therefore, this paper studies whether Spanish bilingual education results in higher self-perceived competences. An instrument examining these three elements is applied, and Facebook Audience Insights is used for sample targeting. Findings prove that Spanish bilingual education graduates have higher self-perceived intercultural competence and international mobility. In terms of gender, women who have participated in Spanish bilingual education show higher self-perceived intercultural competence, whereas men who have studied in these programs consider themselves more interculturally competent and mobile. Conversely, there is no evidence of more positive self-perceived employability than in monolingual education. All in all, participation in a Spanish bilingual program is demonstrated to be an influential factor in self-perceived global linguistic success, employability, and intercultural competence.

参与双语教育计划是语言成功的关键因素:西班牙案例

摘要

与其他国家一样,双语/多语教育在西班牙已经普及。然而,研究要么侧重于西班牙课程的实施、学生的表现或教师培训,而不是他们对毕业生自我认知语言成功的贡献(理解为跨文化能力、国际流动性和就业能力的结合)。因此,本文研究西班牙双语教育是否会导致更高的自我感知能力。应用检查这三个元素的工具,并使用 Facebook Audience Insights 进行样本定位。研究结果证明,西班牙双语教育毕业生具有更高的自我感知跨文化能力和国际流动性。从性别来看,参加过西班牙双语教育的女性表现出更高的自我感知跨文化能力,而参加过这些课程的男性则认为自己更具跨文化能力和流动性。相反,没有证据表明比单语教育更积极的自我认知就业能力。总而言之,参加西班牙语双语课程被证明是影响自我认知的全球语言成功、就业能力和跨文化能力的一个影响因素。
