Abstract: | This present study examines the non-linguistic outcomes of second
language learners groups and the data for this study were collected from an
application of a tests battery – BAMA (motivational, affective and learning
aspects assessment), developed in PhD research context. Were found
differences between children and adolescents (305 Portuguese and 279
Catalan immigrant students), regarding motivation and attitudes in the second
language learning and psychosocial adaptation contexts, taking into account
their nationalities, mother tongues, age and gender. The children and female
Catalan present the most favourable means, as predictors in the languages
learning, what we can relate to previous research. In other hand, the
Portuguese sample presents a distinct other profile, which could be
compromising the language learning and psychosocial development. En la aplicación de la batería- BAMA (que evalúa motivación, factores afectivos y aprendizaje), en el contexto de investigación de doctorado, encontramos diferencias en la motivación y las actitudes hacia el aprendizaje de segundas lenguas y su adaptación psicosocial entre niños y adolescentes, 305 portugueses y 279 estudiantes catalanes de origen inmigrante. Las diferencias observadas están relacionadas con la nacionalidad, la lengua materna, la edad y el género. Los estudiantes más jóvenes y las chicas catalanas obtienen medias más favorables que predicen mejores resultados en el aprendizaje de lenguas, como en otros estudios. Los alumnos portugueses presentan el otro perfil que podría comprometer el aprendizaje de idiomas y el desarrollo psicosocial. |
