Abstract

The current changes in the linguistic sphere due to international migrations are reflected in a particularly clear way in educational establishments. This article presents the diverse linguistic learning experiences of Catalan students of immigrant origin in two secondary schools with different reception ideologies and in different socio-spatial contexts: a small coastal town in the metropolitan region of Barcelona, and a central neighbourhood of the city of Barcelona that is representative of the super-diversity model (Vertoveç, 2007). Contrasting the communicative practices of the students and the attitudes towards the linguistic diversity of the teachers in these two different environments shows the richness of the communicative practices of these students. Besides, it allows us to better understand if schools continue to reproduce cultural hierarchies despite more or less inclusive discourses, or if, on the contrary, there are processes of change that can allow the incorporation of the linguistic capital of all the students.
