El articulo que se ofrece a continuacion describe un proyecto nacional de investigacion I+D (investigacion y desarrollo) ideado por, y otorgado a, la presente responsable la primera autora, en la Universidad de Granada. El proyecto abarca un tema totalmente original y muy relevante actualmente –la educacion bilingue– y en concreto el seguimiento en el ambito universitario de los alumnos provenientes del sistema bilingue comenzado en los ultimos anos dentro de la educacion secundaria en Espana. Sin embargo, dicho sistema bilingue no se ha sometido con estos alumnos en la universidad a un analisis sistematico todavia, ni a un control para ver los progresos alcanzados despues de un gasto de fondos publicos considerables por toda Espana. El nivel de partida debe ser, como minimo, el nivel B2 para idiomas de las directrices europeas que se encuentra en el Common European Framework for Languages (2003). Las escuelas de secundaria, ya han iniciado el aprendizaje bilingue hace tiempo, e incluso estamos viendo salir alumnos de las primeras promociones de este sistema. Han llegado incluso a la universidad, pero la universidad no ha iniciado investigaciones todavia sobre la eficacia ni el mantenimiento del dicho bilinguismo de sus alumnos provenientes del sistema bilingue de secundaria. A continuacion se describe este ultimo ya que es lo que se esta llevando a cabo en el presente proyecto y lo que se va a detallar aqui. ABSTRACT This article describes a national research R+D project (research and development) devised by and awarded the first author – its current director at the University of Granada –. This project encompasses a very original and very relevant topic currently – that of bilingual education – and specifically a follow-up in the university area of those students coming from the Spanish secondary-education bilingual system. The said secondary bilingual education is a fairly recent initiative throughout Spain begun in recent years. The said bilingual system, however, has not yet been submitted to a systematic analysis with these university students. Nor has the progress been tracked of the aforementioned students even after the expenditure of considerable public funding all over Spain. All university students may need more practical and more bilingual contexts as the level of departure must at least be level B2 for languages found in the Common European Framework for Languages (2003). We propose the tracking and evaluation of students coming into higher education from bilingual secondary schools. The idea of the project is to assess and subsequently keep track of all of these students, plus their level of bilingualism or lack of it. Many Spanish secondary schools began a bilingual system of learning a while ago, and we are even seeing the first of these pupils leaving the system and arriving at university. However, research into their efficiency at university level has still not begun, nor has any special maintenance of their level of bilingualism. This tracking is what we propose to carry out in the current research project, and describe in the present article. |
