Popis: This paper is part of the R&
D project DIPURE (El Discurso Pú
blico sobre los Refugiados en Españ
a in English Public Discourse on Refugees in Spain) and it is one of the research lines of the research group &ldquo
Andalusian Circle of Applied Linguistics, HUM-194&rdquo
on the study of teaching Spanish as a second language (SSL) for immigrants and refugees. Its objective is to establish a profile of Spanish second language (SL) students at the Official School of Languages (OSL). To meet this objective, we carried out an exploratory study based on mixed quantitative&ndash
qualitative methods, including, among other methods, participant observation and a Likert-type questionnaire used with students of the OSL in Granada, from level A1 to B2. The data obtained has allowed us to reflect on the migration process in Spain and on the work in the classrooms of a public center with students who study Spanish as a second language&mdash
their learning beliefs, needs, and attitudes, as well as didactic preferences. The information obtained is envisaged to improve the teaching practice of Spanish as a host language in a public educational context.
