European Survey on Language Competences ESLC SECONDARY RESEARCH

The Spanish edition of the “European survey on Language Competences, ESLC” has been organized in two volumes. The fi rst volume, written by the National Institute of Educational Evaluation, presents the main data from the international study and focuses on the Spanish data, comparing them to the data from the other participating countries and regions. In this second volume the National Institute of Educational Evaluation has coordinated the work done by four groups of researchers, specialized and interested in education, with the aim of using the conclusions drawn from these rigorous and detailed analyses to take decisions in the fi eld of education. Professors from diff erent Spanish Universities have had the chance to work with the database from the ESLC, and to focus on specifi c aspects which are highly relevant for linguistic competency in order to draw valuable conclusions by using robust statistical models.
