Description
Summary:The “Consejería de Educación” in Cantabria has developed several projects in the schools considering the progressive importance that multilingualism education has taken in society. However, these policies with the goal of using L2 are often very different that what children are doing at the moment in their own mother tongue.In this paper, we array a quantitative analysis about the situation of school libraries and the books in English that are held at those centers that belong to the Bilingual Education Plan. We take into consideration various surveys to teachers, the people that design the plan, students and parents. This study lets us see the precarious nature of reading in this project and reflects the need we have in Cantabria to combine the efforts of L1 and L2 in order to improve reading and literary competence in both languages for our children.
