“…Hence, while in Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country, Navarra and Galicia the local languages have been awarded with the co-official status, this is not the case in Asturias or Aragon, where the regional languages are protected but not recognized as co-official. This has had obvious implications as regards the development of uneven sociolinguistic situations from the point of view of the vitality of the language, its social presence, the role it plays in the educational system as well as the language attitudes of the population (González-Riaño, Fernández-Costales & Hevia, 2013;Huget, 2007Huget, among others). 2008Huget, , 2009Huget, , 2013.…”

The effect of the generational cohort on language attitudes has hardly ever been studied. However, especially in the bilingual territories in Spain, literature stresses the importance of being Spanish-speakers or non-Spanish-speakers in the construction of these attitudes. Focusing on the case of Catalonia (Spain), this paper is intended to analyze the impact of the family language and the generational cohort on the language attitudes towards Catalan and Spanish that is built by immigrant children (aged 14-16). The nature of the analysis carried out as a result of an attitude questionnaire answered by 527 young people, allows differentiating the effect of both variables individually when included in the same explanatory model. Results indicate that being Spanish-speaking or non-Spanishspeaking is influential in the construction of attitudes towards Spanish and towards Catalan. Moreover, the generational cohort is only influential for attitudes towards Catalan and when a migratory transit has been experienced or not. Since both variables are included in the same model, it is suggested that the effect of the generational cohort is moderated by being Spanish-speaking or not. The new perspectives opened up by these results are discussed as regards the promotion of intercultural communication and a common project of coexistence.The effect of the generational cohort on language attitudes has hardly ever been studied.

“…It is the motivation of the teachers to learn the English, in view of [5], can induce the nature of language attitude. In addition, pondering subsequent scholarship postulates that media could affect and penetrate people's mind [20]; [21]; and [22] and attitude [23] and [24], along with present an empirical ground shows that area of living influences language attitude (see [25]), this study thus posits that the role of media and region where the teachers are living causes this no difference language attitude in term of gender.…”

Language attitude study has proved vital to unveil the acceptance of indigenous people towards foreign language (FL). Unfortunately, empirical grounds exist to show that limited attentions scrutinize the FL attitude of Indonesian English teachers towards the English language. Ergo there has been a lack of knowledge on the extent to which Indonesian English teachers perceive their language of expertise. Hence, this overarching goal of this study is to address this emerging gap. This study was to investigate language attitude of Indonesian English teachers towards the English language and the difference between male and female teachers' language attitude. The participants were 82 Indonesian English teachers from the Special Region of Yogyakarta province, Indonesia who consisted of 41 males and 41 females. A questionnaire on English language attitude was used as an instrument to collect the data. The data analysis was the descriptive statistics and t-test. This study revealed that the language attitude of Indonesian English teachers towards the English language was very favorable. In other words, Indonesian English teachers had positive acceptance towards their language of expertise. Importantly, this study extended our knowledge that there was no significant difference on English language attitude between male and female Indonesian English teachers. This indicated that gender was not always become a factor that could differentiate or determine the state of individual's language attitude. It was a motivation to learn target language and the influence of printed and electronic media and region of living might affect this state of very favorable English language attitude of Indonesian English teachers.

Limón, provincia de Costa Rica, presenta una inusual situación lingüística que ha sido abordada desde diferentes perspectivas. Los estudios sobre inglés limonense se encuentran dentro de los paradigmas de criollos ingleses, lingüística general, y antropología y sociología. Aunque no es única, la situación lingüística de Limón presenta retos para el diseño de investigación y para la recolección de datos debido a que dicha situación se caracteriza por la presencia de varias lenguas que cohabitan en la misma área. Este estudio investiga las actitudes hacia dos variedades de inglés habladas en Limón. Se enmarca en el paradigma de Ingleses del Mundo (WE, por sus siglas en inglés) y utiliza un método mixto para la cuantificación de la calidad. Los datos provienen de cuestionarios cuantitativos y cualitativos de 109 participantes con una variedad de contacto con el inglés. Los resultados muestran que el inglés de Limón se mueve del estatus de lengua olvidada o de uso limitado hacia uno de lenguaje cuyo uso puede beneficiar a la comunidad cultural y económicamente.
