“…This can be seen especially in the classroom. In Galicia, where this research was conducted, and in the broader Spanish and European contexts, changes in economic structures, coupled with numerous migration waves during the 20th and 21st centuries have led to increasingly linguistically diverse classrooms (Corona et al, 2012;Etxeberrias & Elosegi, 2008;Gkaintartzi & Tsokalidou, 2011;Gkaintartzi et al, 2014;Pulinx et al, 2015;Van Der Wildt et al, 2015).
