“…Moreover, considering the two official languages of the Valencian Community, these do not seem to play a role in writing in English as an additional language. In addition, the present study shows differences in relation to the three languages of the Valencian community, supporting previous studies conducted by Nightingale (2012), Portolés (2014) and Guzmán-Alcón (2019). In particular, our findings indicate that, although language attitude does not necessarily correlate with L3 writing performance, participants acknowledge the prestige of English as a lingua franca, the prestige of Spanish as a majority language and the lack of prestige of Catalan as a minority language.…”

This finding is confirmed by looking at some of the comments participants made during the semi-structured interviews when participants were asked "what language do you like the most, Catalan, Spanish or English?…”

“…Research has examined both students' attitudes (Nightingale 2016;Safont & Portolés, 2015) and teachers' attitudes (Safont, 2007;Portolés, 2014;Guzmán-Alcón, 2019) in multilingual contexts. In line with previous investigations, the present study examines the role of the language model and teachers' mother tongue on teachers' attitudes in the sociolinguistic context of the Valencian Community.…”
