Resumen
In this chapter, we shall review some forgotten issues in the learning of second languages by immigrant students. The different educational administrations of the countries taking in these pupils have tried to solve this need, mainly through the creation of host classrooms for learning of
the vehicular language. However, this resource has not always provided the results expected or desired by the educational or scientific community. Our aim is to carry out a review of those aspects that influence the success of language learning and which should logically be present when considering these educational processes. Many of these issues are well known and have been highlighted for years as influential variables in the success of language learning by the specialist literature: the contributions of bilingual programmes, the role of mother tongue in the learning of other languages, the methodology applied, teacher training in this area, second language curriculum design, or some important documents for schools. Although previous research in the area shows us that there is no single formula for learning the host language and a variety of formulas is
always preferable to the single model, it seems clear that these aspects should and must be present when designing the educational measures to
ensure the language learning of these pupils. There is therefore a pressing need for reflection on these issues by the countries that receive these new students, as it is the first challenge they will have to face in order to access the school curriculum, school integration and, ultimately, social
participation.
