The sample analyzed is composed of students in their first academic year who are registered on the course of English as a foreign language in the Bachelor’s Degree of Tourism. Various questionnaires and tests were administered to these students, amongst them the following: 1) a test of aptitude for languages (PLAB 2003), 2) a test of level of English as foreign language (Oxford University Press & University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, 2001), and 3) the DPFBP questionnaire of personal data (Hewitt 2006).
