Abstract
One of the issues that is currently gaining wide social importance is the increase in violence and truancy among Spanish adolescents. This situation greatly hampers the work of teachers, increasing conflicts between staff and students. The academic performance of these youngsters is weakened to the point of dropout. Identifying the maximum number of variables involved in academic failure and the social development of adolescents, as well as their causes, should be a current research priority. Such research would help to optimize educational conditions by implementing prevention programs and intervention strategies with all the actors involved in the learning process. In the last few years, numerous investigations have analyzed language and behavioral skills. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive and integrated view about the current state of the relationship between these two variables and their role in academic failure and social development in adolescents, as well as to indicate future research lines in the field of education.
