Abstract
The present study provides a test of the basic intergroup model of second-language acquisition where subjects were 67 members of the Spanish community in London. Dependent variables comprised measures of actual and self-reported second-language proficiency as well as measures of language use and opinions about language use. Independent variables comprised measures of ingroup identification and perceptions of intergroup relations. Analyses provided some support for the intergroup model, particularly the impact ofgroup identification and vitality on patterns of language use, although findings relating to certain other aspects of the model were rather mixed.
