The instrument was used to collect data from teachers and school administrators as part of a broader project on border sociolinguistics and multilingual education.

The interview guide explores participants’ perceptions and practices regarding the linguistic environment of schools, language hierarchies, language policies at school and classroom level, educational objectives, teacher collaboration, and material and human resources devoted to language learning. Specific prompts are adapted to the role of the participant (teacher or administrator).

The dataset consists of:

Guió d’entrevista semiestructurada (Catalan version)
Guide d’entretien semi-directif (French version)

The two versions are functionally equivalent and were used according to the linguistic preferences of participants. The instrument was developed within the framework of the research project "Sociolinguistics of Borders" and employed during fieldwork conducted in Andorra in 2023.
