This article shows the results of a partial analysis of a dataset recently collected to identify the profile of migrants and refugees (hereinafter MRs) in Spain. The data analysed include: (a) those associated to NGOs and associations that work with these people in the Autonomous Region of Madrid; and (b) some of the answers to a questionnaire filled in by some officials and/or managers in these associations for this target group. These answers of the questionnaire allowed assessing the identifying and sociolinguistic profile of MRs in our country. This study is supplemented by another one presented also in this volume, and their joint, final aim has been to carry out a linguistic training needs analysis of the MRs in Spain, with a view to the possible development of some massive open online courses (or MOOCs) for a fairly adapted learning of Spanish and/or other highly demanded languages (e.g., English or French) that meets their needs.
