To teach or not to teach the ‘language of the Other’ in Belgium? A diachronic answer from policy, parliament and practice
Which modern languages do policymakers introduce into school curricula, and with what priority? Drawing on a current issue in Belgian language teaching politics, this study addresses a question that remains underexplored in language policy literature, where the teaching of modern languages is still rarely given center stage in analyses of nation-building and power relations between groups in contact or conflict. Adopting a diachronic perspective …
A longitudinal test of the impact of CLIL on language emotions and learning motivation
Does CLIL shape language attitudes and motivation? Interactions with target languages and instruction levels
Besides being promoted as a way to improve target language proficiency, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is also believed to positively impact socio-affective variables such as language attitudes and motivation. Yet, few extensive empirical studies exist on these aspects in CLIL. The present contribution aims to address this gap in the literature by investigating language attitudes and motivation in CLIL on a large scale across two…

CLIL, an elitist language learning approach? A background analysis of English and Dutch CLIL pupils in French-speaking Belgium
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) programmes are increasingly popular throughout Europe, but are sometimes accused of inducing a selection bias in the pupil population, both through selection mechanisms of the schools themselves and self-selection of the pupils (and/or their parents). As a result, the outcomes of the CLIL approach may be artificially promoted, and, at the same time, such a selection bias can contribute to an elitist…
Multilingualism at all Costs
Les relations entre communautés linguistiques en contexte scolaire et communautaire
L’objectif de cet article est de présenter et de comparer le rôle des milieux communautaires et scolaires dans les rapports entre communautés linguistiques historiques de Montréal et de Bruxelles. Même si ces deux contextes linguistiques sont différents à bien des égards, ils partagent deux caractéristiques qui laissent croire que l’une et l’autre des communautés puissent apprendre de l’expérience qu’elles ont développée en parallèle, soit : un c…
