  • The European Union, its Institutions and its Languages

    T J M Van, T J M Van ElsARTICLECurrent Issues in Language Planning2001Cited by: 6References: 2

    The present 15 member states of the European Union have acknowledged 11 languages as the 'official and working-languages' for use within the organisation. In principle these languages are fully equal. The future expansion with new member states may bring the number of 'official and working-languages' to over 20. It is expected that institutional communication within the European Union – which is not without problems under the present circumstance…

  • Planning Foreign Language Teaching in a Small Country

    Open AccessTheo J M Van Els, T J M VanARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1994Cited by: 1References: 5

    Policymaking in the field of foreign language teaching has not been given much thought so far. Discussions of policy decisions, therefore, tend to be confused. In this article, a number of fundamental issues regarding planning foreign language teaching on a national level are dealt with. They relate to the levels at which policy decisions may be taken, but in particular to such issues as the role of needs; the choice of which languages to offer a…

  • Foreign language teaching policies and European unity

    Theo J M Van Els, T J M Van et al.ARTICLELanguage Culture and Curriculum1990

    In 1989 the Dutch Government commissioned the drawing up of a National Action Programme (NAP) on Foreign Languages in anticipation of the new demands of the European Single Market after 1992.

  • Towards a foreign language teaching policy for the European community

    Theo J M Van Els, T J M VanARTICLELanguage Culture and Curriculum1988References: 1

    The paper raises a number of issues concerning foreign language teaching (FLT) policy in the European Community, given its basic commitments to multilingualism, and its declaration (Jacoby, 1985) on FLT objectives in its member states. Among the issues discussed are the definition and weighting of FLT needs, including those which are not ‘pragmatic’ in any strong sense; the role of empirical research in FLT policy‐making, whether in determining n…

  • The history of the teaching of foreign languages in the low countries

    Theo J M Van Els, T J M Van et al.ARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1988Cited by: 2References: 14

    The history of foreign language teaching in the Low Countries has not received a great deal of attention so far. The Low Countries cannot be said to be exceptional in that respect. Very little study has been made of the many primary and secondary sources that have come down to us from the Renaissance. What we do know of the history of Dutch FLT, shows no fundamental differences with what is known about FLT developments elsewhere. That conclusion …
