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 needs or in measuring provision and achievement; the problem of international comparison of educational systems with regard to FLT performance; the question of compulsion versus choice; the phenomenon of language loss; and the relation between FLT during formal schooling and FLT in adult and continuing education
