English Language Teaching Profile: Belgium (Dutch Speaking).
British Council, London (England). English-Teaching Information Centre.
This profile in outline form discusses the English language teaching situation in the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking areas of Belgium. The situation in the Dutch-speaking region, which includes Flanders and Brussels (the latter having both Dutch and French as official languages), is described in terms of the extent of English instruction available to elementary and secondary students and adults, curriculum, English for Special Purposes, the teaching cadre and teacher training, teaching materials, the teaching of English outside the educational system, and British support for the teaching of English. The post-primary educational system of Wallonia (the French-speaking region) is described, and the English program within this system is briefly discussed, including consideration of the teaching staff and use of audiovisual materials. The program at one particular high-school, Athene Royal Liege, is outlined. (CLK)
