Abstract
In this article, I will discuss the Flemish language policy.After a short description of the position of Flanders in a globalised world (1), I will comment on some concrete challenges for the Flemish educational system (2), such as the integration of non-Dutch-speaking students (2.1). Furthermore, I will dwell on the ways the Flemish community prepares its youngsters to life in a globalised society, referring to European criteria (mother-tongue plus two) and tools (Common European Framework of Reference, Erasmus exchanges) (2.2). Finally, I will discuss the role of foreign language promotion institutions in the Flemish educational area (2.3).
