“…This last eventually became a reality at EU level with the creation of the Schengen area. 30 The Schengen Area, according to the website of the European 29 And so many EU Member States pursue ever more exclusionary, ever more punitive language policies: see Spotti (2011) for a discussion of recent developments in the Netherlands; Milani (2007) for a report from Sweden; Weber and Horner (2010) for an ethnography of 'Orwellian doublethink' in Luxembourgish schools; Stotz (2006) for a discussion of Sprachenstreit ('language strife') in Switzerland; and see Hogan-Brun et al (2009) Commission's Directorate General for Home Affairs, is "one of the greatest achievements of the EU. It is an area without internal borders, an area within which citizens, many non-EU nationals, business people and tourists can freely circulate without being subjected to border checks."…”

“…We also examine the language subjects German, English, and French, in order to see how motivation develops across languages that differ in their regional and contemporary relevance. While knowing more than one language is believed to be part of the Swiss national identity (Giudici & Grizelj, 2017;Stotz, 2006), the emerging role of English as a global language might interfere with students' motivation to learn other national languages. Regarding the stability of profiles over the three years, some prior evidence indicates more stability for extrinsic forms of motivation over time (Gillet et al, 2017;Lazarides et al, 2020), however, since we consider several academic domains simultaneously, we leave this an open question.…”

“…Il est intéressant de souligner qu'aujourd'hui, cette possibilité ne fait pas réellement débat et que la plupart des francophones ignorent qu'une telle liberté de choix est inexistante en Flandre. Par contraste, la décision prise par certains cantons en Suisse alémanique de commencer l'enseignement de l'anglais avant celui du français a suscité un vif débat et a été perçue comme un geste menaçant la cohésion de la confédération helvétique et risquant de créer des blocs linguistiques étanches et incapables de communiquer 6 (Stotz 2006). En Wallonie, loin de poser problème, cette liberté dans le choix des langues "étrangères" est largement exploitée : le néerlandais et l'anglais sont ainsi étudiés par un nombre d'élèves équivalents (Poulain 2006 : 73).…”

“…Ainsi, entre 2004 et 2006, le nombre d'écoles de l'enseignement primaire proposant un programme d'immersion a presque doublé, en Wallonie (de 47 à 92) comme à Bruxelles (de 4 à 7), cette croissance se 6. Il est intéressant de noter que certains observateurs suisses décrivent ce risque en parlant de « belgification » (Belgisierung) de la Suisse (Stotz 2006). 7.…”
