The country at a glance I Guide to doing business in Belgium I 2014 P 3 www.liedekerke.com Despite this “federalization” process, the country has remained a parliamentary monarchy ever since its foundation in 1830. The reigning monarch is King Philippe I. The country’s capital city, Brussels, is also home to prominent international decision-making centers and institutions such as the European Commission, the European Parliament and NATO headquarters. Due to its history as one of the world’s leading actors in the heavy coal and steel industry, Belgium was very soon (1835) able to develop a dense, nationwide communications network comprising both railroads and roads, as well as fluvial and maritime ports. Due to its central position in Western Europe, road transportation in Belgium is highly developed. International naval and fluvial transportation is also important, the best example being the port of Antwerp, accessible to capesize ships. The port of Antwerp is the second-largest port in Europe. The number of significant Belgian airports may seem limited. However, given Belgium’s fairly small size, the nearest airport is never very far away. The most important are Brussels international airport, Charleroi international airport and Liège airport. The part played by heavy industry in the Belgian economy has declined over time. At present, Belgium’s GDP is principally accounted for by the services industry. However, the main traditional heavy industry sectors (steel, automotive, chemistry, refining, textiles, etc.) are still present in Belgium, despite their lesser importance. The Belgian workforce is considered highly skilled and productive. Traditionally, the Belgian authorities have a fairly high involvement in the economy (banking, energy, heavy industry, etc.). However, under pressure from Europe’s regulators, the energy market (gas, electricity) has recently been partly privatized. In short, the commercial aspect of energy supplies has been privatized, whilst grid management remains a national and local monopoly.

  • Partitive Article
    Book Disentangling bare nouns and nominals introduced by a partitive article IHSANE, Tabea (Ed.) Abstract The volume Disentangling Bare Nouns and Nominals Introduced by a Partitive Article, edited by Tabea Ihsane, focuses on different aspects of the distribution, semantics, and internal structure of nominal constituents with a “partitive article” in its indefinite interpretation and of potentially corresponding bare nouns. It further deals with diachronic issues, such as grammaticalization and evolution in the use of “partitive articles”. The outcome is a snapshot of current research into “partitive articles” and the way they relate to bare nouns, in a cross-linguistic perspective and on new data: the research covers noteworthy data (fieldwork data and corpora) from Standard languages - like French and Italian, but also German - to dialectal and regional varieties, including endangered ones like Francoprovençal.

  • 'Talk Your Way out of Belgium!'
    Master Thesis in International Business Strategy ‘Talk your way out of Belgium!’ A study on multilingualism in Belgium and its impact on an SME’s internationalisation Authors: Alena Kalb & Marijn Maas Supervisor: Richard Owusu Examiner: Per Servais Date: 23rd of May Academic term: Spring 2018 Subject: Business Administration with specialization in International Business Strategy, Degree Project Level: Master Course code: 4FE81E Abstract This thesis aims to connect the fields of multilingualism and internationalisation by studying language strategies of SMEs located in Belgium. Thereby the access to foreign networks in relation to internationalisation theories and the role of language capabilities and multilingualism is examined. This combination of different academic fields in international business and linguistics has previously not been studied satisfyingly and this research thus furthermore provides theoretical and managerial implications in this matter. Hence, this study addresses the briefly presented knowledge gap by answering the research question: What effect does the multilingualism in Belgium have on an SME’s internationalisation? The two following sub-research questions have been raised additionally to ensure the ability to answer the main research question: 1. What is the impact of the multilingualism in Belgium on an SME’s liability of foreignness when going international? 2. How does a language strategy support an SME’s internationalisation process and create a multilingual capability? Empirical data is collected both qualitatively by interviewing three Belgian SMEs and quantitatively by analysing secondary data of 30 Belgian company websites and their vacancy job postings, to provide answers to these questions. The findings are analysed by applying a conceptual framework, which was created by the authors.

  • Comparative Review of the Foreign Language Learning History of a Japanese and a Flemish-Dutch Native Speaker
    Comparative Review of the Foreign Language Learning History of a Japanese and a Flemish-Dutch native Speaker Masako Nishikawa-Van Eester, Nishogakusha University, Japan The Asian Conference on Language 2020 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract How we learn a foreign (second, third, fourth, …) language contains diverse approaches. It depends on, to the great extent, each learner’s personal background and aptitude such as the starting age, native language, motivation, goal(s), learning context, and life history. It is also dynamic, in the process of learning the target language, in a sense that 1) those previously mentioned factors can change longitudinally and 2) those factors are influenced by the community, society, culture and historical/geographical condition which the learner is originally attached to. What is reported in this qualitative research project is a twofold case study of two foreign language learners, one is a Japanese from Kobe, and the other is a Belgian from Flanders (the Dutch-speaking region). The former thus is a Japanese native speaker who also uses English and Dutch for her work and academic activities (together with her some knowledge of German, French and Afrikaans), and the latter is a Dutch native speaker who uses mainly Dutch, English and Japanese in business (with his background of learning Latin, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese). Through the observation and comparison of those two language learners – juxtaposing their similarities and contrasting the differences – we discover several pedagogical insights in language learning activities, which might be of help for those who struggle to learn foreign languages (specifically English as the first foreign language) in Japan.

  • University Entrance Language Tests: a Matter of Justice
    LTJ0010.1177/0265532217706196Language TestingDeygers et al. 706196research-article2017 CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography /$1*8$*( Article 7(67,1* Language Testing 1 –28 University entrance language © The Author(s) 2017 Reprints and permissions: tests: A matter of justice sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/0265532217706196DOI: 10.1177/0265532217706196 journals.sagepub.com/home/ltj Bart Deygers KU Leuven, Belgium Kris Van den Branden KU Leuven, Belgium Koen Van Gorp Michigan State University, USA Abstract University entrance language tests are often administered under the assumption that even if language proficiency does not determine academic success, a certain proficiency level is still required. Nevertheless, little research has focused on how well L2 students cope with the linguistic demands of their studies in the first months after passing an entrance test. Even fewer studies have taken a longitudinal perspective. Set in Flanders, Belgium, this study examines the opinions and experiences of 24 university staff members and 31 international L2 students, of whom 20 were tracked longitudinally. Attention is also given to test/retest results, academic score sheets, and class recordings. To investigate the validity of inferences made on the basis of L2 students’ scores, Kane’s (2013) Interpretation/ Use Argument approach is adopted, and principles from political philosophy are applied to investigate whether a policy that discriminates among students based on language test results can be considered just. It is concluded that the receptive language requirements of university studies exceed the expected B2 level and that the Flemish entrance tests include language tasks that are of little importance for first-year students.

  • Population: Demographic Situation, Languages and Religions
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Demographic Situation Population On 1 January 2019 there were 77,527 people living in the German-speaking Community (2005: 72,512; 2010: 75,222). These inhabitants account for 0.7% of the total population of Belgium. At the same time, Belgium had 11,430,460 inhabitants (2005: 10,445,852; 2010: 10,839,905), of whom 1,208,542 (10.6%) lived in the bilingual Brussels-Capital Region, 6,589,069 (57.6%) in the Flemish Region and 3,633,795 (31.8%) in the Walloon Region. Thus, 2.1% of the inhabitants of the German- speaking area make up the population of the Walloon Region. The small size of the German-speaking Community is also noticeable: 846.1 km² represent 2.8% of Belgium (30,688.1 km²) or 5% of the Walloon Region (16,901.4 km²). The population density is obtained by combining the population figures with the total area. This shows the rural character of the German-speaking area: with a population density of 91 inhabitants per km², the German-speaking Community is well below that of the Walloon Region (216 inhabitants/km²), the Flemish Region (487 inhabitants/km²), the Brussels-Capital Region (7,489 inhabitants/km²) and thus also the population density of Belgium (374 inhabitants/km²). On 1 January 2019, the German-speaking Community had 16,341 foreigners, which is 21.1% of the population and well above the national average of 12.2%. This is due to the location of the German- speaking Community in a border area: the most represented foreign nationalities in the German- speaking area are Germany (14.5%) and the Netherlands (0.8%).
