This paper deals with the Dutch National Action Programme on Foreign Languages (NAP) as a case of nationwide management and implementation of policy-making. The aim of this programme is "to put a national policy on language education and foreign-language use in a coherent framework" (Tuin and Westhoff, 1997, p.22). This programme is related to the question of how to tackle the problem of continuity during the various stages of foreign language education in school and society in general, which has been in the subject of much criticism in the Netherlands. Japan also has this problem and the government has taken some measures for the improvement of foreign language teaching (FLT) as a whole, but these measures are likely to have only a limited impact on the fundamental reform of FLT in Japan because the proposals do not include the basic research data actually used for making proposals and the procedure of implementing the proposals. The Dutch approach, on the other hand, is extremely purpose-focused and rational, and this approach would give an insight to Japanese leaders on the management of nationwide FLT reform.
