Language and culture teaching in primary schools in Spain, Italy and France has greatly evolved during the last ten years. As an example, we can note that in Spain (Catalonia) the autonomy process allowed the emergence of varied bilingual education systems on a macro-social level with the intervention of the usual pedagogical means as well as audiovisual media and new technologies. In France, the evolution of some regional languages (Breton, Basque, Catalan, Occitan . . .), of languages and cultures of migrant populations (Arab, Portugese . . .), but also of dominant foreign languages in the educational system brings about new problems in centralised national education. That could lead to many changes in language policy outlook. In Italy, an important step seems to have been taken with the passing of the bill on one compulsory foreign language in all primary schools (age 7 or 8) from 1989 on. The purpose of this paper is to present and analyse those changes in their own context. Furthermore, the paper deals with the scientific and pedagogical implications of those early bilingual education developments. Finally, some prospects are presented on the short-term possible evolution in this particular field of education in France and Southern Europe.
