| Abstract: |
This profile in outline form of the English language teaching situation in the Netherlands discusses the role of English within Dutch society and within the Dutch educational system. The predominance of English as the main foreign language is pointed out, and its use as medium of instruction at the primary, secondary, university and vocational levels is examined. The make-up of the teaching cadre at all levels is also dealt with, as well as teaching materials, English outside the educational system, and British support for English instruction. A list of documents useful for further reference is provided. A supplementary outline of the current status of literary education and of the literary scene in general accompanies the profile. (CLK) |
