Abstract
This paper discusses the state of affairs of dialect education in the southern Dutch province of North Brabant. The dialects spoken here lack formal recognition. Therefore, the province pursues a heritage policy that protects and promotes the dialects as cultural capital. However, a recent questionnaire among teachers and material developers has revealed that local and provincial initiatives for dialect education have not yet been implemented in a sustainable way in primary and secondary education (Doreleijers, 2021). Although teachers indicate willingness to implement dialect in education, there is a lack of knowledge of existing materials and a discrepancy between demand and the quality of supply. The aim of this paper is to look for ways to implement non-recognized dialects in the curriculum. It argues that the current situation in North Brabant can be improved by integrating dialects into the holistic model for multilingualism in education (Duarte & Günther-van der Meij, 2018).
本文讨论了荷兰南部北布拉班特省方言教育的现状。这里说的方言没有得到正式承认。因此,该省奉行保护和促进方言作为文化之都的遗产政策。然而,最近一份针对教师和材料开发人员的问卷调查显示,地方和省级方言教育举措尚未在中小学教育中以可持续的方式实施(Doreleijers,2021)。尽管教师表示愿意在教育中使用方言,但对现有材料缺乏了解,需求和供应质量之间存在差异。本文的目的是寻找在课程中实施非公认方言的方法。它认为,北布拉班特的现状可以通过将方言纳入多语教育的整体模式来改善(Duarte&Günther van der Meij,2018)。
期刊介绍:
The Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics (DuJAL) focuses on promoting Dutch and Belgian work in applied linguistics among an international audience, but also welcomes contributions from other countries. It caters for both the academic society in the field and for language and communication experts working in other contexts, such as institutions involved in language policy, teacher training, curriculum development, assessment, and educational and communication consultancy. DuJAL is the digital continuation of Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen, which had been the journal of Anéla, the Dutch Association of Applied Linguistics, for forty years. Like its predecessor, DuJAL wants to offer a platform to young researchers in applied linguistics, i.e. PhD candidates and MA students. In order to maintain a high standard all submissions are subjected to a ‘double blind’ review by at least one external reviewer and two of the editors. Contributions may be written in Dutch, English, German or French.
