Book Description
This volume provides the first comprehensive investigation of the Netherlands in the World Englishes paradigm. It explores the history of English contact, the present spread of English and attitudes towards English in the Netherlands. It describes the development and analysis of the Corpus of Dutch English, the first Expanding Circle corpus based on the design of the International Corpus of English. In addition, it investigates the applicability of Schneider’s (2003, 2007) Dynamic Model, concluding that this and other such models need to move away from a colonisation-driven approach and towards a globalisation-driven one to explain the continued spread and evolution of English today. The volume will be highly relevant to researchers interested in the status and use of English in the Netherlands. More broadly, it provides a timely contribution to the debate on the relevance of the World Englishes framework for non-native, non-postcolonial settings such as Continental Europe.

Pronunciation Matters
Author: Rias van den Doel
Publisher: Vu University Press
ISBN: 9789086596812
Category : English language
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Pronunciation raises many questions. Since learners of English are exposed to a bewildering variety of native and nonnative Englishes, they are challenged to reflect on the importance of accent both in their own English and in that of others. New developments in teaching and the introduction of common European standards have also prompted teachers to incorporate pronunciation training into their curricula. In this collection, contributors discuss the most recent research on pronunciation issues to provide insight into matters of teaching, testing, and the wider communicative context, ranging from business English as a Lingua Franca to English communication between the Dutch and the Chinese."
