TITLE: Balance & Perspective: 25 Years of Dutch Applied
Linguistics.

YEAR PUBLISHED: 1990
JOURNAL: Toegepaste-Taalwetenschap-in-Artikelen-(Applied
Linguistics-in-Articles); n36 1990
NOTE: 102 p.; For individual articles, see FL 019 533-537.

ABSTRACT: Revised texts of five papers from a conference on
Dutch applied linguistics are presented. "Learning a
Foreign Language in a Natural Acquisition Context Without
Instruction" (Wolfgang Klein) advocates observing and
analyzing language learning in progress in natural language
learning contexts and presents data from a European project
on second language acquisition by adult immigrants.
"Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition" (Peter
Jordens) examines the relationships between linguistics and
second language learning. The discussion touches on
contrastive analysis as an explanatory model, then looks at
the interlanguage model and the possible relevance of
markedness theory, and gives attention to universal
grammar. In "Ethnic Minorities, Language Diversity, and
Educational Implications: A Case Study on the Netherlands"
(Guus Extra), cross-national trends in Western Europe,
especially ethnic minorities in the Netherlands are noted
and the consequences of language diversity in elementary,
secondary, and adult education are examined. "Three Decades
of Foreign Language Teaching in the Netherlands" (Arthur
van Essen) reviews developments in Dutch foreign language
teaching in the past few decades, drawing from experience
and existing literature. "Policy-Making in Foreign Language
Teaching" (Theo van Els) discusses the role applied
linguists may play in policy formation in foreign language
instruction, based on recent Dutch educational history.

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access to
the literature of education - descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the West Wing) at Michigan State University.To locate ERIC
documents in the library: identify the first line of each
record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED following
ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document, an
unpublished research study.
Most of these items are available in the Micrforms Library,
located on the 3rd floor of the West Wing. All you need is
the six digit ED number.
If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a journal
article. The complete journal name islisted after the code
JOURNAL.
To find the call number and location of a journal you may
use the printed JOURNALS INDEXED IN C.I.J.E. located at the
ERIC CD-ROM workstation and at the Cosial Sciences and
Humanities/GovernmentDocuments Reference Desk. You may also
type the journal name, without the dashes "-" , into a
