<p class="gmail-v2-processed">As Shakespeare’s mother tongue spreads in
lecture halls across the country’s 14 universities, the Dutch education
department is finalising a proposal to deal with the matter.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Britain’s exit from the European Union next year
has only accelerated the phenomenon, with international students
flocking to the Netherlands which provides an ideal base for those
wishing to study in English within the EU.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Some 90 per cent of the Dutch population speaks English, to the envy of many of its less Anglo-competent neighbours.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">To add to the attraction, many local universities are much cheaper than their British or US-based counterparts.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">English usage is particularly dominant at Master’s degree level.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Some “65 per cent of bachelor’s degrees are in
Dutch while 15 per cent of master’s degrees are in Dutch,” education
ministry spokesman Michiel Hendrikx said.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed gmail-link"><a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/2148246/language-barrier-british-linguaphobia-has-deepened-brexit-vote">Language barrier: British ‘linguaphobia’ has deepened since Brexit vote, experts say</a></p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">That some 85 per cent of all master’s degrees
are presented in English riles the largest teachers’ association, whose
acronym BON stands for “Better Education Netherlands” in Dutch.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">“The Dutch language is gradually disappearing
from campuses,” lamented BON’s chairman Ad Verbrugge, stressing the
“seriousness” of an “unprecedented situation in Europe”.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Pressed by heated debate from campus to
parliament, the Dutch Education Ministry will soon publish a letter
“with the minister’s position on the subject,” Hendrikx said.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">This follows a report in February by the Royal
Dutch Academy for Arts and Sciences (KNAW), which blasted the
Netherlands for “failing to properly protect and uphold the quality of
Dutch as a language and overestimating the importance of English”.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">“Universities are forced to offer courses in
English to remain in the race” for international students in Europe,
said Verbrugge, a philosophy professor at the University of Amsterdam.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">“We are witnessing a ‘languicide’,” he said.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">“We always advocate diversity but here we’re killing a minority language.”</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">“We must preserve all European languages and cultures ... Dutch students no longer master their native tongue,” he added.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Verbrugge and BON have now launched a lawsuit
against two Dutch universities they accuse of killing the Dutch language
through the ‘anglicisation’ of courses.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">The eastern Twente University and the southern
University of Maastricht offer two master’s degree courses in psychology
exclusively in English.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">BON says the effects of such a language policy can even be seen in the labour market.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Young expatriates graduating in English at Dutch
universities are often tempted to remain in the Netherlands which has a
flourishing economy and pleasant living environment, thus taking jobs
from local graduates, it said.</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Verbrugge said BON was unsure whether the lawsuits would be successful “but at least we’ve raised the issue for discussion.”</p>
<p class="gmail-v2-processed">Many Dutch students agree, saying they did not
understand the value of “pretending to be English in front of a lecturer
who is just as equally Dutch.”</p>
