Abstract:

English is gaining ground in the Dutch educational system. Many
secondary schools in the Netherlands offer Dutch-English bilingual
programs and early foreign language teaching in primary schools is
becoming increasingly popular. This also goes for  bilingual childhood
education and care (henceforth: ECEC). This dissertation provides an
in-depth overview of Dutch-English bilingual ECEC in the Netherlands,
by addressing the following research questions: 1) what is the
sociolinguistic, educational and sociopolitical context in which
bilingual ECEC in the Netherlands transpired, 2) how is bilingual ECEC
implemented and carried out, and 3) what are the consequences of the
presence of two languages in bilingual ECEC for  the actual practice
and use of Dutch and English in one classroom, and for how Dutch and
English affect each other structurally?

The results of this dissertation show that there are links between the
context, underlying ideologies and the implementation and organization
of bilingual Dutch-English input. In addition, it reveals
discrepancies between the Dutch government’s underlying ideologies and
those of some of the daycare centers, and between the organization of
bilingual input on paper and in practice. The results of this
dissertation further indicate that the implementation of bilingual
ECEC in the Netherlands is not something that needs to be feared, as
time spent in bilingual ECEC on one language does not seem to come at
the expense of the other. Rather, the two languages take on different
roles in the classroom, and seem to find a way to work together and to
support one another.
