Subject: LL-L Resources

In the period 1815-1830 Belgium and the Netherlands were united and King
William tried to get Dutch advanced as national language.

A recent study analysed thorougly the *teaching of Dutch in Walloon
schools*in that period:

Guy Janssens en Kris Steyaert
*Het onderwijs van het Nederlands in de Waalse provincies en Luxemburg onder
koning Willem I (1814-1830)*
*2008*, Brussel, Uitgeverij VUBPress (www.vubpress.be)
Onbekend Taalverleden, Nr. 1
ISBN 978-90-5487-456-0, 463 pp. 29.95 euro

I think especially interesting are
chapter 4 (pp 213-307) dealing with the teaching of grammar
and chapter 5 (pp 309-410) dealing with the teaching of Dutch litterature
The manuals used at the time are briefly described.

The book is focussed on the organization of teaching of Dutch, the problems
with finding teachers, the attendance of the programmes at all school
levels, the quality of the teaching.....

Some of the Walloons of the time kept quite some interest in Dutch after
1830, as e.g. Victor Hubert Delecourt, who learned Dutch at the college
(middle school) in Mons (Bergen) in the province of Hainaut (Henegouwen).
Using pseudonym H. Vandenhoven he published in 1844 a proposal for a
pan-Lowgerman orthography.

Those, who are more interested in the* legal aspects* of language use in the
Netherlands of the time, will find quite some resource material in an other
book, published some time ago:

Dr. A; de Jonghe
*De taalpolitiek van Willem I in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden (1814-1830)*
De genesis der taalbesluiten en hun toepassing,
1967, St-Andries-bij-Brugge, Uitgeverij J. Darthet
no ISBN 384 pp.

Regards,
Roger
