Global English and International Dutch on the VU Campus
This project implements inclusive education at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam by means of a language diversity programme for Dutch and English. VU-students and staff become more aware of the different varieties of Dutch and English spoken at VU, leading to a better understanding and appreciation of each other. The core of the program is the VU sMOOC (Social Massive Open and Online Course) "English Pronunciation in a Global World," which we will deploy in curricular and extracurricular on-campus education and other activities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Additionally, we will also develop a Dutch equivalent sMOOC called "International Dutch."
