Abstract

This contribution concerns using English as a world language as a means to the development of identity in adolescents in the context of citizenship education integrated in English as a foreign language education in upper-secondary school in the Netherlands. This project was carried out in response to one of the EMVT5.1 (Multilingualism) recommendations of curriculum.nu and a report from the KNAW (2018). Insights from developmental psychology, linguistics, educational theories and educational design research principles were combined to create assignments that address English linguistic and cultural diversity. This resulted in a free website for students and teachers with assignments and keys. The site is one of the first hands-on attempts to position the linguistic and cultural diversity of English as a world language in the secondary school curriculum in the Netherlands.
