  This article deals with current approaches of teaching literature in NVT studies in
  Hungary. The research examines the coherence of literature and foreign language teaching
  – in this case Dutch as a foreign language. The general question, which requires both
  theoretical and empirical research, is aimed at which methods exist with which foreign
  language skills can be developed through the teaching of literature and literary skills
  through foreign language pedagogy. The present article is the first step on this path: it
  describes the situation of literature and foreign language teaching in Hungary and those
  theoretical approaches that should act as the background of future didactic research.

  The article seeks to encourage reflection about the creation and development of a cult
  status in Dutch culture: in the Dutch past, but also in the present. It focuses on the case of
  Michiel de Ruyter (1607–1676). He has long been represented as ‘zeeheld’ (naval hero),
  but his status as hero is currently under scrutiny in the Netherlands. The article dissects
  cultural representations of De Ruyter to explain why he turned from a typical exponent of
  the seventeenth century ‘zeehelden’ into a – criticized – exponent of the Dutch merchant.
  It also briefly explores the possibility of yet another turn in the way De Ruyter is memorized culturally in the Netherlands. Could the memory of De Ruyter, and more in particular
  his linguistic and literary skills, serve as a shield against the growing illiteracy in the
  Netherlands?
