Abstract The aim of this study is to find out how teachers view the importance of reading in the teaching of foreign languages. In relation to this, we wish to gain understanding of what teachers want to achieve with reading, how they choose texts and what difficulties they encounter in getting their students to read. Six teachers from three different upper secondary schools in southern Sweden were interviewed for the study. We also examined the text-materials that they were using for their instruction. The findings show that students read mostly adapted texts from textbooks and, to a limited extent, authentic materials.

The aim of this study was to investigate the individual meaning of experiences of migration and day-to day life experiences before and after migration, of women that had migrated from the Middle-east area to Sweden. This was to be done with a psychological health perspective looking for stressors and salutogenic factors. A phenomenological approach was used. Eleven women where interviewed with three open questions on a trajectory theme. The analysis was supported by software Sphinx Lexica and software MCA-Minerva.

The aim of this study was to explore how young students can be taught during their first year of learning English towards the A1 level according to The European Framework of Reference for Languages, and how the students understand their own learning. The study was carried out in two different classes but with the same teacher, who is qualified to teach English to young learners. The result is based on the analysis of a total of twelve observations of English lessons in two classes in school year one and eight group interviews with the students. Recurrent ingredients through all lessons were activities such as listening to teacher talk, watching films or film clips, singing songs and doing rhymes, using drama activities, talking about the meaning of learning English, practicing guessing competence and learning new vocabulary. The teacher consistently talked about and taught different strategies for language learning.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the problems in multilingual thesauri, with a focus on the problem of conceptual equivalence between different languages. This study compares the problems and solutions that have been carried out in the Eurovoc multilingual thesaurus with the ISO 5964 ISO 5964 is a guideline for establishment and development of multilingual thesauri. The Swedish descriptors in the subject area "education and communication", from Eurovoc have been observed and compared with the guidelines recommendations. The results show that, the majority of the investigated Swedish descriptors do not present any problem. Most of the terms that are used as descriptors are found in dictionaries and glossaries or appear with high frequency in Swedish websites.

Anledningen till varför jag valde att just skriva om läs- och skrivsvårigheter är dels att fenomenet förekommer ute i skolan och dels att jag som lärare förväntas vara kompetent på området och inte minst kunna hantera det praktiskt. Mitt syfte är att i en deskriptiv litteraturstudie ge exempel på konkreta metoder för hur man kan arbeta med elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter i klasserna 4-6 om man är vanlig klasslärare och då inom ramen för klassrumsundervsining. Mina övergripande frågor är: - Vad är läs- och skrivsvårigheter? - Hur yttrar sig läs- och skrivsvårigheter i skolan? - Vad finns det för olika metoder att använda sig av som vanlig lärare för att underlätta skolarbetet för elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter? På slutet i diskussionsavsnittet tar jag upp vilka metoder jag kan tänka mig att använda mig av i mitt arbete med elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Resultatet av denna litteraturstudie är att jag tycker mig ha fått en större inblick i hur man kan arbeta med elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter och att jag är en bit på väg men inser också att det i praktiken är eleven i fråga som får visa vägen för hur vi ska arbeta....

Sub-lethal doses of neonicotinoids have been shown to negatively impact the health of honeybees. However, most studies to date have exposed bees only artificially to these pesticides under laboratory conditions. There have been just a few well designed and replicated studies of the impacts of realistic neonicotinoid exposure on honeybees foraging under field conditions. In order to close this knowledge gap, and to test the influence of the neonicotinoid clothianidin on honeybees, we used a study system of 16 paired, spatially separated (>4 km) spring oilseed rape fields in the south of Sweden. The fields were paired according to land use, the surrounding landscape and geographical proximity, using GIS.

My purpose with this paper related to my questions was to find out how professionals preeschool teachers working on multilingualism. I also wanted to get answers on how pedagogues in the preeschool may promote multilingual children´s language development, the factors that promote multilingual children´s language development and the role parents have in the language development of multilingual children. I chose to do my study in the form of interviews with professional preeschool teachers and interviewees described including the need for more knowledge of pedagogues around multilingualism. My result based on theoretichal background and the study is that pedagogues should let the children´s all languages esemble together. A factor influencing the multilingual children´s language development is ambient attitudes to multilingualism.

The following essay describes a study made in Sweden in the autumn of 2010 at Södertörn University. The main purpose with this study is to find out and describe how people´s own understanding of being multilingual has influenced them. The objective behind this is to create a wider understanding for the phenomena. Therefore, the phenomenological perspective is used to describe the subjective reflection of a phenomena, in this case multilingualism. A qualitative method is being used for data gathering, implying conversational interviews with six multilingual people born in the 1970s and 1980s.The results show that the people interviewed mostly use their mother tongue in conversations with their parents and relatives today.

This thesis examines the Swedish Democrats relationship to an islamophobic worldview. The party developed from the racist party Bevara Sverige Svenskt (Keep Sweden Swedish) and is today the third largest party in Sweden, which gives them a powerful position in the society. It is therefore important to investigate their view on minorities, and in this case Muslims. In this thesis I examine the Swedish Democrat?s material during the election campaign the years of 2006, 2010 and 2014 using Ernesto Laclau?s and Chantal Mouffe?s discourse theory.

Fashion creates reactions. It is a type of art form that constantly needs to be updated. This is the thrilling part about fashion, but it is also the part that can create unintentional reactions.In this essay I will examine two garments that have achieved a great amount of media coverage, both in Sweden and abroad. One of them is a jumpsuit from H&M that was criticized because of the resemblance to the uniform worn by the Peshmerga-soldiers in Kurdistan. The other garment is a children?s sweater launched by Zara.

Jag ska i denna uppsats ta reda på vad människor tycker om tilltalsformen ni. Genom en enkätundersökning där informanterna fått svara på om de blir niade och niar ska jag ta reda på om tilltalsformen ni, anses vara en passande tilltalsform idag. I uppsatsen ges en bakgrund till hur en språkförändring går till, hur tilltalsformen ni kom till och hur den uppfattades ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Dessutom redovisas en undersökning som gjorts av Eva Mårtensson (1986, Det nya niadandet) på 80-talet där man upptäckt en ny form av niande hos ungdomar.Resultaten av enkätsvaren styrker att niandet är utpräglat i språkbruket, såväl hos ungdomar som äldre. Man kan inte finna några spår av att den gamla betydelsen av ni finns kvar hos någon av språkbrukarna.

Mitt syfte med detta arbete har varit att undersöka ordinlärning i franska för årskurserna 7-9. Då jag själv har fått lägga ner mycket tid på ordinlärning i mina franskstudier har jag kommit att ställa mig frågan hur man arbetar med ordutlärning i nybörjarundervisningen på högstadiet. Eftersom orden är språkets grundstenar anser jag att det är oerhört viktigt att som lärare besitta kunskap om hur man på ett systematiskt sätt hjälper eleverna att bygga upp sitt ordförråd. I litteraturgenomgången hade jag för avsikt att ge en teoretisk bakgrund till min undersökning. Jag tog min utgångspunkt i språkinlärning i största allmänhet för att så småningom inrikta mig mer specifikt mot ordinlärning.

Research about what differences and similarities exists between UNHCR and UNRWA in the opinion of a refugee?This examination focuses on a study between The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and THE United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Both organizations are UN-related and are in charge of refugees, however they differ by the fact the UNHCR controls all of the world?s refugees with the exception of the Palestinian refugees, for which UNRWA. The aim of this work will be to examine the definition of refugees as well as their entitlements and in what way they differ depending on which organization they belong to.As theory I have, among others, used Rainer Bauböck?s book ? Transnational Citizenship?.
