I denna uppsats behandlar jag hur svensk skönlitteratur och olika medier används i en klass i utlandet där kompletterande svensk undervisning bedrivs. Studien omfattar även elevernas uppfattning om svensk kultur och hur kultur förmedlas i undervisningen. Därtill har också elevernas attityder till språket granskats. Undersökningen omfattar kvalitativa intervjuer med en lärare och fyra elever. Studien visar att litteraturundervisningen utgår ifrån ett erfarenhetspedagogiskt perspektiv vad gäller valet av litteratur.
