- En undersökning om ämnet svenska som andraspråk sett ur ett lärarperspektiv
AbstractThe purpose with this examination is to contribute with knowledge about teaching in Swedish as second language from teachers? point of view and which materials the teachers? choose to use while teaching. To reach the purpose, I have formulated questions that I have tried to answer through a qualitative study. The questions are: How do teachers? describe their teaching in Swedish as second language? Which material do teachers? feel that they use while teaching and is there any difference in teaching at schools that has many pupils needing second language teaching compared to schools with fewer pupils who needs second language teaching?I have interviewed three teachers? in three different districts, who all work with second language teaching. The interviews were executed in the same way as I went to the teachers? schools to accomplish the interviews. The informants have answered the same questions and the answers have been recorded.The result of the study shows that the teachers have a great liberty to choose how the teaching is organized and which materials to choose. The teachers mix different materials that they think help the pupils? linguistic development.One conclusion in the study is that conversations have an important part in the teaching as well as literature that is adjusted to match the pupils? interests and that are just enough challenging.Keywords: Swedish as second language, teaching, materials, communication
