Research project Participant perspectives on professional language competence

The project focuses on internationally trained teachers and pre-school teachers and their experience and view of communication and language use in their work in Sweden. Their experience derives from their supplementary education (ULV) at universities in Sweden, and from their work as teachers in different parts of the Swedish school system.

A survey was sent to alumni from ULV, with questions about the interaction between language practice's and their beliefs and values, what needs they see in their work and how they are received at Swedish schools.
