Swedish as a second language, English
Are you interested in language and like working with adolescents? If so, this programme could be the one for you. You will obtain good knowledge in Swedish as a second language and English and this, combined with educational science, will develop you into a ready-made secondary school teacher.
As a language teacher in compulsory school years 7-9 you will teach in two different subjects. In this specialization, you will study Swedish as a second language for three semesters, your first subject, and English for two semesters, your second subject. Before you apply to the Teacher Education Programme for Secondary School, it is important that you look up which specific entry requirements are needed for the subjects you have chosen.
Beside substantial subject knowledge this programme will give you tools to work with the many social relations that every teacher meets each day. You will also gain practical and theoretical tools to see, asses and follow pupils' and your own learning.
Within the courses in educational science you will learn about pupils needs, rights and obligations and other matters concerning school, society, teaching and development.
An important and appreciated part of the programme is the school placement. During your school placement you will be in a school and participate in the pedagogical practice and you also have the optional opportunity to do one of your school placement courses abroad.
If your university has an agreement with our department you are welcome to join us as an exchange student.
