Content:          

The course gives the students the possibility of further improving and extending their language skills after having completed Swedish 2 as a foreign language or to maintain their abilities after the Intensive Beginner's course. The students learn to write syntactically more demanding texts, and are also offered the opportunity to practise their oral skills in the form of discussions about current topics or personal subjects. Students are also expected to be able to use authentic material in Swedish, such as newspaper articles and similar texts.

 

Students write texts based on a given title or in the form of a review. The students are also given the opportunity to practise oral language skills through class discussions, and discussions in small groups. Text material is often taken from newspapers or the Internet, so that the students can work with current matters. The teaching language is Swedish. Grammatical structures are dealt with according to the wishes or needs of the group.  

 

Evaluation:     

Proficiency in terms of how well a student has fulfilled the learning outcomes is determined using a scale of 0-5 (with 5 being the highest mark).  Written and oral examination, tests, active attendance (min. 75%) 

 

Previous studies:  Swedish as a foreign language I-II, or equivalent knowledge of Swedish.

 

Literature:       Göransson - Helander - Parada: "På svenska!" del 2.
