Experiences from Sweden's teaching of bilingual

Why was Denmark for Sweden in 2006, when it comes to raising bilingual children? It has a new report from the Institute of Governmental Research studied.
A new report from the Institute of Governmental Research (AKF) shows that there is a positive effect on the teaching of bilingual, but there are also great statistical uncertainty associated with the study. And then the report shows that there is no longer much difference between Denmark and Sweden. Therefore recommend AKF need to examine the issue further. Children and Education Christine Antorini is positive. "We have a sincere desire to raise bilingual children. Therefore I want also that we get more knowledge. Much of the practice research, which is located in this area are from other countries, which can not be compared with Denmark. There is also a big difference in the way you can work with bilingual in Nørrebro, where you have up to 30 different languages ​​and in schools, where they have three language groups. "

Only one bit of difference

The report was launched by the chair of the School Council in 2006, when Sweden was better in the PISA studies. It focuses on whether there are actions in school in Sweden, Denmark may draw inspiration from for raising bilingual pupils' schooling. There is no certain knowledge about how effective the mother-tongue teaching is. One reason is that there are large differences in the extent and quality of teaching, and that it is different, how to work with the region in Denmark and Sweden. The report also shows that there are efforts in Denmark, which is different from Sweden. This is among other things that Danish as a second language is closely linked with all other school subjects, so that students are not taken unnecessarily from tuition to language training.
