The purpose of the study is to contribute with more knowledge about how different teaching materials in NOS can differ in terms of the connection to the core content and how it is represented in the form of images. The two teaching materials that we have chosen to review are "Puls NO-boken" and "Boken om NO". To examine these, we have produced two analysis tools based on the core content. We have made both a qualitative and a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis is done on selected images from the two teaching aids that we have analyzed in more detail. The results show that “Boken om NO” uses simpler and clearer images than “Puls NO-boken” in the production of life cycles. In the quantitative analysis, we compare the two textbooks in general to get an overall picture of how the books differ in relation to the core content. The results show that “Boken om NO” includes all core content, while the “Puls NO-boken” excludes three parts of the core content. A conclusion that can be drawn from the study is that “Boken om NO” is a more favorable book for both students and teachers as it includes all parts of the core content and that the presentation of images is clearer. / Syftet med studien är att bidra med mer kunskap kring hur olika läroböcker i NO kan skilja sig åt vad gäller kopplingen till det centrala innehållet samt hur det representeras i form av bilder. De två läroböcker som vi valt att granska är “Puls NO-boken” samt “Boken om NO”. För att granska dessa har vi framställt två analysverktyg som utgår ifrån det centrala innehållet. Det har gjorts en kvalitativ och en kvantitativ analys. Den kvalitativa analysen är gjord på utvalda bilder från de två läroböckerna som analyserat närmare. Resultatet visar att ”Boken om NO” använder enklare och tydligare bilder än ”Puls NO-boken” i framställningen av livscykler.  I den kvantitativa analysen jämförs de två läroböckerna generellt för att få en övergripande bild över hur böckerna skiljer sig åt i förhållande till det centrala innehållet. Resultatet visar att “Boken om NO” behandlar alla centrala innehåll medan “Puls NO-boken” utesluter tre delar av det centrala innehållet. En slutsats som kan dras utifrån studien är att ”Boken om NO” är en mer gynnsam bok både för elever och lärare då den inkluderar alla delar ur det centrala innehållet samt att framställningen av bilder är tydligare.

In this master thesis we aim to answer the question: “which are the most prominent attitudes thathistory teachers have towards history educational textbooks” and “what kind of teaching materials are history teachers using when they choose to relinquish the educational textbook”. There are quite a fewstudies regarding the content in educational textbooks however, studies aimed at exploringteachers’ views and attitudes towards these textbooks are few. In northern Europe we havethe luxury as teachers to have a say in what kind of teaching material and what sources weuse in our history teaching; in contrast, many other countries’ where the teaching materialare strictly monitored and the curriculum states exactly what should be taught. This may bewhy we almost exclusively have found studies regarding our subject within the Swedish historical community. However, none of these researchers have done any major survey with aquantified research method within this field of knowledge. That is where we aim to focusour research for this master thesis. Furthermore, what we have found through our researchis that teachers’ attitudes towards and usage of educational textbooks are far more diversethan prior research have shown. Within this thesis we also aim to widen the field ofknowledge regarding how teachers seek and collect teaching materials outside the educational textbooks. Based on a survey with answers from a total of 85 teachers we quantify which parts of thehistory textbooks these teachers find problematic in their everyday use regardless ofwhether it is about historical content or historical doing. We also investigate whether thereare differences in the answers based on professional years.

Актуальность исследования обусловлена необходимостью изучения региональной культуры, позволяющей повысить эффективность преподавания русского языка как иностранного, увеличить мотивацию обучающихся; используемый креативный подход с учетом принципов речевой деятельности помогает при решении коммуникативных задач, с которыми студент встречается в повседневной жизни. Предлагаемый проект учебно-методического пособия отвечает требованиям эффективности образовательных программ в преподавании РКИ.

Данное диссертационное исследование посвящено изучению вопроса представления темы культуры родной страны (России) в обучении иностранному языку (ИЯ) и разработке учебного пособия в качестве примера того, как это может быть реализовано на занятиях по английскому языку у русскоязычных студентов бакалавриата и магистратуры. Актуальность данного вопроса заключается в ряде причин. Во-первых, культура страны является частью идентичности ее граждан и обладает объединяющей силой, что особенно важно в свете последних событий в России и мире. Во-вторых, такой подход к обучению ИЯ соответствует целям, задачам и интересам РФ по развитию, укреплению и сохранению культуры страны. В-третьих, в ряде работ по преподаванию ИЯ подчеркивается важность обращения при обучении ИЯ к культуре в целом и культуре родной страны в частности, а также создания наработок в данной области. В главе 1 рассматриваются понятия сфер обучения, теории и методики преподавания ИЯ, культуры, издательского дела и информационных коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ). Глава 1 также содержит обзор документов и проектов РФ, научной литературы. В главе 2 представлен и проанализирован проект авторского учебного пособия “Learning English through the Russian culture”, состоящий из одной главы на тему “Space exploration”, которая включает четыре урока для уровней B1, B2 и C1. Данное учебное пособие было разработано с использованием ИКТ и существует в электронном и печатном вариантах, а также сопровождается созданными на сайте Quizlet учебными карточками для отработки материала уроков. Представленный проект может быть использован при обучении английскому языку русскоязычных студентов бакалавриата и магистратуры или при самостоятельном изучении языка. Общим итогом работы является доказательство выдвигаемой гипотезы о том, что тему культуры родной страны целесообразно и возможно вводить при обучении ИЯ. / This dissertation research explores the issue of presenting the topic of native country (Russia) culture in foreign language (FL) teaching and developing a teaching aid as an example of how it can be implemented in English classes for undergraduate and graduate students, whose native language is Russian. The relevance of the issue lies in a number of reasons. Firstly, a country's culture is part of the identity of its citizens and has a unifying force, which is especially important in the light of recent events in Russia and the world. Secondly, this approach to teaching a foreign language is in line with the goals, objectives and interests of the Russian Federation to develop, strengthen and preserve the country's culture. Thirdly, a number of works on teaching the foreign language emphasize the importance of addressing culture in general and the native culture in particular while teaching a foreign language, as well as of creating learning materials on the topic. Chapter 1 discusses the concepts of the fields of learning, theory and methodology of language teaching, culture, publishing, and information communication technology (ICT). Chapter 1 also contains a review of Russian documents, projects, as well as of scientific literature. Chapter 2 presents and analyses the author's draft of instructional material collection entitled “Learning English through the Russian culture” which consists of one chapter on “Space exploration” with four lessons for levels B1, B2 and C1. This teaching aid was developed with the use of ICT and is available in electronic and print versions, and is accompanied by Quizlet cards for practicing the material of the lessons. The presented project can be used in teaching English to Russian-speaking undergraduate and graduate students or as a tool for independent language learning. The overall result of the work is proof of the hypothesis that it is appropriate and possible to introduce the topic of native culture in a foreign language classroom.

4 TITLE: Teaching aids for work with verbs of movement at elementary level in Russian language teaching SUMMARY: This diploma thesis deals with the topic of Russian verbs of movement. The aim of the thesis is to compile a comprehesive set of practical exercises and additional teaching materials (work sheets), which can be used as a supporting material in Russian language teaching. The set of practical exercises and additional teaching material is suitable for students at the age of thirteen years and above. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The teoretical part defines verbs of movement from a linguistic aspect and generally characterizes the didactic approaches to teaching foreign language grammar. Practical part includes a comprehensive set of practical exercises and additional teaching materials focused on a presentation and practice of selected verbs of movement. KEY TERMS: verbs of movement with prefix, verbs of movement without prefix, verb aspect, didactic approaches and principles, practical exercises, teaching aid, work sheet

Detta arbete syftar till att undersöka hur genuskontraktet är konstruerat i historieläromedel för årskurs 4-6. Detta har undersökts genom att analysera vilka maskulinitetsdrag som påbjuds läromedlets läsare genom dess narrativ. Undersökningen är genomförd på två versioner av ett läromedel som givits ut under två olika decennier. Det ena läromedlet gavs ut under mitten av 1990-talet i tryckt version medan det senare läromedlet gavs ut digitalt 2018. Studien har utgått från de två tidsperioderna 1611-1718 och 1718-1792 och har, baserat på läromedlens framställningar, fokuserat på att analysera hur och i vilka sammanhang som läromedlen väljer att framställa narrativets centrala karaktärer och därigenom konstruera ett genuskontrakt.     Resultatet visar att de två läromedlens framställningar inte skiljer sig nämnvärt från varandra utan till stor del återger samma historiska narrativ, ett narrativ som präglas av ett fåtal mäns handlingar och livsöden. Det är en specifik grupp män som dominerar läromedlens historieskrivning, vilket bidrar till att dessa män, genom sättet de framställs, framstår som dominanta i förhållandet till läromedlens centrala kvinnliga karaktärer. Egenskaper som lyfts fram som maskulina skiljer sig emellertid mellan studiens undersökta tidsperioder, då tipsperioderna i läromedlens framställning präglas av olika händelser och tankesätt. Trots detta visar studiens resultat att framställningarna kring manligt och kvinnligt framförallt kretsar kring dominans och framgång. En viss grupp män framställs i kontexter, i relation och i kontrast till övriga karaktärer på ett sätt som bidrar till att dessa män framstår som aktiva karaktärer i läromedlens historieskrivning. Dessa framställningar, i relation till hur läromedlen väljer att framställa övriga karaktärer, bidrar således till att ett genuskontrakt växer fram. Män framställs i kontexter om krig och politik och framställs genom dessa kontexter som handlingskraftiga, plikttrogna och aktiva karaktärer. Då männen kontrasteras mot läromedlens kvinnliga karaktärer framstår dessa egenskaper och sammanhang som typiskt manligt kodade i relation till utsatthet och passivitet, vilka framstår som kvinnligt kodade.

Denna uppsats undersöker relationen mellan lättlästa skönlitterära böcker och originalutgåvor genom en närstudie av John Ajvide Lindqvists Låt den rätte komma in och den lättlästa versionen Vampyren i Blackeberg. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad som skiljer sig i handlingen och vilka litterära aspekter som försvinner i en bearbetad lättläst text. Analysen fokuserar därför på olika aspekter av litterära föreställningsvärldar för att få svar på vad som förhåller sig annorlunda eller likartat. De forskningsfrågor som besvaras är: På vilket sätt skiljer sig informationen i John Ajvide Lindqvists lättlästa verk Vampyren i Blackeberg från originalutgåvan Låt den rätte komma in? Och vilken typ av information försvinner i det lättlästa verket i jämförelse med originalutgåvan? Resultatet visar att det förekommer markanta skillnader gällande typ och omfattning i den lättlästa bearbetningen. Stoff som försvunnit är bland annat miljöbeskrivningar, fokalisation och nedskärningar i dialoger för att göra dessa korta och koncisa med så få utläggningar som möjligt. Därtill visar diskussionen att lättläst litteratur inte bör användas som läromedel, då denna texttyp inte kan svara på Skolverkets kriterier när det kommer till svenskämnet. Lättläst litteratur kan aldrig ersätta originalutgåvor, eftersom bearbetningar reducerar bort vital information som gör att läsarens förståelse för handlingen försämras. / This essay analyzes the relationship between easy-to-read fiction and the original edition through a close study of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Låt den rätte komma in and the easy-to-read version Vampyren i Blackeberg. The purpose of this essay is to examine what differs in the plot and which literary aspects that disappear in an edited easy-to-read text. The analysis therefore focuses on different aspects of literary imaginary worlds to get answers for what looks different or similar. The research questions this study aims to answer are: In what way does the information in John Ajvide Lindqvist’s easy-to-read version Vampyren i Blackeberg differ from the original edition Låt den rätte komma in? And what kind of information disappears in the easy-to-read version compared to the original version? The results show that there are significant differences in the type and to what extent of the easy-to-read version. Things that have disappeared are environmental descriptions, focalisation and information in dialogues to make these short and concise, with as few explanations as possible. The discussion shows that easy-to-read literature should not be used as a teaching aid, as this type of text cannot meet the curriculum criteria when it comes to the Swedish subject. Easy-to-read literature can never replace original editions, as the easy-to-read texts reduce vital information that weaken the reader's understanding of the plot.

In this essay, I analyze and compare the representation of social actors in six different author presentations from the teaching aid Svenska Impulser 2, (2012). More specifically, I investigate similarities and differences in the representation of men and women and, thus, what meanings are ascribed to these gender categories. Consequently, these presentations belong to three different literary epochs or -isms: the enlightenment (Jean-Jaques Rousseau and Anna Maria Lenngren); romanticism (Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley), and modernism (James Joyce and Virginia Woolf). The analysis is further grounded on Judith Butler’s theory on performative gender and systemic functional grammar as developed and defined by Michael Halliday. The method of analysis is critical discourse analysis (CDA) where I quantify and analyze different types of representational strategies and process and participant functions (transitivity). In addition, these two sections of quantifications are each followed by a qualitative analysis with a certain focus on different epiteths, attributes, general descriptions, and agency. My findings show that the presentations of women are more populated and, that they are portrayed as dependent on men, whereas men are portrayed as independent explorers, innovators, influencers, rebels or radical political debaters and thinkers. While some of these qualities are implied, however more or less muted, in the presentations of women, they are explicated or, by other means, more evident in the presentations of men. Moreover, my analysis shows that the women’s gender identity is marked and thus emphasized in their presentations to a significantly greater degree than the men’s gender identity is in their presentations.
