The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers in primary schools experience the situation of teaching newly arrived immigrant pupils in their regular classes and also how they plan their teaching for these pupils. The empirical study did intend to answer the following two questions; how do teachers experience the situation of teaching newly arrived immigrant pupils in their regular classes? How is teaching of newly arrived immigrant pupils in regular classes being formed? A qualitative method was used in the form of interviews with five primary school teachers from two different schools. The overall perspective I have assumed in this study is the sociocultural perspective, but I have also taken up a second language perspective and an intercultural perspective. All the teachers in the study have described their experiences of teaching newly arrived immigrant pupils in terms of difficult, tough and demanding at the beginning, but nowadays somewhat easier. They also expressed a sense of loneliness in handling this situation since they do not receive any support and help from the schools leadership. All the teachers in the study also experienced difficulties in keeping up with all the pupils in their class. Four of the teachers stated that they often felt inadequate and all of the teachers requested more resources. The teachers also described that they try to plan their teaching based on the newly arrived immigrant pupils’ abilities and needs but that these pupils sometimes had to follow the regular scheduled teaching. Every one of the teachers claimed that they work very concretely using body language and a lot of pictures in their teaching. Furthermore they expressed that the interaction between teacher and pupil, and pupil and pupil was an important component of the newly arrived pupils’ language development.

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka förberedelseklassen som instrument för språkinlärning i det svenska språket samt integrering i samhället för nyanlända elever. Studien syftar till att undersöka detta utifrån lärarnas perspektiv samt nationella styrdokument för att möjliggöra en jämförelse i deras syn på utbildning för nyanlända elever. Utifrån detta formulerades fyra frågeställningar som berörde utformning av undervisning, styrdokumentens samt lärarnas syn på språkinlärning och integrering, kunskapsbedömning samt samhällsnormers implikationer på utbildningen för nyanlända elever. För att besvara studiens syfte har vi valt en kvalitativ metodansats samt genomfört en textanalys på regeringens Proposition Utbildning för nyanlända elever- mottagande och skolgång samt Läroplanen för grundskolan, förskoleklassen och fritidshemmet 2011. Vi valde att intervjua två lärare i en större kommun i Mellansverige som arbetar i samma förberedelseklass. Analysen av intervjuerna har genomförts med en fenomenologisk metodansats för att belysa deras perspektiv på undervisningen samt nationella styrdokument. Genom en jämförelse analyserades dokumenten tillsammans med intervjuerna samt tidigare forskning för att belysa nationell- samt skolnivå. Detta analyserades sedan utifrån en teori om språkinlärning samt en integreringsteori.   Ur resultat kan utläsas att förberedelseklassen är ett bra integreringsverktyg samt ger bra förutsättningar för ämnes- samt svenskinlärning, förutsatt att rätt premisser råder. Dock tyder empirin på att avsaknaden av nationella styrdokument resulterar i varierande undervisningsmetoder och utbildningsmöjligheter beroende på skola och kommun. Empirin belyser problematiken av den heterogena strukturen som råder i dagens skolväsen men analysen tyder på att Propositionen kan bidra med att göra utbildningen för nyanlända elever mer likvärdig. / The purpose of this study is to examine newcomer programs as an instrument for language learning in the Swedish language and integration into the society for newly arrived students. This study aim to examine this from the teacher’s point of view and national regulatory documents to enable a comparison between their points of views on education for newly arrived students. On the basis of this, four questions were formulated that concerned the formation of education, national regulatory documents and the teachers point of view on language learning and integration, knowledge assessments as well as the implications of societal norms on education for newly arrived students. To answer the purpose of this study we have chosen a qualitative method as well to carry out a text analysis on the governmental Proposition Utbildning för nyanlända elever- mottagande och skolgång as well as the Curriculum for elementary school, pree-school and after-school centre 2011. We have chosen to interview two teachers who both work in the same newcomer program in a bigger municipality in the Middle of Sweden. The analysis has been carried out with a phenomenological research approach to be able to illustrate their perspective on education and the national regulatory documents. Through a comparison the documents were analyzed together with the interviews and previous research to illustrate national- and school level. This was later analyzed on the basis of a language learning theory and a theory on integration. From the result one can understand that the newcomer programs is a good instrument for integration and provides good conditions for subject- and language learning given that the right circumstances exist. However the empiricism indicates that if there is an absence of national regulatory documents it may result in various teaching methods and educational possibilities depending on the school and municipality. The empiricism illustrates the problematic situation of the heterogenic structure that prevails within the school system but the analysis interpret that the governmental Proposition may contribute to a more equal education for newly arrived students.

Cette recherche a pour objet l’étude des interactions verbales dans les classes de collège pour les élèves nouvellement arrivés en France. Les élèves qui ne possèdent pas une maîtrise suffisante du français bénéficient à leur arrivée d’heures de français tout en suivant quelques cours dans une classe ordinaire de collège. Mais l’échec scolaire des élèves migrants reste trop fréquent et les chercheurs s’accordent pour dire que l’inadaptation se joue dès le passage en classe ordinaire.Nos observations corroborent cet état de fait. Dans les enregistrements réalisés en français, mathématiques et histoire-géographie, les EANA participent normalement aux échanges en structure d’accueil mais ne prennent jamais la parole sans sollicitation de l’enseignant en classe ordinaire. Les EANA sont mal préparés à la langue de l’école. Que proposent les méthodologies du FLS et du français langue de scolarisation ? Comment former les élèves aux compétences de compréhension et de production de l’oral scolaire compte tenu du contexte particulier de la classe ?Nous avons analysé les interactions verbales d’un corpus de dix-huit séances afin d’observer comment s’organisent les échanges didactiques au collège à la fois en structure d’accueil et en classe ordinaire. Nous cherchons ainsi à déterminer quel contexte interactif peut favoriser l’apparition de cette prise de parole des débutants, afin de proposer quelques pistes didactiques pour préparer les élèves à se rendre acteurs dans la construction interactive des cours auxquels ils participent. / This research deals with the study of verbal interactions in middle school classrooms for pupils who have recently arrived in France. Pupils who do not sufficiently master the French language get French lessons upon their arrival while attending other lessons in a regular middle school classroom. Nevertheless the academic failure of migrant pupils remains too frequent and researchers agree to say that the unsuitability emerges as soon as the pupils integrate regular classes.Our observations support this established fact. On the recordings we have made during French, mathematics, history and geography lessons, the allophone pupils participate normally in the exchanges when they are in the integration structure but never intervene without being invited to by the teacher in the regular classes. The EANA are not well prepared to schooling language. What do the methodologies of the FLS (French as a secondary language) and of the French language of the schooling propose? How can the pupils be trained to oral production and comprehension skills taking into account the particular context of the classroom?We have analysed the verbal interactions of a corpus of eighteen lessons in order to study the organisation of didactic exchanges in middle-schools, both in integration structures and regular classes. We are thus trying to determine which interactive context can help the beginner to start speaking, in order to propose some didactic ideas to prepare pupils to become actors in the interactive construction of the lessons to which they participate in.

Syfte med studien var att belysa skolsköterskors erfarenheter av hälsosamtal med nyanlända elever som kommit till Sverige tillsammans med sina familjer. En kvalitativ design med induktiv ansats och semistrukturerade intervjuer tillämpades. Totalt inkluderades sju skolsköterskor från olika skolor i Västernorrlands län och i Stockholms län. Intervjumaterialet bearbetades genom innehållsanalys. Resultatet av studien visade på ett tema "Att vara mer än bara skolsköterska" med tre huvudkategorier; "Att utmanas i sin yrkesroll som skolsköterska i hälsosamtalet" "Att berikas i sin yrkesprofession i samband med hälsosamtalet" "Att inte räcka till i hälsosamtalet som skolsköterska" Vidare bildades 14 stycken subkategorier. Samtliga skolsköterskor betonade att mötet med nyanlända elever i samband med hälsosamtal innebar att vara mer än bara skolsköterska, baserat på både positiva och negativa faktorer. Hälsosamtal med nyanlända elever innebar olika typer av utmaningar som ofta var relaterade till avsaknad av riktlinjer, kunskapsbrist, tidsbrist och resursbrist. Trots de utmaningar som framkom i studien uppgav skolsköterskorna att de hankade sig fram. Vidare uppgav skolsköterskorna att de berikades i sin yrkesroll i samband med hälsosamtalet vilket skapade en känsla av tillfredsställelse och ett engagemang av att vilja hjälpa och finnas där för dessa elever på ett djupare plan. De beskrev också en känsla av att inte räcka till i hälsosamtalet med eleven, vilket väckte känslor som osäkerhet, frustration och maktlöshet hos skolsköterskorna samt påverkade deras professionella förhållningssätt. Alla deltagare i studien var överens om att det saknades riktlinjer för bemötande av nyanlända elever på gymnasienivå och att det fanns kunskapsluckor hos skolsköterskorna gällande kulturella skillnader. Deltagarna efterfrågade också handledning i arbetet med nyanlända elever. / The aim of this study was to investigate and disclose the experiences that school nurses encounter, in regard to health consultations, with newly arrived foreign students. The study had a qualitative design and was composed of semi structured interviews with an applied inductive approach. In total, seven interviews were performed with separate school nurses from the counties of Västernorrland and Stockholm. The interview material was processed through a content analysis. The results from the study indicated a theme of " being more than a school nurse" was composed of three main constituents; "To be challenged in one´s profession as a school nurse in health consultations" "To be enriched in one's profession in regard to health consultations" "To be inadequate in the health consultations as a school nurse" Based on both positive and negative factors, all school nurses affirmed that the meeting with the newly arrived foreign students, in regard to health consultations, resulted in being more than a school nurse. Health consultations with the students involved different types of challenges that consisted of inadequate guidelines, knowledge, time and resources. In spite of the challenges posed by the findings in this report, the school nurses asserted that they inched forward. The school nurses argued that they were enriched in their role in relation to the health consultations, which resulted in a sense of satisfaction and a commitment of wanting to help and be there for these students on a deeper level. The nurses reported a feeling of being inadequate during the consultations with the students, which brought forth feelings of insecurity, frustration and helplessness with the nurses. They reported that even their professional disposition had been affected. All participants in this study agreed that current high school health consultation guidelines were inadequate and confirmed that they lacked some knowledge in regard to cultural differences. The participants also requested guidance in their work involving newly arrived foreign students.

The aim is to study how two newly-arrived pupils in the subject of Swedish cooperate with each other through code-switching. The study is based on a qualitative method with three observations during classes in the subject of Swedish. The study showed me that newly arrived pupils use a lot of codeswitching when they are paired up with each other. In particular, this study found that they used code-switching when their vocabulary in Swedish did not suffice, as well as when they had problems with interpreting certain words. In most cases, the subjects show a preference for intrasentiell code-switching (switching within the sentence for a few words) over the intersentiell variety, although both occur.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how people with a temporary residence permit are motivated to integrate into a society, though, among other things, language learning, work and studies. On July 20, 2016, a new temporary law was introduced, where instead of a permanent residence permit, a temporary residence permit is granted with requirements to fulfill for extension. The empirical evidence for the study has been collected through semistructured interviews with eight people who, at the time of the interview, had a temporary residence permit. Previous research describes topics related to integration in general ,temporary residence and lastly motivation, and contributes with knowledge to the research topic, where a knowledge gap is their own descriptions of motivation to integrate, as well as motivation to learn the language, work and study with a temporary residence permit. The theoretical framework for the study includes theories about the concepts of integration and motivation, but also Georg Simmel's contribution about the ‘Stranger’ in combination with temporality and mobility. The results show motivation for integration in the form of language learning, studies and work, despite high demands and an uncertain future. A permanent residence permit is for many a purpose for establishing themselves and realizing long-termgoals. / Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur personer med ett tillfälligt uppehållstillstånd motiveras till att integrera sig i ett samhälle, genom bland annat språklärande, arbete ochstudier. Den 20 juli 2016 infördes en ny tillfällig lag, där istället för ett permanent uppehållstillstånd ges ett tillfälligt uppehållstillstånd med krav att uppfylla för förlängning. Empirin för studien har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta personer som vid tiden intervjun ägde rum, hade tillfälligt uppehållstillstånd. Tidigare forskning redogör ämnen som berör integration i allmänhet, tillfälliga uppehållstillståndet och sist motivation, och bidrar med kunskap till eget forskningsämne, där en kunskapslucka är egna beskrivningar av motivation till att integrera sig, samt motivation till att lära sig språket, arbeta och studera med ett tillfälligt uppehållstillstånd. Den teoretiska ramen för studien innefattar teorier om begreppen integration och motivation, men även Georg Simmels bidrag om ‘Främlingen’ i kombination med temporalitet och mobilitet. Resultatet visar på motivation till integration i form av språklärande, studier och arbete, trots höga krav och en osäker framtid. Ett permanent uppehållstillstånd är för flera ett ändamål till att etablera sig och förverkliga långsiktiga mål.

The purpose of the thesis is to study how Umeå municipality explicitly approaches what constitutes quality and problems in school activities and how it can be understood in relation to segregation andequality. Using Bacchis ``What's the problem represented to be´´-approach we seek to analyse what problems are presented, how the municipality aims to handle the problem and what the discursive effects of these representations are. The analysis is based on the Municipality's quality report 2019/20.The main problem discussed lies with school staff who partly do not understand their assignment and partly prioritize certain parts of the curriculum over others. Non-ethnic Swedish students (“recently arrived”, “multi lingual students” and “students born abroad”) are described as a monolithic and especially problematic category due to parents’ cultural views and lacking language skills. In both these representations the wider social context of e g segregation, is disregarded, and power of the municipality to deal with the described problems are minimized.

Denna studies syfte är att undersöka nyanlända elevers upplevelser av erkännande under sin skolgång. Det empiriska materialet för denna studie består av fyra lågt strukturerade livsberättelseintervjuer. Intervjupersonerna består av tidigare nyanlända elever som retrospektivt reflekterar kring och ser tillbaka på upplevelser under sin skolgång. Empirin tolkas med hjälp av erkännandets moral (Honneths, 2003), samt en teoretisk framställning av erkännande i en skolkontext (Trondman, 2016). Datan analyserades utifrån en hermeneutisk tolkning, där resultatet visade på att det är upplevelsen av handlingar som är avgörande för om det nås ett erkännande eller en moralisk kränkning. Vidare synliggörs det att oavsett vilken form av erkännande som ämnas uppnås, behöver individens självrelationer relateras till handlingarna. Således behövs en holistisk bild för att kunna bidra till att individen bygger upp eller bibehåller en positiv självrelation. / The purpose of this study is to explore newly arrived students' experiences of recognition during their schooling. The empirical material for this study consists of four low structured life-story interviews. The interviewees consist of former newly arrived students who retrospectively reflect on and look back on experiences during their schooling. The empirical data is interpreted with the help of the morality of recognition (Honneths, 2003), as well as a theoretical interpretation of recognition in a school context (Trondman, 2016). The data was analyzed based on a hermeneutic interpretation, where the results showed that it is the experience of an action that is decisive if recognition or a moral violation is achieved. Furthermore, it is made clear that regardless of what form of recognition is intended to be achieved, the individual's self-relations need to be related to the actions. Accordingly, a holistic picture is needed to be able to contribute to the individual building up or maintaining a positive self-relationship.

Denna studie berör lärares uppfattningar om nyanlända elevers matematiska svårigheter i årskurs 1–3. Flera nyanlända elever börjar i den svenska skolan, vissa av dem har skolbakgrund och vissa saknar det. Oavsett vilket är det skolans och lärarens plikt att handleda och stötta eleverna i deras studier. Tidigare forskning visar att de nyanlända eleverna ofta presterar sämre än andra elever i matematikundervisningen, speciellt när de stöter på textbaserade uppgifter. Det har framkommit tydligt att de nyanlända elevernas matematiska svårigheter uppstår på grund av att de saknar det svenska språket. I denna studie kommer det att presenteras vilka svårigheter några lärare upplever att nyanlända elever har i matematikundervisning och på vilket sätt lärarna stödjer dessa elever i matematikundervisningen. Denna studie är en kvalitativ studie där semistrukturerade intervjuer har utförts för att besvara forskningsfrågorna. Tre matematiklärare och tre SvA-lärare har deltagit och bidragit med sina tankar och resonerat kring studiens valda problemområde. Studien tar avstamp från det interkulturella perspektivet. Det framkommer i resultatet från de sex respondenterna att språket spelar en stor roll för de nyanlända elevernas lärande i ämnet matematik. I resultatet framkommer att lärarna hade liknande resonemang och tankar kring hur de ska uttala sig vid genomgångar och tydliggöra olika matematiska begrepp, termer och symboler. Studiens slutsats är att användning av studiehandledning, modersmål samt formellt och informellt språk är olika sätt att underlätta för nyanlända elever i matematikundervisningen. Vidare framkom att de modersmål som de nyanlända eleverna har kan utnyttjas för att öka elevernas förståelse för begrepp, termer och symboler i matematikundervisningen. Detta betyder att språket kan spela en stor roll i de nyanlända elevernas kunskapsutveckling. / This study deals with teachers’ views of mathematical difficulties for newly arrived students in Grades 1-3. Several newly arrived students have started in the Swedish schools, some of them have a school background and some do not. Either way, it is the duty of the school and the teacher to manage and support the students in their education. Previous research show that newly arrived pupils often perform worse than other pupils in mathematics education, especially when the instruction relies on text-based assignments. It has become clear that the newly arrived pupils’ mathematical difficulties arise partly because they lack the Swedish language. This study will present what difficulties some teachers of newly arrived students have in mathematics instruction and in what way they support newly arrived students in their mathematics teaching. This study is a qualitative study where semi-structured interviews have been done to answer the research questions. Three mathematics teachers and three Swedish as second language teachers have participated and contributed with their thoughts and reasoned about the study's chosen problem. The study has taken off from the intercultural perspective. The results from the six respondents clearly show that language plays a significant role in the newly arrived students' learning abilities in mathematics. The result shows that the teachers had similar thoughts and opinions about how they should express themselves during lectures and how to clarify different mathematical concepts, terms and symbols. The study's conclusion is that study guidance, mother tongue as well as formal and informal language is strategies to advance mathematics teaching for the newly arrived students. In addition, it was found that the native languages that the newly arrived students have can be appointed to increase the students' understanding of concepts, terms and symbols in mathematics education. This means that language plays an important role in the newly arrived students' development of knowledge.
