Språklig integration : En studie om förskolepersonals uppfattningar om modersmål och svenska som andra språk / Linguistic integration : A study on preschool staff´s conceptions of mother tongue and Swedish as a second language

The qualitative case study has been conducted in a segregated preschool where the majority of all children had a common mother tongue and Swedish as a second language. The purpose was to study preschool staff's conceptions of mother tongue and Swedish as a second language. The issues concern the con-ditions for language development in mother tongue and Swedish as a second language and how the practical work is applied. Previous research indicates that mother tongue and Swedish as a second language is a complex problem area with contradictions. Therefore, it was interesting to find out what pre-school staff think about the matter in question. A semi-structured interview has been used as a data collection method. The analysis work was based on a phe-nomenographic strategy for identifying categories of the studied material. The identified categories that emerged are security, the mother tongue, time, moti-vation, visualizing, languaging and dividing. The main conclusion is that the mother tongue in general is seen as a means of achieving Swedish as a second language and that the Swedish language thus gets a higher priority and status.
