<p>Abstract</p><p>This study deals with outdoor education together with Swedish language teaching. In my future profession as a teacher I want to be able to offer my pupils varied, discovering and exploring lessons focused on nature. The aim of this study is to throw light upon outdoor teaching, hoping that more people will discover nature as the right place to learn.</p><p>In my study I have asked these questions:</p><p>• What is outdoor education?</p><p>• How can Swedish be taught out of doors?</p><p>• Why is this method a good complement to the traditional teaching in the classroom?</p><p>With these questions in wiev I made three qualitative interviews with teachers with different backgrounds. In addition I have planned, taught and evaluated the lesson that is the basis of the result.</p><p>Outdoor education should be given increasing time in school and be used as a complement to the traditional teaching in the classroom. The outdoor environment can offer a thematic and comprehensive method where the experience is the foundation for life-long learning. Nature is the best book for all school subjects and in this study Swedish occupies a special area in the boundless classroom that nature offers.</p><p>Keywords: Outdoor education, Swedish, learning to read and write, lesson</p>
