We want to investigate what language norms prevail in leisure centers and how these affect current multilingualism and mother tongue. We will touch on the translanguaging method and consider whether it can be implemented in the leisure center business. The language norm differs between different leisure activities, where some teachers encourage students to speak their own languages with other students with the same language, while other activities are against this. In order to have a positive development, it is important to have a secure identity. What is meant by identity? Identity is a concept that has different interpretations. In general, it can be said that identity isabout how a person sees themselves and memories from one's life experience, thoughts and feelings (Gudrun Svensson, National Agency for Education, 2018 article 1). There are two different definitions of multilingualism - simultaneous and successive, where simultaneous multilingualism means that the individual learns several languages at the same time and successive multilingualism means that the individual already has knowledge of a language when theystart learning a new one. In this study, the theoretical review of current research and text analysis will be deepened by interviews.The purpose of the interviews is to supplement the knowledge that a review of existing research in the field provides. Based on the research we have used as a theoretical framework, it becomes clear that an activity that rests on a monolingual norm and also bans languages other than Swedish, contributes to insecurity for those students who have a mother tongue other than the majority language.
