AbstractWe are two teacher students with an ethnic background and we thought that it could be, exciting to work with subjects, like a multicultural environment in schools and the challenges within this environment for students, but also teachers. In this study, we focus on how the teachers work with bilingual students in a multicultural school. We wanted to get an understanding of the subject and to be able do so, we conducted some qualitative interviews. These interviews went through with teachers currently working at the same public school, teaching in classes from 1-5. Through this qualitative research, we were able to analyse, what the teachers attitude towards multilingualism is and what kind of methods they use organizing their teaching. Through these interviews we were able to ask the teachers, how they personally interpret the term ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣ create a positive environment regardless their native tongue and to be met with equals, as any other person. We think that the teachers attitude, can affect how the multilingual students is met and treated in the school environment. The attitude can affect other students minds and stay with them for the rest of their life's.The conducted interviews are used in our analysis and our analysis answers our questions. Some of the critical problems our research helped us point out, is that the motivation the teachers have or the lack of same, plays a significant role in how the teaching is organized and planned. Furthermore that the teachers needs to be educated during their career, because they at the moment don't have the knowledge to handle the situations with children that may have been a subject of abuse, warand so on. At the same time the teachers showed us that they didn't lack any motivation to do their best, as long as they were given the right tools and resources to do so.
