<p>The Swedish school reflects the society that we have today, a society with many different ethnical and cultural backgrounds. The purpose of this investigation is to study how the school is working with children that recently immigrated to Sweden. What kind of methods are they using at school, to get the best development as possible? Do the teachers manage to be concerned of the students in the school? What kind of reception do these children get in the school? What methods are the teachers using? And are these methods really the best to use to enhance the language and cognitive development of these students?</p><p>The methods I have been using to examine these questions have been qualitative. I have interviewed three teachers about their everyday work in a multiethnic school south of Stockholm. To get as much information as possible I also completed these reports with a two week observation period in their classes.</p><p>The theoretical attachment for this investigation has been theories related to children bilingualism and second language acquisition. Because the focus has been on the teachers’ perspective, I have also looked at research about how teachers should be working.</p><p>The results of the investigation shows what kind of methods the teachers are using in preparation class and in the regular class, the teachers are using methods that is making the children language. They are making sure that every child is being seen for his or hers knowledge.</p>
