Beskrivning
In officially bilingual Finland, the Finnish and Swedish language groups have their own educational paths, where the other national language is an obligatory school subject. In the national curriculum, the Finnish/Swedish as second national language is divided into different syllabi depending on the level and starting grade. One of them is a native-level language syllabus meant for Finnish-Swedish bilingual pupils, i.e., native-level Finnish in Swedish-medium schools and native-level Swedish in Finnish-medium schools.The aim of our symposium is to increase the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications of Swedish respectively Finnish as second national language subjects in native-level language didactics. We discuss the native-level language education from the viewpoints of the curriculum, teachers, and pupils. The findings contribute to develop Finnish versus Swedish as second national language subjects as well as to present educational approaches for language teaching of bilinguals in other contexts.
