Abstract:
In traditional schooling, one-way monologue from teacher to student is the established way of communica­tion in the classroom. Modern pedagogues are presently breaking free of this status quo.  This master thesis explores whether there is a change in the student’s attitudes towards their school­ing and whether there is an academic benefit for the student when applying a flipped class­room model. This study was performed in Swedish upper secondary school during the students’ last course in mathematics. The study was carried out using focus group interviews and direct participat­ing observation.

Abstract:
The push for technology in education might not be as successful as some 21st century policy makers might expect. Numerous researchers have failed to find any positive outcomes following the integration of technology into education. This study compared classrooms in which Classroom Performance System (CPS) technology had been integrated with non-CPS classrooms in terms of the classroom learning environment and students’ attitudes toward science. Student perceptions of the learning environment were assessed with a modified version of the Technology-Rich Outcomes-Focused Learning Environment Inve

Abstract:
The importance of explicit grammar instruction has been debated during decades within the second language acquisition discourse community. Researchers’ views on the topic are controversial, and there is still no clear answer to be found. In terms of English teacher attitudes, previous research shows no indication of a gradually decreasing interest in explicit grammar instruction in L2 or FL classrooms. Despite this, the Swedish National Agency of Education does not mention explicit grammar instruction in their official documents regarding the subject of English. Hence, this paper aims to exami

Abstract:
<p>Many English teachers see British English as the standard variety and teach this variety in the classroom.

As a result, there are a lot of students who use a mixture of these varieties because of the double input, both from media and from the teachers in school. In this paper, I interviewed teachers from Swedish secondary and upper secondary schools to find out what their attitudes towards British and American English were and whether these attitudes were reflected in their teaching.

Abstract:
A current topic in Swedish schools is the use of computer games and gaming. One reason is because computers are becoming more and more integrated into the schools, and the technology plays a large role in the everyday lives of the pupils. Since teachers should integrate pupils’ interests in the formal teaching, it is of interest to know what attitudes teachers have towards gaming. Therefore the aim of this empirical study is to gain an insight into the attitudes Swedish primary teachers have towards online and offline computer games in the EFL classroom.

Many studies show that language learners see the benefits of using their first language in order to learn second or subsequent languages, while they also see some disadvantages.

To this aim, data are examined from Swedish learners (n= 168) in grades 7-9 to investigate their attitudes and perceptions towards translanguaging in the EFL class
