Introduction

(The study programme used to be called: Norwegian as a Second Language)

The study programme Norwegian for Linguistic Minorities will provide knowledge about:

• Norwegian instruction best adapted to the different backgrounds of this group of pupils.

• How teachers can approach the teaching of Norwegian in the context of bilingual education and first language instruction.

The study programme will start: 14 September 2009 (week 38)
