Students who have been accepted to a Teacher Training Programme and completed 20 points AUO as well as 40 points of specialisation not including both Swedish and Mathematics. In this specialisation course, students will gain theoretical and practical knowledge from a language perspective regarding reading-, writing-, and mathematics acquisition of children before and in the school s primary years. After completing the course, students will have intensified their didactical knowledge about their specialisation so that they are able to take responsibility, demonstrate good judgement, and from a scientific approach support and stimulate all children s writing acquisition and mathematical development in the primary school years. An additional objective for all Teacher Training is the ability to use the Swedish language correctly verbally and in writing.
