Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
In this module, knowledge of Swedish as a foreign language will be further developed, enabling students to express themselves in Swedish independently and confidently in familiar situations on topics of general interest when standard Swedish is spoken. Students supplement their repertoire of subordinate clauses with other language skills including vocabulary, expressions, patterns of dialogue, etc. Students review and develop elementary aspects of grammar, such as the use of the prepositions and conjunctions, past tense, comparative adjectives, adverbs, complementation with the use of deponent verbs (verbs ending in -s), transitive and intransitive verbs, passive with 's' and with perfect participles, word order in complex sentence structures.
Learning Outcome
The module is aimed at level B1 Independent Language Use of the CEFR. Students acquire knowledge of Swedish as a foreign language at the standard language level with a focus on intercultural, cultural and academic aspects. After completion of this module, students can make themselves understood in most situations which occur in the context of work, school, and leisure in Swedish-speaking regions. They can report on academic and business careers; express hopes and wishes; give advice and directions; ask permission; express and discuss opinions on everyday subjects; argue for and against a position; and communicate their personal experiences and plans. They can understand and summarize the general content of authentic texts, television and radio programs and literature and take part in spontaneous discussions on familiar topics. Students can compose both formal and longer personal letters and texts on personal experiences; produce a well-structured report on everyday topics of personal interest; write a logically-supported position paper on a current issue with some assistance.
