“…Speech: Draft Action Programme for the Swedish Language (SOU, 2002) warned that the extensive use of English could result in the lack of development of Swedish terminology and that English being the only language used in certain contexts could lead to domain loss and ultimately even to language shift and diglossia. In these earlier debates, Josephson (2004), for example, suggested imagining a worst-case scenario where we use Swedish at home, during the coffee break, in the football stands, when we dance around the Christmas tree, get married, baptise our children and bury our relatives -perhaps also at the ceremonial opening of the Riksdag. Otherwise, English is used in all important contexts.…”

English has for a long time had a strong position in the Swedish sociolinguistic context. English is ubiquitous in the contemporary Swedish public sphere, and good knowledge of English can be found in all sections of society. Far from only being used as a lingua franca for international communication, English is today also pervasively used in domains of business, higher education and academia, as well as in the media and for entertainment purposes. This growing presence of English in Sweden has led to language debates about the status and the role of English in Sweden and concerns of whether English is a threat to Swedish. This article discusses the status and the manifold functions of English in Sweden and describes the uses and features of English in the Swedish context. It concludes with a discussion of the current debates on the uses and the role of English in Sweden.

“…This is particularly worrying for countries with a relatively small number of users, such as, for instance, the Nordic countries. In Sweden, there has been an ongoing debate for decades on the possible threat the growing use of English may pose for the future of Swedish (Josephson, 2004;Norén, 2006;Svensson, 2023). This is a serious concern meriting attention.…”

In this article, we report and discuss findings from a case-study of cross-curricular CLIL implementation involving English and home economics at a Swedish middle school. The objective was to study teaching strategies for supporting students’ integrated development of content and language knowledge in practical school subjects and to explore the role of the majority language in the CLIL classroom. The study is theoretically grounded in the perspective of languages as being socially constructed (Lantolf, 2000; Lantolf & Thorne, 2006). The focus of the analysis is the role of scaffolding (Walqui, 2006) in CLIL. Data consist of field notes and teaching materials from lesson observations as well as teachers’ plans and evaluations of the CLIL theme. Findings show that practical subjects, such as home economics, offer ample opportunities for visual scaffolding, and that the content is concrete and often close to students’ everyday life. Further, the content of the English lessons becomes highly relevant for the students as it will be used in an authentic situation, i.e. in home economics class. With careful planning, including strategies for scaffolding, and cooperation among teachers, cross-curricular CLIL themesinvolving a practical subject seem highly suitable for CLIL among young learners.

Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tilväxtverket): Tilväxtverket provides inancial support to facilitate sustainable development in businesses, through so their socalled "Checks for a Green Transition" initiative.…”
