In Swedish 12–14, students begin to develop their reading and writing skills in Swedish in a supportive and guided environment. As many students are still young and relatively new to online learning, classes are structured to provide support, interaction, and guidance throughout activities and exercises.
Students gradually work on developing spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and familiarity with a range of different text types.
The course also introduces basic literary and informational texts in Swedish, helping students explore different themes and styles of texts while expanding their vocabulary and understanding of language nuances.
