As a consequence of the growing number of m ultilingual students in Swedish-medium schools (mostly multilingual speake rs of Finnish and Swedish)\, there is a need for constant focus on languag e in all subjects.  In these multilingual settings\, the development of ac ademic language and disciplinary literacy are therefore crucial to student s’ success\, and teachers must balance the need to emphasize the language of instruction (Swedish) with confirmation and support for other languages – especially the majority language Finnish. I have conducted school ethno graphic video research\, mostly in upper secondary schools\, but also at o ther school levels\, with a focus on language across the curriculum.\n\n'F or their extracurricular activities\, children typically join either Finni sh- or Swedish-medium groups that uphold the monolingual norm from the sch ool. But there are also multilingual groups where the leaders use two or t hree languages as parallel language use\, responsible code-switching or as translanguaging. ln my research projects\, I have video recorded interact ions between children and between children and leaders in two different co ntexts: at soccer practice and at a nature-based summer camp. During these activities\, children from Swedish- and Finnish-medium schools meet. When analyzing these kind of multilingual learning practices\, an essential qu estion for me is\, “In what way can we understand content and language lea rning in relation to multilingual practices?”.\n\n'In my talk\, video data from both classroom interaction as well as from children’s extracurricula r activities will be discussed. \n\n'I am an Associate Professor and Unive rsity lecturer at the Swedish medium teacher education at the University o f Helsinki\, Finland. My primary fields of research are multilingualism\, school/video ethnography and (digital) literacy. I am especially intereste d in language across the curriculum and how multilingualism is related to learning and identity in children’s and youths’ everyday life\, in and out side school. I am a member of the Nordic Excellence Centre “Justice throug h Education” (justed.org). I have been assigned to work with the core curr iculum for basic education at the National Board of Education. Since March 2016\, I am the President of NERA\, Nordic Educational Research Associati on.'\n\n-Anna Slotte\n DTSTART:20180319T220000Z DTEND:20180319T230000Z SUMMARY:[DISE Matters] Anna Slotte\, 'Multilingual practices and learning i n and outside school –some examples from Finland' URL:/dise/channels/event/dise-matters-anna-slotte-mult ilingual-practices-and-learning-and-outside-school-some-examples-284445 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
