We welcome you to the Nordic Research Network for Educational Linguistics (NordEdLing) and our autumn seminar series 2025
Summary
English occupies gate-keeping roles at various stages of education and qualification in the Nordic countries yet is seldom addressed in migrant integration policy (Beiler, 2023; Bergström, 2025). Instead, English may be taken for granted in ways that prove problematic for those with little previous English study. This presentation draws on a study on sheltered English teaching in upper secondary school (Beiler, 2023) and a project on supplemental online English teaching in adult basic education to analyze the policy nexus that arises in the gap between English qualification requirements and educational offers in Norway, characterizing this as a case of Anglonormativity (McKinney, 2017).
Guest seminar with Ingrid Rodrick Beiler, Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education, Oslo Metropolitan University.
8 October, 15.00-16.30 (CET)
