Module 1: Documentation, assessment, and reading and writing problems I, 4.5 ECTS cr
The focus is on central theories of assessment and documentation of pupils' literacy development based on literary and linguistic theories and the translation of curricula into teaching. National tests and diagnostic tests are studied with a focus on analysis and assessment of pupils' language development and linked to the teaching of Swedish. Issues related to reading and writing problems are treated. Students prepare for a practical placement in this area of knowledge.

Modules 2a and 2b: Practical Placement II, 7.5 ECTS cr
Students interpret and apply central curricula and local teaching plans and translate teaching theories and subject knowledge into practice with consideration of pupils' varying knowledge and interests. The applications require multimodal forms of expression to be used. In connection with their practical placement, students also collect material for module 3. They meet different groups of school staff and develop communicative and cooperative skills in relation to members of staff as well as pupils, and engage in conflict solution on the basis of core values. Students also discuss and reflect upon the profession and their own professional development, describe special education and student welfare efforts in school, and formulate areas of development for the third practical placement.

The practical placement can be completed abroad.

Module 3: Documentation, assessment, and reading and writing problems II, 3 ECTS cr
The module covers the relation between theory and practice in the subject of Swedish regarding documentation and assessment, as well as reading and writing problems. Ways in which aesthetic learning processes and linguistic perspectives can deepen the assessment and documentation of pupils' learning are treated. The students' experiences of the second practical placement period are discussed and problematised in terms of approach to pupils, subject knowledge in relation to the Swedish subject, and relevant theories.
