I am very interested to know how and what you teach in Commerce, to compare to my workplace. Can you give me some details on courses, students, and especially literacy issues, it you have any.

Is Hulebäck a private school or is it run by the municipality?
ReplyDeleteDear Annika!
DeleteI am happy to answer on your question. Hulebäck is run by the municipality.
I am proud to tell you that the education at high school is free for students in Sweden.
Best regards,

Deletethank you for your detailed description of the course you run. The link was also very interesting. I find it fascinating that the website has the facility for English language. Do all Swedes speak English? How old are students when they start to learn English? Do any students struggle to learn both languages?

Dear Beverley!
ReplyDeleteIf you come to Sweden you are going to be suprised how well all Swedish people speak English. They start to learn English at year 6 and it is a mystery for me (originally I am Russian) why they are so good in English...
Best, Elena Medin
Well, my children started learning English when they were in 3rd grade and then their third language (Spanish) in grade 6. In high school some students choose even a fourth language. Most often French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Japanese are among those the students can choose from. The VET students can not choose a fourth language though.
