L2 Mathematics

Objective

Many of the bilingual adults who participate in the Nordic countries' second language teaching (L2 education) also need to upgrade their skills in mathematics.

The objective of the project was to exchange experiences with the teaching of bilingual adults in mathematics in Denmark, Norway and Iceland, as well as establishing a network of persons and institutions that work both theoretically and practically with teaching mathematics for bilingual adults.

Activities

Partner meetings were held in which experiences with teaching bilingual adults in the Nordic countries were discussed, including appropriate teaching materials and methods.

Partnership

The partners in the project were:

• University College in Agder, Norway
• Municipality of Strand, Adult Education, Norway
• Sørlandets kompetansesenter / Forum for mathematics problems, Norway
• Aarhus Language Center, Denmark
• VIFIN, Denmark

Financing

The project was supported by Nordplus Adult and was implemented in 2006.
