ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to describe in detail the current discourse on mother language education being discussed in the Swedish National Assembly by analyzing the motions proposed by different Swedish parties from 2014 to 2018. To this ends, all the relevant motions including the word ‘modersmål’ during the period were collected on the Swedish National Assembly website. The results of the analysis show that most of the parties (with the only exception of Sweden Democrats) clearly recognize the importance of mother tongue education at least on a theoretical level. However, different parties showed different opinions concerning why mother tongue education is necessary (or unnecessary) depending on their political stance and from this, the author extracted four main types of discourses. Based on these results, this study further discusses the future direction of mother tongue education in Sweden and the implications on Korean mother tongue education policy.
