IT och flerspråkighet i gymnasieskolan

Sammanfattning: The purpose of the study is to examine the multilingual student’s use of IT in school. The study also highlights the teacher’s view of development and how they use IT in their own teaching. A qualitative approach study was conducted to acquire a deeper understanding of students' language learning by using IT. In the study, it was assumed socio-cultural perspective in which learning takes place through interaction with others. The result shows that multilingual students have difficulty understanding information available on the internet and they are either waiting to meet a teacher to get a clearer picture of what to do or doing tasks even though in some cases misunderstand the task. Language teachers also confirm student’s impression and at the same time express the concern that students are reading less. This study shows that there may be correlation between students' learning motivation and an understanding of instructions online. The study shows that students do not have positive view of e-books while they have something more positive view of interactive learning materials and particularly in mathematics.
