Skriva lätt och förklara rätt : Om att anpassa webbtexter för nyanlända invandrare med måttliga kunskaper i svenska

Sammanfattning: In this degree project I have studied how an anti-discrimination bureau can adapttheir online information to the target group – immigrants who only have modestunderstanding of the Swedish language. This group is often subject of discriminationmatters, and therefore it’s important that they can take part of the information.To find answers to my questions I have studied different relevant theories, performeda readability analysis on the online information and have had qualitativeinterviews with representatives from the target group. I have also tested my rewrittentexts on both representatives and other readers.The result from my studies has shown that it is words that are the most difficult inthe current online information, while length and structure of the sentences are alsoof importance when it comes to the readability. In the re-written information Ihave focused on explaining difficult words and writing simpler sentences.
