With growing international mobility, Scandinavian classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse and multilingual. Because of the important role of English in Scandinavian countries, the children who enter Norwegian, Danish and Swedish classrooms, and who speak one (or more) languages at home, are expected to develop proficiency in English as well as in the majority language.
