Dear all,

Welcome to the Swedish Language Course SLC101 for international students at the University of
Gothenburg. Due to the Covid-19 situation all lectures will be given online through the whole spring
semester. We are using the platform Canvas management system for syllabus, information and
communication, and the Zoom application for lectures and seminars.

Course start: 2021-01-18, once a week, Mondays

Time: 09.00–12.00
Zoom-link: Link ( Canvas link to reach Zoom)

Teacher: Klas Almroth, klas.almroth@svenska.gu.se

Please make a cancellation if you consider not attending. Presence is mandatory. If you are unable to
attend and have a valid absence, please notify your teacher immediately. Catching up a missed
seminar can be difficult, so please make sure you can attend all of the seminars. Students enrolled in
the course are expected two complete homework according to the teacher’s instruction each week.

During the course you will learn and practice how to read, speak and write Swedish. The course
provides no credits, but students who attend at least 80 % of the course will receive a certificate of
participation
