Arivan Sulaiman Said is a teacher Swedish as a second language. He also
teaches English for beginners. His family fled from Irak. He can speak Kurdish,
Arabic, Swedish and English. He himself is the model for newly arrived refugees:
the maximum priority is to learn Swedish so as to integrate in the society as
quickly as possible. He plans his lessons according to the students’ general
knowledge and the time spent in Sweden. There are maximum 15 students in his
classes and he uses placement test and adapts all the material according to the
multiple levels. Arivan also showed us two websites:
https://www.elevspel.se/ https://www.studi.se/ Basic concepts
are translated into different languages. This tool could
be of great use in our “aules d’acollida”. It is also a
good way to make multiculturality visible in classrooms.
