| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores how the topic of the Civil Rights Movement is taught in Norwegian lower secondary schools in the English subject. The study aimed to investigate how teachers plan, teach, and assess the topic and how they utilize teaching methods and tools. The English and core curricula were also central in this paper, as they govern what teachers must teach their students. Semi-structured interviews with three English teachers and two textbooks were conducted to gather data for the project. The results showed that all three teachers used current events and news to teach the topic. They planned their lessons with colleagues and assessed the students’ oral skills after working on the topic. Furthermore, all teachers used parts of the textbook to teach the topic. The focus of the teaching seemed to be more on the content and not on language. The study’s small sample size makes it hard to generalize from the findings. | |
