Course content
Norwegian 2 is a more comprehensive continuation of topics approached in Norwegian 1. The course provides historical background and more extensive knowledge about key linguistic and literary topics, a deeper insight into teaching Norwegian (from early reading and writing through matters relating to primary level Norwegian didactics), and a stronger academic basis for working on assessment that promotes learning and adapted Norwegian education for all pupils. The course invites its students to further develop their own language skills, textual competence, and communication skills. The course is split into two main areas of interest connected to the broad categories of (teaching) language and literature and literacy. Main area 1: Working with literary texts - reading, writing and orality The students will explore literary history and different perspectives within literary theory, and they will further their knowledge of oral and written communication. Theories on reading, reading development and different didactic approaches to working with both fiction and non-fiction are central topics. Canonized Norwegian fiction and non-fiction are studied within their historical context, while a range of textual expressions utilizing different media are also explored within the course, including intermedial adaptations of childrens literature. Students will encounter and discuss communication across different media through knowledge of multimodal, hybrid, and digital texts. Main area 2: Working with language - reading, writing, and orality: Students will enhance their knowledge of the Norwegian language as a system, as well as its use(s), and they will obtain comprehensive knowledge in second-language teaching of Norwegian and spoken variation in Norwegian. The Sami languages and neighbouring languages are other topics covered in the course. A central area of interest involves the active use of knowledge of language and text in counseling pupils development of their writing skills within a range of genres. Opportunities and challenges within written genres are explored while working with analysing and assessing primary school pupils writing. The students own academic writing skills are thematised and refined through drafts, different forms of feedback and assessment, revisions, etc. The aim is to influence students to work creatively and systematically with pupils writing and writing proficiency, and equip them for offering varied teaching, ensuring that all pupils can develop their writing competence.

Active work with the curriculum is required through self-study as well as group work, and with the digital learning platform. Students are expected to communicate actively in different written and oral fora with their professors and their fellow students throughout the course. Students are also expected to be active users of the library and come well prepared for teaching sessions.
Compulsory assignments
- Mandatory assignments according to emnebeskrivelsen
Further on evaluation
The assessment of the candidates' performance consists of two parts, both available at the end of the semester. Part one is an individual research-based (FoU) paper in which all available aids are permitted. Part two is an oral examination following an individual presentation prepared in the days preceding the exam. In the three-day preparation period all aids are permitted. Guidelines for the oral exam will be given at the start of the semester.
The FoU-assignment must be connected to one of the course's two main areas. The oral examination will mainly emphasize topics within the main area that is not covered by the FoU-assignment. If a candidate were to fail the course, redoing the assignment from the main area that has not been passed will suffice. An improved assignment may be submitted for assessment only once. The candidate will not need to resubmit assignments in a main area which has already been passed. A candidate may choose to redo one or both assessed assignments. It is possible to appeal a grade given on parts of the assessment (not oral examination).
Compulsory assignments:
Main area 1 involves an oral group presentation and a group project which explores. multimodal texts. Teaching sessions and participation in connection to both these assignments are compulsory. Within the language component (main area 2) there are also two types of compulsory assignments. One is another oral group presentation while the other is submitting reflective texts after concluding each of four major topics of study. In addition, participation in in counselling sessions related to the FoU-assignment is mandatory. All the compulsory assignments are assessed as satisfactory or unsatisfactory. All compulsory assignments must have been given a passing grade for the candidate to take final exams. Candidates in danger of not qualifying for exams due to lacking compulsory assignments will be notified of this, as described in the NTNU study guidelines.
