The narratives of a multicultural classroom – A writing project and its unexpected outcome

The subject of Danish Language and Literature has a central position in creating an access to cultural tools so that the students can see their lives and their own position in a wider and more reflective perspective. For that reason it is of the utmost importance that central insights in language and literature form a never-ending dialogue in the student’s mind. The starting point may be that the teacher recognizes the students’ potentials in all the varieties that might be found in a classroom, and that the students are supported in working in their own pace and gradually change and develop their learning conceptions, learning strategies and personal insight.
