The project, which is funded by the Swedish Research Council, will involve interviews, with parents and teachers of students and, following those, the development and implementation of surveys for use with parents and teachers in the two countries. Finally, the project will involve video-based classroom observations. The project is being led by Professor Paul Andrews , from whom further information may be obtained, and Dr Judy Sayers. It is possible that one of the students could be based in England. Applicants must be fluent in English and at least one must be fluent in Swedish.
