Aalto University
Blended language learning course experience
At Aalto University we teach Swedish for International Students. Courses are for beginners and we have used Learning Swedish (https://learningswedish.se/courses/1) on them since autumn 2017. We have approximately 20 students each course offering. So far we only have two levels in Swedish: A1 and A2. Read more about Swedish for International Students here:
Our courses are moderately blended since we meet our students on a regular basis twice a week, but these sessions are complemented with online learning and assignments.
