The multicultural society and the education system in these countries are important parts of the course. It also addresses how knowledge about the different countries can be used in the classroom and how conditions in the English-speaking countries can be compared with conditions in Sweden. **Outline for distance course:** The distance course is based on self-study and communication through the web-based learning environment, which contains all information regarding the course and course activities.
