Beginner English lesson periods in Sweden are normally 20-30 minutes once or twice a week. Some teachers just choose to take “English moments” now and then when time allows. WebEnglish.se recommends these periods/moments to consist of songs/rhymes, vocabulary and dialogues/stories either in themes or randomly. Reading English words is not expected at this level, although some of the materials include visible text.
