Instructing and Teaching : The Dual Function of Directives in Swedish Physical Education and Health Classes for L1 and L2 Students

Karlsson, Johanna LU orcid (2026) In Sport: język, społeczeństwo, kultura 3. p.28-45
Abstract
This study examines the use of directives in Swedish Physical Educa-
tion and Health classes, focusing on their application for native Swedish speakers and newly arrived second language learners. It investigates the types of directives used and how they differ when addressing L1 versus L2 students, as well as how teachers utilize directives to simultaneously instruct physical activities and teach subject content. Grounded in pragmatic theory, the study aims to contribute to the development of more inclusive and effective teaching strategies in multilingual PEH environments.
