Fritidsengelskan i ett Affinitetsutrymme -En text- och genreanalys av minecraftforums.net

Abstract: In an age of rapid digital development, Skolverket (2018) asks for increased teacher competence in information and communication technology (ICT), both competence in classroom digitalization and pupil’s out-of-school activities involving ICT. One of many areas in which ICT has an effect on the relationship between school and the pupils’ out-of-school activities is in the English subject. Their exposure to English media has led to increased incidental and naturalistic learning opportunities for pupils. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of extramural English on the Swedish school, more specifically, the affinity space of a gaming forum and their text genres.
