As Stockholm School of Education and Stockholm University merged in 2008, a number of education departments were created. The Department of Language Education was one of them.
At the Department of Language Education, part of the Faculty of the Humanities, we educate students who will teach from primary school to adult education. We also offer a doctoral programme in language education, in-service courses and commissioned courses as well as research within:
- Teaching and Learning English and other Modern Languages
- Teaching and Learning Swedish/Swedish as a Second Language
- Reading and Writing Development
- Multilingualism

- Språkstudion
- The National Test of Swedish for Adult Immigrants
- The National Centre for Swedish as a Second Language
