The focus of this research is on the early acquisition of English as a
foreign language in primary schools in Austria and Norway. The aim of
this study was to find out the di!erences between the two countries
in the acquisition of English as a foreign language with regard to the
two curricula and the pedagogical concepts in primary school. Within
the framework of qualitative research, five interviews were conducted
with Austrian teachers and five interviews with Norwegian teachers
who teach English in primary schools. The data were analysed with the
help of qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. The results
of the guided interviews demonstrate the importance of the topic and
the di!erence in weighting that English has in both countries. In Norwegian
primary schools, English is taught as an independent subject.
This is considered an uno"cial main subject due to the low prevalence
of the Norwegian language. In Austrian primary schools, English has
the status of a compulsory exercise subordinate to that of an independent
subject and is taught using a curriculum with content dating
from 1998. Pedagogical concepts that emphasise the importance of
stress-free, fun-filled instruction emerged as commonalities between
the two countries.
