(ii) Translation into English and into Swedish.
(iii) Conversation and discussion of prescribed texts.

The course is planned to attain a standard comparable with that of other First Year language subjects, but in its early stages it is adapted to the needs of those previously unacquainted with the language. Such students should get in touch with the head of the department during the preceding long vacation, and are strongly advised to attend the summer course in February 1963.
With a view to the oral test, each student is required to concentrate, under the lecturer's guidance on two works selected from the list prescribed for reading.
The quality of the work of the candidate throughout the year will be taken into account at the annual examination.
