- The article discusses the expansion of English as an educational language in Sweden during the period 1850-1950 (approx.), suggesting that the main reasons for the success of English can be found in changing educational ideals placing greater emphasis on practical utility; and an early impact from the media, as well as other kinds of extramural influence.
