This review provides an account of salient research topics in current Swedish research in the field of foreign language (FL) education, with the aim of making locally published work available outside Sweden. A corpus of work on English and other FLs published between 2012 and 2021 has been scrutinized. Focus has been placed on research conducted and disseminated in Sweden, in some cases adding international publications, in order to portray the work in a wider context. Research on FL learning, teaching, and assessment is reviewed in light of recent policy changes as well as a changing linguistic situation characterized by a plethora of languages spoken in society, among which Swedish as majority language and English as lingua franca share indisputable sovereignty, but where a newly-born interest in the role of other background languages than Swedish can be discerned. The study ends with a discussion of trends observed in the reviewed material and considerations in view of future research.

这篇综述介绍了当前瑞典在外语 (FL) 教育领域的研究中的突出研究主题，目的是在瑞典境外提供本地出版的作品。对 2012 年至 2021 年间出版的英语和其他 FL 作品集进行了仔细审查。重点放在在瑞典进行和传播的研究上，在某些情况下增加国际出版物，以便在更广泛的背景下描绘工作。鉴于最近的政策变化以及以社会使用过多语言为特征的不断变化的语言状况，对 FL 学习、教学和评估的研究进行了审查，其中瑞典语作为主要语言，英语作为通用语享有无可争辩的主权，但是可以看出对瑞典语以外的其他背景语言的作用的新生兴趣。该研究最后讨论了在审查的材料中观察到的趋势以及对未来研究的考虑。
