The purpose of this study was to identify the language-supporting methods and tools employed by primary and middle school teachers to facilitate the language and knowledge development of their students. The research utilized a qualitative design, with semi-structured interviews conducted within four focus groups composed of two participants each. Selective coding was employed for data analysis, employing preselected categories. The findings indicated that a majority of the teachers sought assistance from special needs or special education teachers and requested support from native language instructors. Not all teachers exhibited confidence or familiarity with translanguaging as a method for reinforcing language skills. 

Furthermore, none of the teachers demonstrated awareness regarding the potential benefits of inference training in enhancing reading comprehension among students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Teachers who had received training in language development, had experience in teaching Swedish as a second language, or had personal experience with acquiring Swedish as a second language reported a greater inclination towards adopting a multimodal teaching strategy. Notably, teachers specifically working with ASD students reported limited utilization of visual aids and demonstrated a reduced tendency to minimize classroom distractions compared to their counterparts.
