The outcome of the research led to the conclusion that the Norwegian school might benefit from trying a teaching method more similar to the one used in the American school. Based on the disadvantages presented by the NL2 teachers, the current approach to second language teaching was not beneficial enough for their school. However, the factors influencing the students outside of school led to a higher level of skill amongst the NL2 students than the ESL students, regardless of the fact that they were part in a less effective teaching model.
