The significance of the outcome is considerable as the teaching model described in the
ESL context could solve many of the problems the NL2 teachers had with their current
teaching method. The results of this thesis could contribute to further studies of implementing
the push-in teaching method to a Norwegian school. However, there are some implications as
only one Norwegian school was the subject of this thesis, and the results are therefore a
reflection of that particular school, and not all Norwegian schools in general. Additionally this
can also be said of the school in the states, as the researcher does not have information on
ESL teaching in other schools.
