A lively debate has been stimulated by a paper written by Nina Goga, published in the Teachers’ Journal, Norsklæreren No 1 2001. In it she details her rather critical views of the Storyline approach. This has encouraged a lively debate that has resulted in two further articles being published. The first written by Knut-Rune Olsen of Vestfold College of Education, in Norsklæreren No 2 2001, in which he argues against the negative points raised in the first article and his views are then supported by Liv Torunn Eik, another colleague at Vestfold in Norsklæreren No 3 2001.
