Description: Study guidance in the mother tongue (Swe. Studiehandledning på modersmålet), hereafter SGMT, is described in Swedish steering documents as a form of temporary support in schools for students who run the risk of failing school subjects due to their level of ability in the Swedish language. SGMT is a relatively unique form of multilingual educational support, principally for newly arrived students where tutors, using languages the student understands best as well as Swedish, work though subject content with students to support their language and knowledge development. In this chapter, an analytical review of research publications relating to SGMT is presented. The analysis is inspired by an approach called Systematic Mapping and Analysis of Research Topographies, or SMART. In the analysis of the research on SGMT in this chapter, the 20 most cited research publications on SGMT were selected through a systematic search using Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. Each publication was then categorised to gainan overview of the genres (types of research), the subjects in the empirical articles, and the themes in the results. These categories were then analysed, to facilitate an evaluation of the research literature on SGMT, identifying aspects where results/knowledge overlaps, aspects that need more attention and aspects that have not been researched at all. Our ambition is that this SMART-inspired research overview of SGMT can be a guide for both researchers and practitioners, supporting interpretation of research in the field of SGMT and identifying new directions for future research and development of SGMT as a profession.
