Summary/Abstract: Summer as teaching arena. This article uses the 70th session of the International Summer School at the University of Oslo as a stepping stone for reflections on the summer session as an arena for learning. After a brief survey of summer schools in an international perspective, it points out aspects of the summer school concept that gives it particular dynamics: the intensive block-teaching, the integration of classroom teaching and field experiences, as well as the international learning environment. The article then gives an outline of Norwegian language studies in the international summer school setting, a field that has attracted students from the Scandinavian department at Babes-Bolyai University through its 25-year long history.
