Anders Agebjörn is a Lecturer at Malmö University's Faculty of Learning and Society, specifically within the Department of Culture, Language and Media. He specializes in Swedish as a second language instruction and research.

Agebjörn's research is primarily quantitative with a cognitive perspective focus on language systems including lexicon, grammar, and semantics. His work particularly examines language testing and assessment methodologies alongside language development and learning strategies among adult learners with limited formal education backgrounds. His research interests span second language acquisition, cognitive linguistics, and educational linguistics with specific attention to immigrant populations.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on second language writing development, particularly among adult immigrants with varying educational backgrounds. Agebjörn's work shows particular interest in how educational pathways affect language acquisition and the methodological challenges of studying understudied language learner populations.

Agebjörn is affiliated with the Literacy and Inclusive Teaching (LIT) research center at Malmö University, which conducts interdisciplinary research on literacy and inclusive education practices. His work contributes to the center's mission of developing more effective language education approaches for diverse learner populations.
