Comparing formulaicity of learner writing through phrase-frames: a corpus-driven study of Lithuanian and Polish EFL student writing
2018
Learner corpus research continues to provide evidence of how formulaic language is (mis)used by learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). This paper deals with less investigated multi-word units in EFL contexts, namely, phrase-frames (Fletcher 2002–2007), i.e. sets of n-grams identical except for one word (it is * to, in the * of). The study compares Lithuanian and Polish learner writing in English in terms of phrase-frames and contrasts them with native speakers. The analysis shows that certain differences between Lithuanian and Polish learners result from transfer from their native languages, yet both groups of learners share many common features. Most importantly, the phrase-frame…

Luciana Pedrazzini, Il lessico dell’inglese: strumenti per l’apprendimento, Carocci editore, Roma 2016, 170 pp., 17 €.
2018
Il volume di Luciana Pedrazzini, "Il lessico dell'inglese: strumenti per l'apprendimento", maturato dall ’esperienza didattica sul campo, ritrae, quindi, le innumerevoli variabili che entrano in gioco nel processo di apprendimento/insegnamento del sistema lessicale della lingua inglese, senza rinunciare, però, a una scrittura chiara, sintetica e di ampio respiro per rendere accessibile la materia anche al lettore meno specialista. Rivolgendosi non solo a insegnanti ma anche a docenti, difatti, il suo contributo si pone come un vademecum per approfondire la conoscenza, lessicale e non, di una lingua seconda o straniera.
JAMES JOYCE’S A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN. A CORPUS-STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF ITS ITALIAN TRANSLATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR EFL TEACHING
2016
Brian Friel’s concern about the role and the value of the act of translation certainly reminds the reader of James Joyce’s famous words on the cultural – and most of all linguistic – differences between the protagonist of his book and the English headmaster of the school he works at. The present contribution aims at offering a comparative analysis of some of the Italian translations of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man through a corpus-based approach. Corpora can be used in a classroom of EFL or of Translation Studies, to draw students’ attention towards the various translation strategies and the linguistic information useful in translation and learning process. For such reasons, I in…
I think there’s a teacher hiding behind that text book : first year teacher trainees conceptions of creative EFL teaching
2010
Luova englanninopettaminen on opettamista, joka ei tukeudu yksinomaan oppikirjoihin ja muihin valmiisiin materiaaleihin. Luova englanninopettaja käyttää kieltä opettaessaan vaihtelevia opetusmenetelmiä ja -materiaaleja. Yhdelle opettajalle tämä voi tarkoittaa yletöntä ylimääräistä työmäärää, toiselle vaihtelua ja vapautta opettamiseen. Luovaan englanninopettamiseen liittyviä käsityksiä ja tuntemuksia ei ole kuitenkaan tutkittu laajasti varsinkaan suomalaisessa kontekstissa eikä siis voida sanoa, miten ne vaikuttavat englanninopettajan kokemuksiin omasta työstään. Aiemmat luovuutta käsittelevät tutkimukset ovat käsitelleet opettajuuden eri puolia laajemmin, jolloin luovaan opettamiseen ei …
A Design-Oriented Analysis of Multimodality in English as a Foreign Language
2018
This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Alexie, 2007). We explore a four-week teaching sequence, asking how different modes were involved when the educator designed literacy events around the novel, and how multimodality is present in the students’ meaning making. Our aim is to make explicit and discuss some of the silent literacy practices in English teaching at l…
Presenza di Giardia e Cryptosporidium in reflui civili e in campioni d'acqua superficiale e profonda del territorio palermitano
2005
This paper reports the investigation carried out on the occurrence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia (oo)cysts in water samples of two municipal treatment plants, and in surface water and ground water wells of the province of Palermo. The wastewater samples taken before and after treatment process were assayed over the course of one year Giardia cysts were detected in all samples throught the year at higher concentration levels than Cryptosporidium oocysts, with a peak observed in spring. The overall removal efficiency of (oo)cysts in the treatment plants was about of 90%. Their presence were also searched in surface waters (three artificial lakes and one river); (oo)cysts were detected in one…
