Skolotāja valoda angļu valodas stundās pozitīvu attiecību veidošanai klasē

2017

Pētījums aplūko kā skolotāju klases valoda palīdz veidot pozitīvas savstarpējās attiecības klasē, jo pozitīvai atmosfērai klasē ir nozīmīga loma svešvalodu apguvē. Aptaujā – pētījumā tika izmantotas šādas datu ieguves metodes: anketas piekto līdz divpadsmito klašu skolēniem, angļu valodas stundu novērošanas pieraksti, intervijas ar angļu valodas skolotājiem. Iegūtie dati atklāj skolēnu viedokli par angļu valodas skolotājiem un angļu valodas stundām, norādot, ka skolotājiem ir nepieciešams vairāk domāt par visu skolēnu iesaistīšanu mācību stundā, skolotāja lietotās valodas sarežģītību un runas ātrumu, kā arī vienādu attieksmi pret visiem skolēniem. Novērojot angļu valodas stundas, autore pie…

Micro-interactional insights from the English as a foreign language classroom

2014

In this paper, we examine instances of the methods pupils deploy to do language policy in an English as a foreign language classroom in Sweden, where there is a locally practised English-only rule. Although we exemplify some more tacit methods of constructing a monolingual classroom (Slotte-Lüttge 2007), we focus primarily on instances where pupils police other pupils and on occasion even the teacher, when they are perceived not to be upholding the rule. This blatantly explicit method of pupils doing language policy, which we term language policing, generally serves to (re-) establish and maintain English as the medium of interaction and instruction. The data for this study consists of vide…

Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo

2021

In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…

Register Variation in Electronic Business Correspondence

2011

Electronic correspondence is a highly dynamic genre within the business world in which Register Variation (RV) is frequently used as a tool to improve communication but it often can lead to misunderstanding. In order to shed some light on this still unexplored area, the present study firstly offers a practical approach to classify and analyse RV within professional communication. After this, it reviews previous studies on email writing to apply their findings to this approach and, in the third part of the study, a corpus of recent business emails in English is analysed to examine how the key parameters of RV are currently used within this genre. The results will show that, not only the cont…

Esercizi di traduzione in London, British Library, Harley 1002

2017

London, British Library, Harley 1002 è un codice miscellaneo il cui contenuto è descritto da David Thomson . Il manoscritto comprende, tra l’altro, ai ff. 31-81, un trattato di ortografia disposto in ordine alfabetico: nello spazio bianco rimasto tra le lettere R e S del testo sono stati copiati cinque gruppi di versi in inglese, seguiti dalla rispettiva versione in latino (ff. 72r-72v) . I versi appartengono a una categoria di strumenti didattici altrimenti documentata nei codici inglesi del XIV e XV sec., ma che, almeno nel caso dei primi due esercizi, è interpretata con libertà e messa in atto con una certa capacità. Sia il primo componimento, ‘Today in the dawnyng I hyrde þo fowles syng…

Light and Divine Wisdom: An Alternative Interpretation of the Iconography of the Fuller Brooch

2022

La spilla di Fuller viene considerata una rappresentazione, in ambito inglese, dei cinque sensi. Si ritiene che il personaggio centrale, che rappresenta la vista, presenti anche uno o più significati figurativi, legati a idee e concetti che erano correnti nel contesto culturale di re Alfredo. Questi significati figurativi dovevano presumibilmente essere enfatizzati e chiariti dai due oggetti che questa figura regge. Finora, tuttavia, questi oggetti non sono stati interpretati in modo soddisfacente, anche se la maggior parte degli studiosi ritiene che essi possano rappresentare delle piante o cornucopie. Il presente studio esplora l'ipotesi che questi oggetti siano in realtà delle torce, att…

Specialised English Lexicography. A Contrastive Analysis of two Monolingual Medical Dictionaries

2020

Today information tends to be increasingly specialised. Moreover, English is the language of most scientific literature worldwide. Within this framework, English dictionaries are very important reference tools which help improve exchange among members of a given professional community. Of the different specialised languages, the medical one perhaps undergoes the fastest changes parallel to the continuous and rapid advances in medical sciences. However, research on medical lexicography seems to lack studies on monolingual medical dictionaries – especially from a comparative synchronic and diachronic point of view. This paper intends to offer a contrastive analysis of some features of two of …

Sharing and promoting disciplinary competences for university teaching in English: voices from the University of Jyväskylä language centre’s TACE pro…

2015

The internationalisation of universities often means that the language of learning and teaching needs to be changed – at present most commonly to English. Apart from English-speaking countries, then, most European universities offer their degree programmes in a language that is not the first language of either the students or the teachers. This challenging situation is also the reality in Finland and at the University of Jyväskylä. Many Finnish universities have set up supporting infrastructures to deal with the new challenges, particularly in their international master’s programmes. In this article we describe the TACE programme, which has been run by the Language Centre on an annual basis…
