Powinności kształcenia językowego w L1 a niektóre aspekty lingwistyki poststrukturalistycznej
2022
The article is a part of the discussion on language education in L1 in a modern school. The vision presented in it is based on poststructuralist linguistic concepts, in which language is perceived in a non-systemic way, giving it a humanistic, anthropological-subjective, and cognitive dimension. The author discusses three good practice proposals as examples that fit into the presented didactic concept: in the first, writing character profiles was considered a story that interprets oneself and the world, in the second dictionary-phraseological exercises were assigned the function of changing the perception of reality, the third is an attempt to create a methodology based on the achievements …

Aptaujā – pētījumā tika izmantotas šādas datu ieguves metodes: anketas piekto līdz divpadsmito klašu skolēniem, angļu valodas stundu novērošanas pieraksti, intervijas ar angļu valodas skolotājiem.

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…

The literary dramatic text as a corpus for historical analysis of facework activities
2016
This paper aims to justify the use of theatre plays as valid corpus to characterize aspects of Spanish socio-cultural face, specifically the historical evolution of face work in Spanish. Literature works have not always been considered as valid corpus due to its fictional nature and stylistic purpose. However, this paper aims not only to refute these two arguments against the use of plays, but also to propose different arguments that support the use of this type of corpus. In fact, it is suggested that plays, may constitute data for pragmatic analysis because they present sociocultural implications, interactional development of the action, a wide range of communicative situations and psicop…

Foreign language anxiety : the case of young learners of English in Swedish primary classrooms
2019
Although foreign language anxiety is a widely studied construct assumed to develop from negative experiences of language instruction, few researchers have focused on young learners in this regard. This multiple case study investigates levels and triggers of language anxiety in Swedish primary classrooms under rather favorable learning conditions with a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere, and without formal knowledge requirements or grades. A total of 225 learners, aged 8–12, studying English as their first foreign language completed a self-report questionnaire, a modified version of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (Horwitz, Horwitz, & Cope, 1986), eliciting learners’ reacti…
An aphasia research agenda–a consensus statement from the collaboration of aphasia trialists
2021
Coordination of international aphasia research would minimise duplication of effort, support synergistic international activities across languages and multidisciplinary perspectives, and promote high-quality conduct and reporting of aphasia research, thereby increasing the relevance, transparency, and implementation of findings. The Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATs) sought to develop an aphasia research agenda to direct future research activities, based on priorities shared by people with aphasia, family members, and healthcare professionals. Our established international research network spanning 33 countries contributed to this activity. Research literature reporting the prioritie…
