Parental Perceptions of the Ideal Foreign Language Teacher : Voices from Eight Countries

2020

Early language education has become a global trend as parents from around the world increasingly enroll their children in language classes at preschool or pre-preschool ages. The younger the FL learners are, the greater the parents’ role in their children’s learning process – and the more they may be motivated to be involved in their children’s schoolwork, learning aims, and the way they are being instructed. But what do they want from FL teachers when their children are just beginning their language studies? This topic brought together 14 students from different parts of the world. Students from Canada, China, Colombia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, and Vietnam enrolled in the…

Using a blended approach to enrich MOOCs on Finnish education

2021

Blended education embraces various combinations of face-to-face and online teaching. It has become a normal part of higher education degree programmes.

Finnish Classroom Teacher Students' Experiences of an Online Music Course During The COVID pandemic

2022

When studying music, skills are often practised with a teacher, face-to-face, in a classroom. What are the experiences of classroom teacher trainees when music teaching becomes asynchronous, i.e., an individually completed online course? This question, among other things, was explored at a Finnish University's Teacher Education Department in autumn 2020, resulting in the production of a two-credit online music course on the Moodle learning environment.

The study represents an intensive case study u…

Video projection mapping e arti performative. Una nuova macchina scenotecnica della visione per generare nuovi spazi aumentati

L’oggetto principale della dissertazione è il video projection mapping, un’applicazione di realtà aumentata che utilizza le tecniche di videoproiezione digitale non su tradizionali schermi di proiezione ma sulla realtà stessa, sugli oggetti fisici, ai quali si adatta e si lega in maniera inestricabile, ibridando il livello fisico-reale e il livello digitale. Al contrario di come spesso è stato considerato, il video projection mapping non è solo un gadget tecnologico dei nostri tempi; quando si ibrida con altri media, come le arti performative, diviene linguaggio metaforico, oltrepassando il suo livello tecnologico per produrre significati, per mediare idee. Considerando il suo uso nello spe…

Raising the Profile of Sign Language Teachers in Finland

2016

Due to this contrast, the field of sign language teaching nowadays can be seen as the ‘Wild West’. Till today, teachers from different backgrounds do teach sign language. We do not have a clear picture of what knowledge or competencies are expected from these teachers. In this article we would like to share our opinions about what the profile of a sign language teacher could look like in order to raise and advance the discussion and improve the quality of sign language teaching in Finland. nonPeerReviewed
