Resolving tensions caused by high-stakes assessment in an L2 classroom through mediation

2022

The Finnish classroom assessment culture is considered that of assessment for learning. The situation in upper-secondary schools is different, however. While teachers in Finland appreciate assessment supporting learning, they feel unable to merge it with assessment of learning outcomes, and favour the latter due to the Matriculation Examination (ME; e.g. Leontjev, submitted), a high-stakes exam growingly used in university admission. Learners, likewise, expect teachers to prepare them for the ME (Lakkala & Ilomäki, 2013), the results of which play a significant role in their further studies. The tension between assessment for learning and exam preparation is, therefore, often resolved i…

The roles of linguistic confidence and integrative motivation on cross-cultural adaptation of Asian degree students Finland

2015

While cross-cultural adaptation of international students has become more and more popular topics in the field of intercultural communication, there are few studies related to students who come to non-native-English-speaking countries to study international programs. Specifically, the number of Asian students enrolling in international degree programs in Finland has been increasing recently. Besides other difficulties, language has become one of the most baffling issues in the process of both sociocultural adaptation and psychological adaptation of strangers in the host country (Maza, 1963). By narrowing the impacts of integrative motivation and linguistic confidence, they have drawn some r…

Toista kieltä vuorovaikutuksessa : kielellisten resurssien jakaminen toisen kielen omaksumisen alkuvaiheessa

2008

Suomalaiset väittävät usein ulkomaalaisille, että suomi on maailman vaikein kieli. Sekä maahanmuuttajien suomen kielen opettajille että kielen oppimisen tutkijoille on kuitenkin selvää, että väite on pohjimmiltaan pötyä. Suomi on opittavissa siinä missä mikä tahansa muukin kieli. Jos suomenkielinen voi oppia esimerkiksi englantia, voi englanninkielinenkin oppia suomea. Mikään kieli ei ole itsessään vaikea tai helppo, vaan kokemus vaikeudesta liittyy oman äidinkielen ja opittavan kielen lingvistiseen ja kulttuuriseen etäisyyteen. Vironkielisille suomi on etenkin alussa helpompaa kuin muille, ja viro on vastaavasti suomenkielisille helpompaa kuin moni muu kieli. Vietnaminkielisille suomi sen …

How Wild Can It Get? Managing Language Learning Tasks in Real Life Service Encounters

2019

This chapter explores how experientially based pedagogical activities that involve participation in real life service encounters provide occasions for developing L2 interactional competence. The data comprises novice L2 students’ self-recorded interactions in service settings and videorecordings of classroom planning activities and de-briefing discussions, where the students reflect on their experiences. The analysis traces what kinds of occasions for learning arise as the students move between the classroom and the real-world service settings. The findings show that the different phases of the task complement each other in supporting the development of interactional competence. The prepara…

Dialogical view on learner agency of immigrant pupils : a case study of the learners of Finnish as L2

2022

This study explores the dialogical nature of agency when two immigrant pupils, who are learning Finnish as their new target language, are authoring their selves. Bakhtin’s dialogism was the inspiration for this examination of the discourses that surround the L2 pupils’ agency and how they respond to discourses through their agency. Ethnographically oriented data collection included classroom observations, the pupils’ portfolios, and interviews with the pupils (as main participants) and meaningful adults. These data yielded a set of narratives from multiple voices. The results show that the pupils negotiate more subjective meanings of their selves, and re-color them with their internal goals…

Multimodal mediational means in assessment of processes : an argument for a hard-CLIL approach

2022

In Japan, CLIL instruction falls under a soft-CLIL approach, content serving as secondary to language instruction. Furthermore, assessment in classrooms in Japan is oftentimes limited to assessing the product summatively. In the paper, we argue for the value of focusing on content in CLIL activities and assessing the process with the goal to promote learning. The present small-scale study at a Japanese university explored how learners (n = 6) used multimodal mediational means to build their conceptual understanding of ‘Earth breathing’ in order to create a presentation on it for a general English course. The further goal was to explore how inferences made from assessing this process of lear…
