Palvelurakennemuutoksen diskurssit: Erikoissanaston käyttö kaupunkiorganisaation suunnittelukokouksissa
2018
Tutkimus käsittelee organisaatiomuutokseen liittyvää erikoissanastoa. Sen aineistona ovat kaupunkiorganisaation kokoukset, joissa suunnitellaan kaupungin palvelurakenteen muutosta. Kokousten osallistujiin kuuluvat kaupungin työntekijöistä koottu projektiryhmä, projektipäällikkö ja muuta projektin johtoa, valtion virkamiehiä sekä ulkopuolisia konsultteja. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan keskustelun- ja diskurssianalyyttisin metodein, miten muutosprosessia ohjaavan toteutusohjeen sanasto tuodaan osaksi kokousten vuorovaikutusta. Siinä analysoidaan 1) minkälaisiin diskursseihin sanaston termit kiinnittyvät, 2) miten niitä käytetään osana suunnittelukokousten vuorovaikutusta sekä 3) minkälaisia muu…
Approaching pedagogical language knowledge through student teachers: assessment of second language writing
2015
The article examines student teachers' pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis is based on data from an applied task in which Finnish student teachers (n = 221) of 16 school subjects assessed second language (SL) learners' writing skills. First, we briefly discuss subject teachers' role in language and literacy teaching in the multilingual and multicultural classroom. Our findings indicate that the student teachers use a range of criteria but focus mainly on word-level assessment when assessing writing samples, and that their assessment orientation varies from technical to analytical. Finally, we discuss the challenges of developing teacher education to promote pedagogical language kno…
Neural phoneme discrimination in variable speech in newborns – associations with dyslexia risk and later language skills
2023
AbstractA crucial skill in infant language acquisition is learning of the native language phonemes. This requires the ability to group complex sounds into distinct auditory categories based on their shared features. Problems in phonetic learning have been suggested to underlie language learning difficulties in dyslexia, a developmental reading-skill deficit. We investigated auditory abilities important for language acquisition in newborns with or without a familial risk for dyslexia with electrophysiological mismatch responses (MMRs). We presented vowel changes in a sequence of acoustically varying vowels, requiring grouping of the stimuli to two phoneme categories. The vowel changes elicit…
Finnish L2 proficiency for working life : towards research-based language education and supervision practices
2021
In all Nordic countries, the L2 proficiency needed at work has become a key area in the language education provided for adult immigrants. This paper is part of a series of articles that gives an overview of language policies and research activities in the Nordic countries related to L2 in working life, together with a presentation of novel empirical analyses. Here, the focus is on the Finnish perspective. The aims of this paper are twofold. First, it provides an overall picture of the policies and research findings underlying recent tendencies in Finnish L2 language education in/for working life. After this, the article presents two case studies of clinical supervision practices in health c…

Estudio sobre parámetros mecánicos y distancia de golpeo de Bandal Chagui de Taekwondo
2009
En este estudio se analizan los parámetros mecánicos fuerza de impacto (FI), tiempo de reacción (TR), tiempo de movimiento (TM), tiempo total de respuesta (TT) y dominancia, en la patada circular o Bandal Chagui en Taekwondo, basado en la regulación de la distancia de golpeo (ED1, ED2 y ED3). Para ello, se ha utilizado un sistema de nueva creación formado por una plataforma de contacto, una plataforma de fuerzas, un led de luces y un maniqui. La muestra esta compuesta por 51 taekwondistas (22 medallistas y 29 no medallistas; 37 varones y 19 mujeres; 42 diestros y 9 zurdos) de la Comunidad Valenciana con una media de edad de 24.49 años (DT = 5.94), una media de peso de 70.91 kg (DT = 12.95) …

Vers une ontologie des risques et des catastrophes : le modèle conceptuel
2009
ACTI; International audience; Nous présentons une réflexion sur la construction d'une ontologie formalisée du domaine des risques et des catastrophes. L'objectif est de revenir sur les concepts essentiels permettant de caractériser le risque, l'accident, la catastrophe et les notions associées, et d'organiser ces concepts entre eux par des relations. Nous présentons donc le modèle conceptuel du domaine des risques et des catastrophes, modèle réalisé à partir des diagrammes de classe d'UML(Unified Modelling Language). Si l'exercice semble a priori simple, la prise en compte de la représentation des différents types d'acteurs concernés complexifie notablement ce que recouvrent le risque et la…
Bodily Practices in Action Formation and Ascription in Multilingual Interaction: Introduction to the Special Issue.
2022
This special issue brings together empirical studies that investigate how bodily practices feature in action formation and action ascription in multilingual interaction (Schegloff, 2007; Levinson, 2013). Grounded in video-based conversation analysis and drawing on data from diverse sociomaterial settings, the articles investigate the contingent interactional processes through which speakers from different language backgrounds accomplish actions and achieve intersubjectivity. They demonstrate how specific constellations of linguistic resources, bodily conduct, spatial configurations, and material ecology are built into accomplishment of actions at different levels of interactional organizati…
Dynamic assessment of word derivational knowledge: Tracing the development of a learner
2016
The present paper reports on a case study that explored the applicability of dynamic assessment (DA) for promoting learners’ word derivational knowledge in English as a second or a foreign language (L2). One learner’s performance on tasks assessing his word derivational knowledge was measured four times. The first two measurements were conducted before and after three weekly human-mediated DA sessions and the last two, which took place a year and a half later, before and after three weekly computerised DA sessions. Think aloud protocols and interviews were used to trace changes in the learner’s use of strategies and knowledge sources. The results revealed that following the dynamic assessme…
