Associations Between Reading Skills, Interest in Reading, and Teaching Practices in First Grade

2017

ABSTRACTThis study examined associations between classroom-level reading fluency, comprehension, interest in reading, and teaching practices. Participants were 466 children from 21 classrooms. Reading fluency and interest were assessed at the beginning and end of Grade 1, reading comprehension at the end of Grade 1. Teaching practices were observed with the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (ECCOM). Teachers were more likely to use teacher-directed methods in classrooms where children had poorer initial reading fluency. In classrooms with mostly child-centered methods, children showed better reading fluency, comprehension, and higher interest, whereas in classrooms with predomin…

Connecting the Language Classroom and the Wild : Re-enactments of Language Use Experiences

2018

AbstractUsing multimodal conversation analysis, this article analyses language learning as an in situ process during a teacher-assigned, experientially based pedagogical activity. The activity involved a three-part pedagogical structure, where learners first prepared for and then participated in real-life service encounters, and later reflected on their experiences back in the classroom. The analysis details how the co-constructed telling sequences through which novice second language users re-enact their experiences create an occasion for language-focused activity. We argue that the actions through which the participants display and sustain an orientation to an interactional practice as an…

Guiding and assessing development of L2 writing process : the role of peer collaboration

2022

This study, informed by Vygotskian notion of mediation and reporting on a partnership between a researcher (the first author) and a teacher (the second author), aims at exploring how peers’ comments can inform teacher assessment and guidance of learners’ L2 (second/foreign language) writing. The participants were 19 L2 English learners in an upper secondary school in Finland. We largely focus on the notes that one pair of learners made on each other’s essays and how they responded to peer assistance. Triangulating these data with classroom observation and a questionnaire, we traced how learners co-constructed their understanding of how their texts can be developed. The foci and how the iden…

Learning and using English and Swedish beyond the classroom : activity systems of six upper secondary school students

2012

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli katsoa englannin ja ruotsin oppimista koulun ulkopuolella toiminnan teorian ja erityisesti Engeströmin (1987, 1999) toimintajärjestelmämallin näkökulmasta, josta aihetta ei ole aiemmin lähestytty. Tutkimus vastaa seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) Ovatko abiturientit enemmän kielenkäyttäjiä vai -oppijoita englannissa ja ruotsissa koulun ulkopuolella? 2) Millaisia eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä heidän toiminnassaan on englannissa ja ruotsissa? 3) Mitkä tekijät selittävät aktiivisuutta ja passiivisuutta? Tutkimus on toteutettu tapaustutkimuksena. Tutkimusaineistona on kuusi puolistrukturoitua haastattelua. Haastateltavat ovat 18-vuotiaita lukion kolmannen vuosikurssin opi…

Procedures for study of teaching practices. Literature Review

2012

Interest in studying teaching practices has increased, because of the need to evaluate teachers and dissatisfaction with the usual ways of doing it. Recent approaches with Value-Added Models, based on students’ results on achievement tests do not seem satisfactory. The article is based on a review of literature and classifies the approaches to practices in three groups: instruments based on information given by teachers; observation protocols; and approaches based on the analysis of products of the practices. Specific tools are described and advantages and disadvantages of the three approaches are discussed. El interés por las prácticas docentes ha aumentado, en parte por la necesidad de ev…
