Les déterminants des compétences sociales des élèves de cycle III
2016
Les différences de réussite à l’école primaire traditionnellement étudiées par les chercheurs en éducation peuvent être analysées à la lumière des compétences et plus particulièrement des compétences sociales. Champ théorique encore en construction, les compétences sociales deviennent tout de même un « incontournable » pour les acteurs du système éducatif et pour la recherche en sciences de l’éducation. Par une approche pluridisciplinaire, cet article propose d’étudier quels sont les déterminants des compétences sociales à l’aide d’indicateurs sociodémographiques et scolaires largement empruntés dans les modèles d’explication des différences de réussite, auxquels sont associées des mesures …
La maitrise du français écrit par les primo-arrivants : : une analyse des performances productives par frontière stochastique
2014
International audience; Cet article vise à déterminer les facteurs susceptibles d'expliquer le niveau de maîtrise du français écrit par les primo-arrivants en âge de travailler, sachant que peu de recherches ont été réalisées en France à ce sujet. L'originalité de cet article réside dans l'estimation d'une frontière stochastique de production afin d'expliquer les scores en français écrit des primo-arrivants (considérés comme producteurs de leurs propres compétences) et leurs performances productives. Les principaux résultats mettent en avant que la langue maternelle, l'âge au moment de l'immigration, le diplôme de la mère et la vie sociale sont des éléments qui influencent l'efficacité de c…

2009
Tämä laadullinen tutkimus tuo yhden näkökulman globaaliin keskusteluun siitä ovatko englantia äidinkielenään puhuvat opettajat, omilla ääntämis- ja kielenkäyttötavoillaan, tarpeellisia opiskeltaessa englantia vieraana kielenä (EFL). Tutkimus keskittyi suomalaisten yritysmaailmassa olevien aikuisten mielipiteisiin, käsityksiin ja kokemuksiin englanninkielen opiskelusta sekä suomalaisten (ei-natiiven) että englantia äidinkielenään puhuvien opettajien (natiivien) johdolla. Tutkimukseen osallistujat edustivat sekä eri ammattikuntia että eri maantieteellisiä alueita ympäri Suomea. Tutkimuksella oli kolme selkeää tavoitetta. Ensiksi tavoitteena oli tutkia, kokivatko osallistujat saavansa enemmän…

Abstract Background The present study aims to increase bicycling and level of physical activity (PA), and thereby promote health in parents of toddlers, by giving access to different bicycle types. There is a need for greater understanding of e-bikes and their role in the transportation network, and further effects on PA levels and health. Moreover, longtail bikes could meet certain practical needs not fulfilled by e-bikes or traditional bikes, hence increased knowledge regarding their feasibility should be obtained. No previous studies have investigated whether providing an e-bike or a longtail bike over an extended period in a sample of parents of toddlers influence objectively assessed a…
Language Mediation and Aspects of Accommodation in the Use of ELF
2014
There are numerous varieties of English spoken in Italy today, each repre-sented by one or more of the various migrant communities living in the country. These manifestations of World englishes reflect a wide range of lexical, syntactical, phonetic, pragmatic, interpersonal and cultural features. This paper argues that an interpreter or language mediator trained in standard English may not necessarily be able to comprehend or make him/herself understood adequately in other varieties of English. Thus, the recruitment of mediators/interpreters requires a certain amount of caution in terms of language choice. In order to investigate intelligibility, comprehensibility and accommodation in the c…

2013
This study emerges from recent research within the context of a new Sicily, where the various ethnic groups living there have become ELF users, who appropriate the English language according to their own different native linguabackground. This phenomenon places Sicily in a complex position with regard to the creation of ElL speakers. Specific case-studies will support this paper in testifying to the growth of an ELF mode as a relexfied, hybridised and cannibalised language, which is adapted to the immigrants' linguistic necessities.
