The Importance of Multilingual Information and Plain English in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

2021

Health is a common issue for all human beings. As a consequence, everyone in the world has in some way to cope with the language of medicine. This is true now more than ever due to the global health crisis caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has introduced a great amount of terms, previously mostly used by epidemiologists and statisticians, but which now have entered the daily lexicon of many languages. As the medium of international scientific communication, English is the language of worldwide information about the pandemic, and the main source of terms and expressions for other languages. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on English lexicon has been so deep that the Oxford E…

Second Language Interference during First Language Processing by Arabic-English Bilinguals.

2017

The research investigated whether a bilinguals’ second language (L2) is activated during a task involving only the first language (L1). We tested the hypothesis that the amount of L2 interference can vary across settings, with less interference occurring in testing locations where L2 is rarely used. In Experiment 1, we compared language processing for 50 Arabic–English bilinguals tested in Saudi Arabia and 49 Arabic–English tested in the United States. In the task, participants viewed a picture and judged whether a phoneme presented over headphones was part of the L1 picture name. The results showed no effect of testing location on processing. For both groups of bilinguals, we observed L2 i…

Angļu valodas skolotāja karjeras trajektorijas Latvijā

2021

Par spīti tam, ka skolotāja karjera piedāvā neskaitāmas attīstības iespējas, plašā sabiedrības daļā vēl joprojām valda uzskats, ka karjerai izglītības sistēmā nav izaugsmes iespējas. Šis aplamais uzskats padara gandrīz neiespējamu motivētu, talantīgu un kompetentu indivīdu piesaisti skolotāja darbam. Šis maģistra darbs ir mēģinājums rast atbildes uz aktuālu problēmu daudzās izglītības sistēmās pasaulē – skolotāju trūkums. Skaidrs redzējums par iespējām skolotāja karjerā var piesaistīt izcilas personības šai profesijai. Lai izpētītu angļu valodas kā svešvalodas skolotāju karjeras trajektorijas Latvijā tika izvēlēts fenomenoloģijas pētījuma dizains, kas ļāva padziļināti izzināt pētījuma dalīb…

Šis darbs tika izstrādāts ar mērķi pētīt nozaru angļu valodas mācību materiālu izveides procesu, kā arī, apmācot studentus, radīt oriģinālu mācību materiālu konkrētai Finanšu menedžmenta programmas studentu grupai. Lai izveidotu šo materiālu, tika iegūti kvalitatīvie dati, analizējot nodarbību laikā novērotos procesus. Jaunizveidotais materiāls tika veiksmīgi izmantots praksē.

Music in the English classroom : effects on emotion and motivation perceived by the learners

2013

Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, kuinka musiikin käyttäminen englannin opetuksessa voi vaikuttaa oppilaiden emootioihin ja motivaatioon. Oman kokemukseni mukaan kieltenopettajat kokevat yläasteikäisten oppilaiden motivoimisen ajoittain haasteelliseksi. Tutkimusta opettajien pedagogisten valintojen vaikutuksesta oppilaiden motivaatioon on kuitenkin tehty rajallisesti. Aikaisempi tutkimus on todennut, että musiikki näyttelee suurta osaa yläasteikäisten nuorten elämässä ja tämä tutkimus käsittelee nimenomaan musiikin potentiaalisia vaikutuksia oppilaiden motivaatioon. Tutkimus toteutettiin pienessä itäsuomalaisessa yläkoulussa. Tutkimus on tapaustutkimus eikä sen tuloksia voi yleis…

The European sTANDEM project for certification in medical English: standards, acceptability and transgression(s)

2014

In the global world of international communication, employers or institutions that wish to determine the language skills of non-native speakers of English usually turn to generalist proficiency tests such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the slightly more business-oriented TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication). These tests enable test takers to certify that they have reached a certain level in skills needed in everyday life and, sometimes, workplace situations, but they do not assess language skills for specific purposes.Aware of this vacuum, a consortium of European teachers/researchers and international experts in the domain of medical English unde…

If You Get Double the Time: Teaching practices in the “Swedish/English” language subject option in Swedish nine-year compulsory schooling

2012

In Swedish nine-year compulsory schooling, all students are supposed to learn English and at least one additional language, i.e., French, Spanish, or German. As a final option, extra Swedish and/or English classes, often called SvEn, are offered for students who choose not to study another language. The activities in SvEn are unregulated: there are no official instructions for the teachers, no set teaching goals (over and above those for regular Swedish and English classes), and no grading criteria, as students choosing SvEn are not graded in this language choice. This paper focuses on how 17 teachers organize their teaching of English in SvEn, basing the study on teacher interviews. It als…
