Becoming more EUropean or European after ERASMUS?
2015
Lijphart was the first to emphasize the necessity to study the impact of student mobility upon European integration, but mobility programmes have only been studied in the last decade. The European Commission points to the ERASMUS programme as a successful example of construction of European identity; however, this assumption hasn’t yet been empirically proved on an European scale. This paper has been devoted to research of the impact of the ERASMUS programme on fostering European identity in Europe. In academic literature at least two different understandings of the European identity can be distinguished: political and cultural European identity. The quantitative survey (in which 12’173 res…
Training the modern translator – the acquisition of digital competencies through blended learning
2019
This paper presents the ERASMUS+ DigiLing project, which aims to teach and improve linguists’ and translators’ skills and knowledge of digitalisation to prepare them for today’s job market. Against this background, it discusses the development of digital competencies and distinguishes them from traditional domain-specific and general competencies. For the purpose of competence acquisition, six online courses have been created which all revolve around the field of ‘digital linguistics’, including localization in the digital age and post-editing machine translation. We provide an overview of the project, the course contents and the didactic methodology. In addition, we discuss which competenc…
Christian Hoburg and Seventeenth-century Mysticism
1967
The subject of the present paper is only seemingly a national German development—it has, in fact, to do with the universal situation of the Christian Church in modern times. The question of mysticism runs through almost all denominations. The imposing French Roman Catholic Dictionnaire de spiritualité ascétique et mystique shows it in every column. We know how important a contribution to Christian preaching and devotional literature was made by the early Greek and Oriental monks, like Ephraem Syrus, Johannes Klimakos and others, how fundamental and lasting theological concepts were developed on mystical lines by Clement of Alexandria and Dionysius the Areopagite, by Bernard of Clairvaux, by…

Exchange students in Finland : English language learning and use
2013
Kansainvälisyys ja kielitaito kulkevat tänä päivänä käsi kädessä ja molemmat nähdäänkin tärkeinä seikkoina yliopisto-opiskelijoiden tulevaisuuden kannalta. Euroopassa vaihto-opiskelusta on tullut yhä suositumpaa ja siihen kehottavat niin yliopistot kuin myös opiskelijoiden tulevat työnantajat sekä Euroopan Unioni, joka myös tukee hanketta taloudellisesti noudattaen Euroopan yhteistä kielipolitiikkaa. Vaihto-opiskelu nähdään hyödyllisenä niin itsenäistymisen kuin myös kansainvälistymisen kannalta, unohtamatta kielitaidon merkitystä monikielisessä Euroopassa. Merkittävä osa Suomeen tulevista vaihto-opiskelijoista pitää yhtenä tavoitteenaan parantaa englannin kielen taitoaan, huolimatta siitä,…
ACTIVE LEARNING METHODS IN STUDIES: STUDENTS’ OPINIONS AND EXPERIENCES
2021
Rapid changes in education and pedagogy are related not only to the global crisis caused by COVID-19, but also to other changes determined by globalization and technological convergence—labour mobility, changes in different professions and changes in teacher–student relations—that are also affected by intergenerational differences. Changes in the pedagogical paradigm, which are included in the content of the Paris Communiqué (2018) and outlined in many important educational development and planning documents, emphasise students’ transition from being mere recipients of information to being participants actively engaged with new information in a learning environment. Following the identifica…
