Ritorno al futuro. La tutela del consumatore nei foreign currency loans
2022
La diffusione di finanziamenti indicizzati al cambio fra valute ha sollevato, in numerosi ordinamenti dell’Unione Europea, il problema della tutela del consumatore avverso l’assunzione del rischio di cambio. Il paper muove dall’insufficienza del dato normativo eurounitario per interrogarsi sulla compatibilità dei rimedi previsti per le clausole abusive nell’affrontare il fenomeno in esame. In particolare, è passata in esame la dinamica fra convenzioni sul rischio e clausole che definiscono l’oggetto principale del contratto

Self-assessment : a motivating tool for achieving better language skills
2011
Kielitaidon itsearviointi on tärkeä taito, sillä sen avulla kielten oppijat voivat tehostaa oppimistaan toisaalta arvioimalla kielitaitonsa tasoa ja toisaalta asettamalla mielekkäitä oppimistavoitteita. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää kielten opiskelijoiden kykyä arvioida kielitaitoaan ja käsityksiä itsestään kielenoppijoina. Tutkimukseen osallistui 59 Jyväskylän yliopiston kielten laitoksen pää- ja sivuaineopiskelijaa. Aineisto kerättiin lokakuussa 2009 osana ainelaitoksen kurssia Johdatusta kieleen ja sen tutkimukseen, ja se koostuu opiskelijoiden kurssin oppimistehtävää varten kirjoittamista noin sivun pituisista kirjoitelmista. Opiskelijoita pyydettiin tehtävässä arvioimaan…
L2 or L3? Foreign Language Enjoyment and Proficiency
2017
Enjoyment is among the achievement emotions encountered in school and university settings. While often identified with a sense of belonging not necessarily connected with learning (Lumby, 2011), foreign language enjoyment (FLE) in SLA has been found to correlate with teachers’ professional and affective skills, and the existence of a supportive peer group. The risk involved with meeting the challenges of the SLA process induces both private and social feelings of FLE (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2016). This study hypothesizes that a good command of language may be a source of elevated levels of enjoyment, because greater language proficiency is connected with greater control perception, especially…
Positive Predictive Value of Extraversion in Diagnosing L2WTC
2021
Willingness to communicate in a foreign/second language (L2 WTC) is now considered an influential variable underlying the second and foreign language learning processes. It is also perceived in terms of a fundamental goal of second language education, because its higher levels result in a greater desire to practise oral communication, bringing about successful language learning. According to the pyramid model of L2 WTC, it is rooted in personality which produces both distal and enduring influences on a student’s verbal behaviour. It can thus be expected that extraversion, a personality dimension identified with energy and enthusiasm and characterised by sensitivity to reward and sociability…

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…
