Teacher as creator: Orchestrating the learning environment to promote learner development
2022
Sociocultural theory (SCT) is a powerful basis for exploring and guiding L2 (second/foreign language) learner development. For the most part, however, the focus of classroom SCT-L2 has been on single activities, for example, teacher mediation of learners’ writing process or peer scaffolding. In this paper, we expand on these studies, building on Vygotsky’s (1997) metaphor of teacher as a creator of learner development. We propose how activities (1) where agency for guiding development lies with learners, (2) where the teacher takes the lead in guiding learner development, and (3) where opportunities for development emerge in dialogical interaction between the teacher and learners can be or…
Linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic competence as criteria in assessing vocational language skills: the case of Finland
2010
The content of the assessment criteria used in assessing vocationally oriented language competence in the Finnish Competency-Based Qualifications was examined. The data consisted of the National Core Curricula, eight education providers’ assessment criteria used in rating performances in the Qualification of Business and Administration, and thematic interviews conducted with 12 language teachers and four workplace experts. The data were analysed qualitatively. The results showed that on the lower levels of language competence, sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences were considered important in compensating for lacking linguistic competence. The findings will be useful in further defining…

Theoretical approaches and frameworks to language maintenance and shift research : a critical review
2019
This article presents a critical overview of theoretical approaches and frameworks to language maintenance and shift research in the area of immigrant languages. It covers the underlying principles of these frameworks and assesses their advantages and shortcomings. The article argues that the field’s theoretical orientations have shifted recently, with a greater emphasis on understanding language maintenance and shift as a dynamic process involving complex interrelationships between space and time. These new trends and new areas of research in relation to language maintenance and shift are highlighted and discussed in different parts of the article. The article concludes by calling on the s…
The Dawn of the Human-Machine Era: A forecast of new and emerging language technologies
2021
New language technologies are coming, thanks to the huge and competing private investment fuelling rapid progress; we can either understand and foresee their effects, or be taken by surprise and spend our time trying to catch up. This report scketches out some transformative new technologies that are likely to fundamentally change our use of language. Some of these may feel unrealistically futuristic or far-fetched, but a central purpose of this report - and the wider LITHME network - is to illustrate that these are mostly just the logical development and maturation of technologies currently in prototype. But will everyone benefit from all these shiny new gadgets? Throughout this report we …
Which status for sensoric based discourses on digital social networks? Methodological reflections based on a corpus of wine descriptions in French an…
2019
International audience; [Context] The rise of digital humanities, embracing the expansion of digital speech production of western societies, imposes to reconsider the status of textual data – especially for specialized discourses (Lerat 1995, Petit 2010), for which written discourse has always been the most analyzed form of language use. Siever (2015: 85-86) has already raised the issue of the very nature of digital discourses in terms of medium, such as defined alongside the traditional oral-written-continuum (Koch & Oesterreicher 1994: 528). This led to a necessary theoretical and methodological shift giving priority to the conceptual level as embodied in the distance-proximity paradigm (…
Periodismo especializado y especialización política
2015
En este artículo se revisa la bibliografía sobre periodismo especializado y se analizan los rasgos normalmente aducidos para identificar la especialización periodística, que apuntan por lo general al contenido de los textos: la especificidad temática, el enfoque en profundidad, la metodología de investigación, el recurso a fuentes expertas, la necesidad de formación complementaria a la pro-piamente periodística, la orientación a audiencias segmentadas, el uso de géneros textuales con-cretos, o la adecuación lingüística. La aplicación de estos mismos factores a la especialización políti-ca pone de manifiesto la necesidad de cuestionar los rasgos aducidos y considerar otros criterios en el co…
Edukacja językowa w zakresie języka ojczystego w czasach zmiany kulturowej
2018
Przemiany dokonujące się we współczesnej kulturze dotykają różnych sfer życia człowieka, również języka i komunikacji, skłaniając do przemyślenia zadań i priorytetów szkolnego kształcenia językowego. Szczególna uwaga należy się tym wzorcom językowego komunikowania nabywanym przez uczniów w procesie socjalizacji, które odbiegają od ideałów szkolnych. W artykule omawiam niektóre z nich, zwracam uwagę na konsekwencje w postaci niepożądanych zmian w strukturze kompetencji językowo-komunikacyjnej młodego pokolenia oraz postaw wobec języka i komunikacji werbalnej. Dochodzę do wniosku, że przeobrażenia w kontekście kulturowo-komunikacyjnym nie stawiają przed współczesną edukacją językową całkiem n…
Persuaziâ, manipulâciâ i religioznyj âzyk:teoretičeskij aspekt
2021
This article is an attempt at a theolinguistic description of such concepts as manipulation, persuasia, and religious language. The author focuses primarily on the theoretical aspect of the stated problem. In the first part of the work, such concepts as manipulation, persuasia and speech influence are analyzed. Their hierarchy is being organized and it is concluded that persuasia and manipulation, when considered in “pure form” is the polar form of speech influence, different in means of achieving the goal: if persuasia is an open speech influence, suggesting a deliberate choice by the recipient, speech influence with the sign “+”, then the manipulation is speech influence, often using hidd…
Eye protein : the cinema of attractions in Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy films
2014
Attraktioelokuva on Tom Gunningin ja André Gaudreaultin kehittämä fraasi kuvaamaan hämmästyksen estetiikkaa, joka oli vallalla varhaisessa elokuvassa ennen narrativisaatiota. Kyseessä on elokuva, joka pitää katsojan tietoisena katsomisesta ottamalla kontaktia katsojaan ja kiehtomalla tämän uteliaisuutta. Attraktion estetiikka ei Gunningin mukaan koskaan hävinnyt, vaan jäi olennaiseksi osaksi kertovaa elokuvaa. Konsepti on ollut hyvin vaikutusvaltainen. Viime vuosina on virinnyt kysymys voisiko sitä käyttää myös tutkiessa Hollywoodin nykyaikaista spektaakkelielokuvaa; sen sanotaan olevan hengeltään lähempänä attraktioelokuvaa kuin vuosikymmeniin. Spektaakkelin korostunut asema―joka usein lii…
