Nuorisokuorolaisten ja kuoronjohtajan negatiiviset vuorovaikutuskokemukset

2011

Kuoroharrastus on saanut viime aikoina näkyvyyttä televisiossa ja kuoroharrastuksen myönteisistä vaikutuksista on tehty tutkimuksia. Yksi kuoroharrastuksen parhaimpia, mutta myös haastavimpia, puolia ovat vuorovaikutussuhteet, eikä erimielisyyksiltä aina voida välttyä. Kielteisissä ja epämiellyttävissä kokemuksissa ihminen kokee uhkaa omaa minuuttaan kohtaan, jolloin hän myös puolustautuu defenssejään käyttäen joko vetäytymällä tai hyökkäämällä. Kuoronjohtajan vastuu kuorosta on suuri ja häneltä vaaditaan erityisiä tiedollisia, taidollisia ja sosiaalisia taitoja. Kuoronjohtajan persoona korostuu ja näkyy kuorosta ulospäin kaikissa sen tekemisissä, eli hän on keulahahmo, joka luo koko kuorol…

Radio frequency fingerprinting for outdoor user equipment localization

2017

The recent advancements in cellular mobile technology and smart phone usage have opened opportunities for researchers and commercial companies to develop ubiquitous low cost localization systems. Radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting is a popular positioning technique which uses radio signal strength (RSS) values from already existing infrastructures to provide satisfactory user positioning accuracy in indoor and densely built outdoor urban areas where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal is poor and hard to reach. However a major requirement for the RF fingerprinting to maintain good localization accuracy is the collection and updating of large training database. The Minimization…

Contesting language policy for asylum seekers in the Northern periphery: the story of Tailor F

2020

AbstractThis article is about navigating asylum, employment and language policy in a new country as an asylum seeker. Through the story of one individual, we show that profound inequalities are exacerbated when forced migrants are limited in their choice of language they might study or use. The individual is Tailor F, an Iraqi man seeking asylum, and the country is Finland, officially bilingual, with a majority language (Finnish) and a minority language (Swedish). Finland’s official bilingualism does not extend evenly to language education provided for asylum seekers, who are taught Finnish regardless of the region where they are placed. Upon arrival, Tailor F was housed in a reception cent…

The Socio-Material Value of Language Choices in Mozambique and Finland

2022

AbstractThis chapter explores parental choice of language programs from a socio-material standpoint. It uses a DeleuzoGuattarian framework of smooth and striated spaces to understand how parents in Mozambique and Finland position themselves when making choices concerning their children’s language education. We analyzed interviews from Finland and focus groups and policy documents from Mozambique to understand the materialities and social discourses that constitute parental choice. We found that in Finland, materiality as a physical space (e.g., school location) factored into caregivers’ decision making when selecting schools for their children. In Mozambique, in turn, materiality as socioec…

Intercultural Awareness of Iranian English Language Learners : An Exploration

2018

The present paper reports on a qualitative study investigating how Iranian learners of English as a foreign language understand culture and the extent to which this understanding meets the needs of efficient intercultural communication. In order to gather data, in-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with eight participants. The interviews were designed and thematically analyzed using Baker’s (2011) model of intercultural awareness. The model, which served as the analytical framework of the study, has been used to account for the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to communicate through English as a lingua franca. Based on the findings of the study, the main elements of the m…

‘I’m a foreign teacher’: legitimate positionings in the stories of a migrant teacher

2022

This qualitative study examines one migrant teacher’s identity positions in the context of a peer mentoring group setting in Finland. Combining theories of legitimacy and teacher narratives, this study asked which positions were available and legitimate for a migrant teacher. The analysis of three of the stories the teacher (‘Ji Yoo’) shared was inspired by Barkhuizen’s three-step framework for examining positioning in teacher narratives. Findings showed that Ji Yoo’s most legitimate positions were being ‘foreign’, novice teacher, cultural broker, and expert teacher, the latter two being the least frequent and least explicit ones. The authors suggest that migrant teachers’ struggles of havi…
