"Tottakai mää tiiän mikä se on englanniks ku se on melkeen sama ruotsiks!" : bilingual and multilingual children learning English : children's views
2015
Kaksi- ja monikielisyyttä on tutkittu paljon esimerkiksi lasten kielen kehityksen ja kognitiivisen kehityksen näkökulmasta. Lasten käsityksiä omasta kaksikielisyydestään tai sen vaikutuksista ei ole juurikaan tehty tutkimuksia. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin yhdentoista kaksi- ja monikielisen lapsen näkemyksiä kaksikielisyydestä ja kielen opiskelusta. Kyseessä oli haastattelututkimus, jossa haastateltiin kuutta tyttöä ja viittä poikaa, jotka olivat neljäs-, viides- ja kuudesluokkalaisia. Lapset kävivät ruotsinkielistä luokkaa suomenkielisessä koulussa ja he tulivat joko kaksi- tai monikielisistä kodeista tai heillä oli kielikylpytausta. Lapset olivat opiskelleet englantia yli vuoden verra…

Vēstures un angļu valodas integrēta apguve 9.klasē
2019
Globalizācija ir daļa no mūsu dzīves mūsdienas un tās nozīme tikai palielinās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir plaši atzīta ne tikai Eiropā, bet arī visa pasaulē jau no 1990-tajiem gadiem. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir ļoti populāra, jo skolēniem arvien vairāk nepieciešama angļu valoda, lai turpinātu savas studijas. Viņiem niepieciešamas angļu valodas zināšanas akadēmiskā akademiskā līmeni, lai sekmīgi turpinātu studijas un saprast dažādus jēdzienus, ko lieto viņu izvēlētajā priekšmetā. Jēdzienus neapgūst angļu valodas stundās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve nozīmē aktīvu starppriekšmetu saikni. Skolēni mācās angļu valodu ne tikai angļu valodas stundās, bet viņi izmanto an…
Romanian Folk Literature in Our Classes: A Proposal for the Development of Intercultural Competence
2015
Abstract The present research highlights the ways in which folk literature, this valuable tool that contributes to students’ formation from both a human and literary perspective, can promote intercultural competence in class and foster a better integration within the community, while consolidating favorable attitudes towards interculturality. We share Rodriguez Almodovar's view (2009), according to which the folk story makes the geographic space expand; it channels affectivity, while guiding the learning process towards the acceptance of social values that are representative for each culture. The objectives of our study are focused, on the one hand, on improving intercultural competence amo…
The National Bilingual Programme in Colombia: Imposition or Opportunity?
2011
The National Bilingual Programme, created by the Colombian Ministry of Education in 2004, offers all students in the county the possibility of becoming bilingual in English and Spanish as part of a vision of increased productivity in a globalised world. However, the language and education policies promoted within this framework tend to foreground the development of English at the expense of bilingual competence in Spanish and English. This bilingual policy has been strongly criticised by several Colombian academics with regard to what they consider as the imposition in the Colombian context of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, the disregard of local knowledge and exp…
Use your languages! : From monolingual to multilingual interaction in a language class
2015
This reflective paper presents a new course concept for multilingual interaction, which was piloted at the University of Jyväskylä Language Centre in the spring of 2014. The course, implemented as part of the centre’s action research, is the result of a development process aimed at enhancing students’ multilingual and multicultural academic communication competences along with promoting use of their entire linguistic repertoire. The course concept was inspired by the EU project Modularising Multilingual and Multicultural Academic Communication Competence (MAGICC), whose main intent is “to integrate multilingual and multicultural academic communication competences as graduate learning outcom…
Developing a conceptual framework : the case of MAGICC
2015
This paper reports the steps taken to develop the conceptual framework of the MAGICC project (2013), which aimed to provide action-oriented descriptions of multilingual and multicultural academic and professional communication competence, instructional designs to promote these in higher education language teaching, and multidimensional forms of assessment aligned with the learning outcomes established – all presented in an academic ePortfolio that expands the features of the existing European Language Portfolio (ELP) to the higher education level. “Starting with systematic desk research into the existing conceptualisations of multi/plurilingual and multi/ intercultural competences as well a…
Why we need TI-Oriented Language Learning and Teaching
2021
The teaching of foreign languages to students in Translation and Interpreting (TI) programmes should be framed within the field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). This would make it possible to pinpoint specific curricular content and methodological traits that contribute to the enhancement of the communicative competence and initial development of TI competences. This paper analyses the students’ perspectives on L2 teaching in a TI programme and how it should be undertaken to best comply with the linguistic demands imposed by translation and interpreting. A thematic analysis of 117 open questionnaires returned by students from Austria, Slovenia and Spain identified five areas to whic…
Learning paths on elementary university courses in Finnish as a second language
2015
Along with the growing degree of internationalisation, Finnish university education needs to address issues related to learning and teaching Finnish as a second language. From the perspective of teaching Finnish and related pedagogical development, it is essential to recognise when, where and for which purposes learners need Finnish at the various stages of the language acquisition process. This article focuses on the learning paths of three international students who studied Finnish on a one-term elementary course at the University of Jyvaskyla Language Centre. The article is based on a socio-cultural and ecological view on language learning and teaching. The data consist of learning diary…
Mediated learning materials: visibility checks in telepresence robot mediated classroom interaction
2021
Videoconferencing is increasingly used in education as a way to support distance learning. This article contributes to the emerging interactional literature on video-mediated educational interaction by exploring how a telepresence robot is used to facilitate remote participation in university-level foreign language teaching. A telepresence robot differs from commonly used videoconferencing set-ups in that it allows mobility and remote camera control. A remote student can thus move a classroom-based robot from a distance in order to shift attention between people, objects and environmental structures during classroom activities. Using multimodal conversation analysis, we focus on how partici…
