Proactive and reactive dimensions of life-course agency: mapping student teachers’ language learning experiences

2014

Although the concept of agency has received a lot of interest in recent educational research, its significance in language learning biographies as well as contextual and relational aspects of learner agency are still little studied. This paper aims at a more thorough understanding of agency by studying student teachers’ previous language learning experiences. This paper is based on a dialogical analysis of 12 student teachers’ biographical essays describing their relationship with English as a foreign language. The participants are students in a Finnish class teacher and language teacher education programme that uses English as the primary medium of instruction. The study proposes a tripart…

2015

Maģistra darbā “Ārtelpas video aktivitātes kā iekļaujošs mācību līdzeklis svešvalodu apguvē pusaudžiem” tiek pētīta svešvalodas apguves vēsture un patreizējās tendences, kā arī ārtelpas aktivitātes kā svešvalodas apguvi veicinošs mācību līdzeklis nodarbībās pusaudžiem. Datu ieguvei par ārtelpas aktivitāšu laikā iegūtajiem rezultātiem pētījumā tiek izmantots formatīvais skolotāja vērtējums un skolēna pašvērtējums. Pētījuma mērķis ir atklāt saistības starp ārtelpas video aktivitāšu sniegtajiem svešvalodas apguves rezultātiem un skolēnu pašvērtējumu un skolotāja vērtējumu. Datu analīze parāda, ka skolēnu un skolotāju vērtējumos pastāv konsekvence. Tiek pierādīts, ka ārtelpas video aktivitātes …

2022

Diplomdarbs tika izstrādāts, lai padziļinātu izpratni par “Es protu apgalvojumu” izmantošanu kā pašvadītu mācīšanās prasmju novērtēšanas instrumenta faktisko pielietojumu un lai noteiktu, vai tas palīdz uzlabot skolēnu angļu valodas sasniegumus. Diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt, kā pašvadītas mācīšanās “Es protu apgalvojumus” var izmantot angļu valodas stundās, lai uzlabotu skolēnu angļu valodas sniegumu 4. klasē. Par pētījuma metodi tika izvēlēts gadījuma pētījums. Par pētījuma bāzi tika izvēlēti 19 Ērgļu vidusskolas 4. klases skolēni vecumā no 9 līdz 10 gadiem Dati tika vākti, izmantojot stundu novērošanas protokolus, skolotāju viedokļa noskaidrošanai tika izmantota daļēji strukturēta inte…

Rajallinen työmuisti S2-oppijoiden puheenymmärtämisvaikeuksien selittäjänä

2019

Tässä artikkelissa käsittelen työmuistin rajallisuuden ja aikuisten suomenoppijoiden puheenymmärtämisvaikeuksien yhteyttä tarkastelemalla oppijoiden kuuntelutehtäväsuorituksia ja niitä seuraavia stimulated recall -haastatteluja. Lisäksi selvitän, millaisilla muistitoiminnoilla oppijat kompensoivat työmuistin rajallisuutta ja helpottavat ymmärtämistä. Tutkimukseen osallistui 12 arabiankielistä alkeis- ja perustason aikuista suomenoppijaa, ja aineisto koostuu oppijoiden kuuntelutehtäväsuoritusten ja stimulated recall -haastattelujen videotallenteista. Työmuistin rajallisuuden vaikutus ymmärtämisvaikeuksissa tuli esiin erityisesti silloin, kun yhteen sanaan tai ilmaukseen keskittyminen aiheutt…

Foreign Language Learners’ Pronunciation Learning Beliefs and Strategies

2021

This quantitative research investigates the extent to which adult L2 learners act in line with what they declare to believe in regarding pronunciation learning. In other words, this paper focuses on determining the strength of the relationship between the frequency of use of L2 pronunciation learning strategies (PLS) and the beliefs the individuals hold on selected factors affecting pronunciation acquisition, pronunciation instruction, self-efficacy, pronunciation learning goals and affective factors in pronunciation learning. A group of 116 learners of English as a foreign language who took an English phonetics course responded to the Pronunciation Learning Strategies Inventory (PLSI) and …

Visually-Grounded Language Model for Human-Robot Interaction

2010

Visually grounded human-robot interaction is recognized to be an essential ingredient of socially intelligent robots, and the integration of vision and language increasingly attracts attention of researchers in diverse fields. However, most systems lack the capability to adapt and expand themselves beyond the preprogrammed set of communicative behaviors. Their linguistic capabilities are still far from being satisfactory which make them unsuitable for real-world applications. In this paper we will present a system in which a robotic agent can learn a grounded language model by actively interacting with a human user. The model is grounded in the sense that meaning of the words is linked to a…

Contesti di apprendimento guidato a confronto. Idee per un modello di analisi dell’interazione nel Task-Based Language Learning

2014

The aim of this chapter is to compare the types of interaction that take place in two different contexts of L2 Italian learning. In the first context learners attend a task-based language learning (TBLL) course, in the second they attend a course based on a more generic communicative approach. Our hypothesis is that different interaction patterns may be observed in relation in different teaching contexts. Our analysis shows that this is indeed the case. These results may help to consider the importance of the method as a factor in guided learning contexts.
