Subject expertise among teacher students of English and Swedish : the ideal language teacher and self-efficacy beliefs
2015
Käsitykset kielen oppimisesta ja opettamisesta ovat muuttuneet kielen rakenteita korostavista näkemyksistä yhä enemmän kommunikatiivisiksi (Abrahamsson 2009). Tämän tutkielman lähtökohtana onkin havainnoida näiden muuttuvien kielikäsitysten heijastumista kielenopettajaopiskelijoiden näkemyksissä selvittämällä, mitä kielitaidon osa-alueita he pitävät kaikista tärkeimpinä. Tutkielma keskittyy toisaalta oppiainekohtaiseen aineenhallintaan, minkä tarkoitus on kartoittaa opiskelijoiden valmiuksia kohdata tulevan työelämän haasteet. Jotta opiskelijoiden sopeutuminen työelämään tapahtuisi mahdollisimman sujuvasti, tulee heidän luonnollisesti hallita opettamansa kieli mahdollisimman hyvin. Kiviniem…
‘The Class of My Dreams’ as Envisioned by Student Teachers of English : What Is There to Teach about the Language?
2019
As part of a bigger project on the motivation of future EFL teachers, this chapter sets out to find out what a group of student teachers (N = 67) in Finland thought teaching English would involve once they had graduated from an MA programme and entered the profession a few years later. They were asked to envision ‘An English class of my dreams’ as the final home assignment on one of their first professionally oriented courses. The envisioning was done visually so the students produced pictures (by a variety of means) and provided further details about the class in writing, on the reverse side of the task sheet. The pool of multimodal data collected was subjected to content analysis, and it …
The teaching of frozen expressions through the graphic novel Persépolis
2019
The constant search for suitable teaching materials to achieve the linguistic skills provided by a language teaching course, finds in authentic documents an important instrument for teaching foreign languages. The scientific literature attesting to the effectiveness of the authentic material is wide and consolidated; indeed, a text conceived by a native for a native, and, therefore, not developed for the sole purpose of teaching a foreign language, is intrinsically carrying a cultural richness and a linguistic variety, which are rarely present in any didactic artifact. The authentic material therefore represents an opportunity to meet the fixed expressions that are part of the communicative…

Maģistra darbā ir aplūkots tehnoloģijās balstītu angļu vaodas pareizrakstības izpētes un apguves aktivitāšu lietojums augstskolā.

Los retos de la alfabetización de las personas adultas. Creencias de docentes peruanos y propuestas metodológicas
2019
[EN] We address the challenges of adult literacy in an American context from a European perspective. We focus on the context of adult education in Peru, a country with a great cultural and linguistic diversity, based on the interaction produced with a hundred Peruvian teachers linked to the CEBA (Basic Alternative Education) centers. The school context of young people and adults in situations of illiteracy ascribed to the Program for Literacy and Basic Education of Young People and Adults (PAEBA) presents situations of extreme poverty and inequality, which require specific actions and methodologies. From the experience of adult literacy centers and the sociolinguistic reality of teaching in…

Raising the Profile of Sign Language Teachers in Finland
2016
Sign language teaching in Finland has a long history. In contrast, sign language teacher training programs and research into the sign languages of Finland both know a short history. Due to this contrast, the field of sign language teaching nowadays can be seen as the ‘Wild West’. Till today, teachers from different backgrounds do teach sign language. We do not have a clear picture of what knowledge or competencies are expected from these teachers. In this article we would like to share our opinions about what the profile of a sign language teacher could look like in order to raise and advance the discussion and improve the quality of sign language teaching in Finland. nonPeerReviewed
