Analysing Lexical Density and Lexical Diversity in University Students’ Written Discourse
2015
Abstract This study analyses both lexical density and lexical diversity in the written production of two groups of first year students at the Universitat de Valencia at the beginning and end of one-semester teaching period. These results were compared with those obtained by a third group of students aiming at level C2. Lexical density was tested using Textalyser ( http://textalyser.net ) and lexical frequency used the software RANGE (Nation and Heatly, 1994). Our results prove that the students from both groups at level B1 show the same progression between writing tasks 1 and 3. Furthermore, we can claim that it is possible to obtain a reliable measure of lexical richness which is stable ac…
Pre-service language teachers’ perceptions of sustainability and its implementation in language teaching
2023
In both the school environment and teacher education, sustainable development is usually linked to the natural and social sciences and is rarely incorporated into language education or encouraged as part of language teacher education. As more research is needed on the practical implementation of sustainable development in language teaching and language teacher education, this study elucidates Finnish pre-service language teachers’ perceptions of sustainability dimensions (i.e. ecological, economic, social, and cultural) and their role in language teaching. We used a questionnaire comprising open-ended and Likert-scale questions to examine pre-service language teachers’ perceptions of and a…
Written essay feedback given by a teacher and as experienced by students
2016
Kirjallinen tuottaminen on olennainen osa kielten kouluopetusta Suomessa. Perinteisesti kirjalliset tuotokset arvioidaan ja opettaja antaa niistä palautetta. Tämä kandidaatin tutkielma selvittää yhden lukioryhmän osalta, millaista palautetta opettaja antoi heidän kirjoittamistaan esseistä ja kuinka oppilaat kokivat tämän palautteen. Tutkielmassa on käytetty sekä laadullisia että määrällisiä tutkimusotteita. Ensin oppilaat kirjoittivat lukiokurssillaan esseet, jotka opettaja arvosteli ja antoi niistä kommentteja. Sitten nämä esseet kommentteineen kerättiin ja palautteelle tehtiin sisällönanalyysi teorialähtöisesti Hattien ja Timperleyn mallin (2007) mukaan. Palaute oli pääosin varsin positii…

Between theory and practice – foreign language teacher students’ cognition of oral proficiency and grammar teaching in Sweden
2019
The present study explores patterns of cognition among 14 foreign language (FL) teacher students in Sweden regarding teaching oral proficiency and grammar in French German, Italian and Spanish. It is based on reflective cumulative log texts written by the students during a theoretical course in FL pedagogy. The log texts were investigated using qualitative content analysis to uncover central themes and patterns of agency. The findings indicate, among other things, that the FL teacher students hold strong experience-based cognitions regarding teaching both oral proficiency and grammar, and that, regardless if their FL learning experiences at school were based on form-focused teaching or comm…

Two English textbooks have been selected from each country for this research. One textbook is targeted for 10th grade and the other for 11th grade. The textbooks have been analyzed according to six dimensions: textbook structure, vocabulary, language forms, topics and cultural backgrounds, communicative functions, and activities fo…

Abstract: In the context of language teaching understood as part of a whole education in which …
An Edutainment Implementation in an English Vocational Training Class
2021
Edutainment ha sido definido como la unión entre la educación y el entretenimiento, aspectos que todo profesor querría tener en sus clases. Sin embargo, todavía no hay una implementación suficiente del enfoque para afirmar de una forma clara si es útil utilizarlo en las clases de aprendizaje de segundas lenguas o lenguas extranjeras. Este estudio tiene la ambición de contribuir a la comunidad educativa con un caso que podría ser un punto de partida para futuras investigaciones. En este trabajo se describe una investigación que duró 2 semanas en dos grupos de alumnos de 1º de un curso superior de formación profesional, donde se implementó el Edutainment en el grupo experimental y se implemen…
