Effect of Enculturation on the Semantic and Acoustic Correlates of Polyphonic Timbre
2011
polyphonic timbre perception was investigated in a cross-cultural context wherein Indian and Western nonmusicians rated short Indian and Western popular music excerpts (1.5 s, n = 200) on eight bipolar scales. Intrinsic dimensionality estimation revealed a higher number of perceptual dimensions in the timbre space for music from one's own culture. Factor analyses of Indian and Western participants' ratings resulted in highly similar factor solutions. The acoustic features that predicted the perceptual dimensions were similar across the two participant groups. Furthermore, both the perceptual dimensions and their acoustic correlates matched closely with the results of a previous study perfor…

Atsaukšana un conteksts karjeras specifiska vārdu krājuma mācīšanai vidusskolas angļu valodas stundās
2022
Mūsdienās pateicoties globalizācijai angļu valoda kļūst aizvien svarīgāka lai spētu pilnībā piedalīties mācību un darba vidē. Šajās vidēs personām vajadzētu zināt ne tikai atbilstošu daudzumu angļu valodas ikdienas saziņai, bet arī izmantot vārdu krājumu, kas ir specifisks dotajai nozarei. Daži no veidiem kā efektīvāk mācīt vārdu krājumu ir atsaukšana un konteksta pavedieni. Diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt atsaukšanas un konteksta efektivitāti un karjerai specificēta vārdu krājuma svarīgumu skolēniem. Par pētījuma metodi tika izvēlēts atsevišķa gadījuma pētījums, kura laikā tika veikti praktiski uzdevumi un tika secināts, ka lai gan atsaukšana un konteksta pavedieni var būt efektīvas metode…
Powinności kształcenia językowego w L1 a niektóre aspekty lingwistyki poststrukturalistycznej
2022
The article is a part of the discussion on language education in L1 in a modern school. The vision presented in it is based on poststructuralist linguistic concepts, in which language is perceived in a non-systemic way, giving it a humanistic, anthropological-subjective, and cognitive dimension. The author discusses three good practice proposals as examples that fit into the presented didactic concept: in the first, writing character profiles was considered a story that interprets oneself and the world, in the second dictionary-phraseological exercises were assigned the function of changing the perception of reality, the third is an attempt to create a methodology based on the achievements …
Observacions sobre la posició dels subjectes postverbals en català i castellà
2007
This is a comparative study of the different positions of postverbal subjects in two closely related languages that nevertheless show clear differences in this respect. The comparative study will allow us to reject the idea that postverbal subjects in Romance languages are in a unique in situ position Spec VP as has been proposed recently (Motapayane1995, Ordóñez 1998, Costa 2000, Alexiadou i Anagnostopoulou 2001, Cardinaletti 2001). On the contrary, this study will show clearly that there is a need for two positions for postverbal subjects in order to understand the parametric differences between Catalan and Spanish. The general hypothesis will be that the subjects can access a higher Spec…
Skolotāja valoda angļu valodas stundās pozitīvu attiecību veidošanai klasē
2017
Pētījums aplūko kā skolotāju klases valoda palīdz veidot pozitīvas savstarpējās attiecības klasē, jo pozitīvai atmosfērai klasē ir nozīmīga loma svešvalodu apguvē. Aptaujā – pētījumā tika izmantotas šādas datu ieguves metodes: anketas piekto līdz divpadsmito klašu skolēniem, angļu valodas stundu novērošanas pieraksti, intervijas ar angļu valodas skolotājiem. Iegūtie dati atklāj skolēnu viedokli par angļu valodas skolotājiem un angļu valodas stundām, norādot, ka skolotājiem ir nepieciešams vairāk domāt par visu skolēnu iesaistīšanu mācību stundā, skolotāja lietotās valodas sarežģītību un runas ātrumu, kā arī vienādu attieksmi pret visiem skolēniem. Novērojot angļu valodas stundas, autore pie…
Finnish L2 proficiency for working life : towards research-based language education and supervision practices

This paper is part of a series of articles that gives an overview of language policies and research activities in the Nordic countries related to L2 in working life, together with a presentation of novel empirical analyses. Here, the focus is on the Finnish perspective. The aims of this paper are twofold. First, it provides an overall picture of the policies and research findings underlying recent tendencies in Finnish L2 language education in/for working life. After this, the article presents two case studies of clinical supervision practices in health c…
Micro-interactional insights from the English as a foreign language classroom
2014
In this paper, we examine instances of the methods pupils deploy to do language policy in an English as a foreign language classroom in Sweden, where there is a locally practised English-only rule. Although we exemplify some more tacit methods of constructing a monolingual classroom (Slotte-Lüttge 2007), we focus primarily on instances where pupils police other pupils and on occasion even the teacher, when they are perceived not to be upholding the rule. This blatantly explicit method of pupils doing language policy, which we term language policing, generally serves to (re-) establish and maintain English as the medium of interaction and instruction. The data for this study consists of vide…
Understanding Language Teacher Identities : Conceptualizations, practices and change
2019
This chapter presents some new approaches and questions in language teacher identity research that could facilitate a better understanding of the work of language teachers, and as a consequence help teacher educators to support them in that work. Language teacher research has shown that periods of change play an important role in identity development. In the field of general teacher research, several studies have addressed the significance of transition phases and changes in curriculum for teacher identities and beliefs. However, there has been some research on the significance of teacher education and transition to full-time teaching for language teacher identity development. A more partic…
