Vocabulary learning strategies used by upper secondary school students studying English as a second language
2008
Subject-verb agreement of finite verbs in the present tense in written productions of Finnish secondary school learners of English as second language
2012
Subjektin ja verbin välinen kongruenssi on englannin kieliopin perusasioita, joka toimii tiettyjen säännön-alaisuuksien mukaisesti. Ilmiö on kuitenkin kiinnostava, sillä jopa edistyneetkin oppijat tekevät konguenssin tuottamisessa virheitä. Aiemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että muun muassa subjektin kompleksisuudella ja semanttisilla piirteillä on vaikutusta kongruenssin hallintaan. Aiemmat tutkimukset eivät kuitenkaan ole ottaneet huomioon oppijoiden taitotasoja ja mahdollisia eroja kongruenssin tuottamisessa eri taitotasojen välillä Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten yläkoulu-ikäisten taitotasoeroilla on vaikutusta kongruenssin tuottamiseen englannin kielessä. Tutkim…

How Wild Can It Get? Managing Language Learning Tasks in Real Life Service Encounters
2019
This chapter explores how experientially based pedagogical activities that involve participation in real life service encounters provide occasions for developing L2 interactional competence. The data comprises novice L2 students’ self-recorded interactions in service settings and videorecordings of classroom planning activities and de-briefing discussions, where the students reflect on their experiences. The analysis traces what kinds of occasions for learning arise as the students move between the classroom and the real-world service settings. The findings show that the different phases of the task complement each other in supporting the development of interactional competence. The prepara…
Tietokoneavusteinen suomen kielen kvantiteetin harjoittelu: venäjänkielisen suomea opettelevan lapsen ja suomenkielisen luku- ja kirjoitushäiriöisen …
2013
Kaksi ensiluokkalaista lasta, oppimispulmaton venäjänkielinen suomenoppija ja suomenkielinen luku- ja kirjoitushäiriöinen lapsi, joilla kummallakin oli ongelmia vokaalikvantiteetin tunnistustaidossa, osallistuivat tietokonepohjaiseen kvantiteettipeli-interventioon. Tunnistustaito mitattiin jakson aikana seitsemän kertaa, ja kielelliset ja kognitiiviset taidot alku-, loppu- ja seurantamittauksessa. Venäjänkielisen lapsen tunnistustaito sekä kvantiteetin yleinen erottelutaito paranivat heti harjoittelun myötä. Myös kvantiteetin luku- ja oikeinkirjoitustarkkuus, foneemien ja grafeemien tuntemus ja fonologinen tietoisuus parantuivat. Lukuja kirjoitushäiriöisellä lapsella tunnistustaito parantui…
The Other Side as a Rule Rather than an Exception
2015
Abstract Currently, intercultural and heterogeneous realities set the tone in 21st literary education. Therefore, the role of multicultural children's literature plays an essential role in order to reflect this intercultural diversity in Spanish classrooms. In this regard, The Other Side (2001) portrays an African American experience where interaction, communication and negotiation become crucial aspects for their protagonists. In this way, this picture book can be used not only to teach English as a foreign language in primary school, but also to show values like respect, tolerance and partnership.
New is not always costly: evidence from online processing of topic and contrast in Japanese.
2013
Two visual ERP experiments were conducted to investigate topic and contrast assigned by various cues such as discourse context, sentential position and marker during referential processing in Japanese. Experiment 1 showed that there was no N400-difference for new vs. given noun phrases (NPs) when the new NP was expected (contrastively focused) based on its preceding context and sentential position. Experiment 2 further revealed that the N400 for new NPs can be modulated by the NP’s contrastive meaning (exhausitivity) induced from the marker. Both experiments also showed that new NPs engendered an increased Late Positivity. The reduced N400 for new vs. given supports an expectation-based lin…
L’opposizione alto/basso nella toponomastica dell’area subalpina
2015
Il contributo proposto esamina la presenza e la distribuzione di alcune serie toponimiche correlate ai concetti ‘alto’ e ‘basso’ sul territorio piemontese, cercando di evidenziare le possibili valenze a livello denotativo e connotativo. Le risorse offerte dal sistema ToP-GIS, elaborato all’interno del Centro Studi di Onomastica dell’Università di Torino, permettono un sistematico rilevamento dei dati e una lettura del territorio su più piani; nell’interpretazione del sistema si è adottata una prospettiva diacronica, illustrando le forme toponomastiche riconducibili a realtà linguistiche prelatine e a varietà romanze diverse dall’italiano. Insistendo sulle tracce medievali, si evidenzia inol…
The Need to Approach the Management of the Tourist Destination by the Central and Local Public Authorities in Romania
2017
Abstract In the medium and long term, priorities in the development of tourism aim to develop a complex tourist offer, making the most of the natural and anthropogenic resources existing in connection with the preservation of the environment and the heritage. On the long run, it will contribute to raising the living standards of the population, especially social categories with lower chances of reintegration into the labour market (people made redundant in industry, elderly people etc.). Implementation of the strategy at regional level must be achieved through an active partnership between Romanian public authorities, economic agents and private investors, with the involvement of the federa…
Llatí i consciència política a la Catalunya setcentista
2014
Resum: El propòsit d’aquest article és palesar que la presència del llatí al segle XVIII a Catalunya no es redueix a edicions escolars, documents jurídics, tractats d’apologètica catòlica i escrits de devoció i pietat. La llengua llatina serveix també per difondre idees i postulats polítics al voltant d’esdeveniments del moment. En aquestes pàgines ens centrem en una sèrie de textos en llatí que han estat menystinguts o simplement ignorats per historiadors i filòlegs per raons lingüístiques i estètiques. Objecte de la nostra anàlisi són, sobretot, els escrits que descriuen els dos setges que Barcelona va patir la tardor del 1705 i la primavera de l’any següent. Particular atenció mereixerà …
