Contesting language policy for asylum seekers in the Northern periphery: the story of Tailor F
2020
AbstractThis article is about navigating asylum, employment and language policy in a new country as an asylum seeker. Through the story of one individual, we show that profound inequalities are exacerbated when forced migrants are limited in their choice of language they might study or use. The individual is Tailor F, an Iraqi man seeking asylum, and the country is Finland, officially bilingual, with a majority language (Finnish) and a minority language (Swedish). Finland’s official bilingualism does not extend evenly to language education provided for asylum seekers, who are taught Finnish regardless of the region where they are placed. Upon arrival, Tailor F was housed in a reception cent…
Maahanmuuttajien kielitaito - yhteiskunnan resurssi vai yksilön kätköissä oleva pääoma? : esimerkkinä toisen polven suomenunkarilaiset
2014
The language policy of the European Union has the goal that every citizen will be bilingual and everybody will be able to communicate in two diQ erent languages besides one’s mother tongue. The aim of this article is to investigate the conditions for reaching these goals among people with immigrant backgrounds. The article provides an overview of bilingualism among one group of adults with Hungarian background in Finland. The focus is on language repertoire (e.g. the self-assessed language pro+ ciency), language choice between Finnish and Hungarian, the role of the minority language in their everyday lives and the future prospect for maintenance of Hungarian. The entire article is based on …
‘I’m a foreign teacher’: legitimate positionings in the stories of a migrant teacher
2022
This qualitative study examines one migrant teacher’s identity positions in the context of a peer mentoring group setting in Finland. Combining theories of legitimacy and teacher narratives, this study asked which positions were available and legitimate for a migrant teacher. The analysis of three of the stories the teacher (‘Ji Yoo’) shared was inspired by Barkhuizen’s three-step framework for examining positioning in teacher narratives. Findings showed that Ji Yoo’s most legitimate positions were being ‘foreign’, novice teacher, cultural broker, and expert teacher, the latter two being the least frequent and least explicit ones. The authors suggest that migrant teachers’ struggles of havi…
DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SPACE CONNECTING TEACHERS AND REFUGEE CHILDREN - A DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH STUDY
2020
Learning the German language is one of the most critical challenges for refugee children in Germany. It is a prerequisite to allow communication and integration into the educational system. To solve the underlying problem, we conceptualized a set of principles for the design of language learning systems to support collaboration between teachers and refugee children, using a Design Science Research approach. The proposed design principles offer functional and non-functional requirements of systems, including the integration of open educational resources, different media types to develop visual and audio narratives that can be linked to the cultural and social background. This study also illu…

Integration av invandrare i idrottsundervisningen : en kvalitativ studie om idrottslärares upplevelser
2016
Sandvik, J. 2016. Integration av invandrare i idrottsundervisningen. – En kvalitativ studie om idrottslärares upplevelser. Jyväskylä universitet. Pro gradu -avhandling. Sidantal: 64. Syftet med denna pro gradu –avhandling var att utreda finlandssvenska idrottslärares upplevelser av mångkulturella undervisningsgrupper. Målsättningen var därtill att ta reda på lärarnas eventuella lösningar till komplicerade situationer, som kan uppstå då man undervisar elever med varierande kulturell bakgrund i ett praktiskt läroämne som idrott. Finland blir i en allt snabbare takt mångkulturellt, vilket innebär att dagens skola ställer högre krav än tidigare på idrottslärarens kulturella kompetens och förmåg…
