Middle School Students’ Perceptions Towards Linguistic Diversity in the Classroom

2014

In 2010, a heated political controversy centered on the Arizona Department of Education's desire to prohibit "heavily accented or ungrammatical teachers” from teaching English Language Learners (Blum & Johnson 2012; Jordan 2010). However, although an administrative practice such as this would greatly affect students’, their attitudes towards linguistic diversity in the classroom have been largely neglected. By surveying 94 middle school students in a public school district in the southwestern United States, this study sought to understand students’ attitudes regarding teachers’ and classmates’ accents and the factors that may influence them, such as their language background and the presenc…

Language choice in EFL teaching : student teachers' perceptions

2012

Vieraan kielen opettaja tekee luokkahuoneessa jatkuvasti valintoja luokkahuonekielen suhteen, olivatpa nuo valinnat sitten tietoisia tai tiedostamattomia. Opettaja voi puhua joko kohdekieltä tai oppilaiden äidinkieltä niissä eri vuorovaikutustilanteissa, joita hän oppitunnilla kohtaa. Kielenvalinta vieraan kielen opetuksessa on synnyttänyt paljon keskustelua asiantuntijoiden keskuudessa. Onkin syntynyt kaksi eri ajattelukuntaa: toiset puhuvat äidinkielen käytön puolesta, kun taas toiset kannattavat eksklusiivista kohdekielen käyttöä. Tämä tutkimus keskittyi englannin opetusharjoittelijoiden näkemyksiin äidinkielen ja kohdekielen käytöstä ja siihen, miten he tulkitsevat omia kielivalintojaan…

Negotiation strategies and offers : perceptions of mergers and acquisitions advisors

2014

This thesis sought to identify mergers and acquisitions advisors’ perceptions of their own negotiation strategies in a typical negotiation. Additionally, the thesis examined the potential association between the first offer and a negotiator’s perception of his or her own negotiation strategy. This was researched empirically by presenting the negotiators two different first offer negotiation scenarios. In the first scenario, a buyer presented a first offer that was higher than a negotiator’s reservation value. In the second scenario, a buyer presented a first offer that was lower than a negotiator’s reservation value. The theoretical framework of the thesis was based on the negotiation analy…

Prose fiction in the English classoom : perceptions of IB students

2013

Kirjallisuuden opiskelun merkitystä kielenoppimisessa on tutkittu laajalti, ja se on todettu tärkeäksi ja toimivaksi menetelmäksi. Opiskelijoiden omat näkemykset asiasta saattavat myös vaikuttaa oppimistuloksiin, mutta ne ovat aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa jääneet huomiotta. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, pitävätkö oppilaat kirjallisuuden opiskelua hyvänä tapana oppia englannin kieltä. Tutkimus kohdentuu kansainvälisen IB-tutkinnon opiskelijoihin, koska siinä vieraan kielen laajan tason (higher level) opetussuunnitelmaan kuuluu oleellisena osana kirjallisuusanalyysi. Tutkielmassa kartoitetaan laajan tason ja suppeamman tason (standard level) opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä kirjallisuuden kä…

Funzioni e percezioni del territorio. L’esperienza del GAC «Il sole e l’azzurro: tra Selinunte, Sciacca e Vigata»

2018

Il presente contributo s’inserisce nel dibattito sulla riorganizzazione territoriale dell’Italia a partire da progettualità e voca- zioni di sviluppo condivise dai territori. In particolare, viene analizzato il sistema di governance e attività che, in seno alle politiche comunitarie, specie a quelle condotte con approccio LEADER, è stato proposto dal GAC «Il Sole e l’Azzurro: tra Selinunte, Sciacca e Vigata». I GAC (Gruppi di Azione Costiera) sono partenariati pubblico-privati che, con un approccio bottom-up, sono preposti a valorizzare il comparto ittico e, più in generale, gli assets costieri dei territori. Attraverso un approccio geogra co ed etnogra co, declinato mediante la conduzione …
