PROFESSIONAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMPETENCE FOR SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION INTO THE LABOUR MARKET
2019
Good knowledge of a foreign language is an important factor contributing to the professional recognition and career prospects. In order to improve professional foreign language competence, the study of the situation in professional foreign language teaching and learning was carried out in three business sectors: logistics, transport, service industry. The survey was carried among three target groups: employers, foreign language teachers and students. Employers were asked to name language skills which employees need most to perform work, to express an opinion on the role of employers in the English language learning process as well as to identify topics, most common words, phrases, or specif…
Teacher Educators’ Professional Identity in English-Medium Instruction at a Finnish University
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021, University of Ljubljana. All rights reserved. Although different forms of English-medium instruction (EMI) are being recognised, the different ways in which EMI can impact the pedagogical activities and expertise of higher education educators have received less attention. Using face-to-face and written interviews with nine teacher educators at a Finnish university, this study examines the most important aspects teacher educators perceive in their work through EMI and how these aspects connect to the understanding of their professional identity. The study is theoretically premised on the interconnected concepts of pedagogical doing, pedagogical being, pedagogical…

Home Country Institutions and Outward FDI: An Exploratory Analysis in Emerging Economies

Although the internationalization of economies is driven by specific industry conditions or business-specific differences, the institutions that exist as background conditions directly determine firms&rsquo
Strangers on the board
2019
The internationalization of firms has led to boards becoming more international as well. In this study, we investigate the consequences of board internationalization. In particular, by drawing on research on language and board dynamics, we identify theory-based reasons why board internationalization could increase, or decrease, earnings management practices. We use agency theory, stressing how board internationalization may positively or negatively affect monitoring quality of boards. Next to agency theory, we use theories explaining how language differences in the boardroom complicates communication and how differences in language structures (referred to as linguistic relativity in the lit…
Textos de identidad digitales: Una valiosa herramienta para el estudio de la construcción de la identidad y el aprendizaje lingüístico en ILE
2018
Resumen: El presente trabajo se centra en el análisis de la identidad en textos de identidad digitales producidos por estudiantes de inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE). Este estudio tiene como objetivo general promover el uso de estos textos como estrategia del enfoque de enseñanza para la transferencia lingüística y el éxito académico (Cummins, 2001, 2005b, 2006) y el refuerzo de la relación familia-escuela (Coll & Falsafi, 2010). Los textos identitarios permiten a los estudiantes crear y evaluar sus identidades, de modo que el alumno toma conciencia de quién es como aprendiz de lenguas, afianzando las distintas posiciones que conforman su identidad, estableciendo relaciones con identidad…
Creating and implementing a didactic sequence as an educational strategy for foreign language teaching
2013
Este texto gira en torno a una secuencia didáctica (SD) realizada durante el curso 2011-2012, en un grupo de 6º de primaria en la escuela pública Jaume I ''El Conqueridor'' de Catarroja, Valencia (España), en el área de Enseñanza de lengua extranjera (inglés). Tuvo por objeto familiarizar a los estudiantes con la escritura de textos expositivos. Una serie de estrategias pedagógicas (redundancia de vocabulario, familiaridad con las ideas presentadas, y el uso de una hoja de control que potenciase la autonomía del alumnado) se pusieron en práctica para que el desarrollo de los talleres se experimentase como un proceso cohesionado, unitario y coherente. El diseño final de la SD logró un equili…
An analysis of the quality of english testing for Aviation purposes in Finland
2009
This article describes and analyses the development of a new test of aviation English by the Finnish Civil Aviation Authority (FCAA), as well as the overall situation in Finland as regards the testing of aviation English. The article describes the FCAA development project and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the new test and the whole testing system, often with reference to the framework of test usefulness proposed by Bachman and Palmer (1996). The quality of the overall system in Finland appears to be quite variable as it is based on the principle of decentralization, in which the FCAA evaluates and approves different tests to be used for certifying the English language skills of …
