Does vocationally oriented foreign language teaching meet the needs of Finnish and German vocational school students?
2019
This article is based on upper secondary vocational school students’ interviews made in Finland and in Germany in 2016 and in 2017. The study results suggest that in both countries, English language skills are seen as the most important foreign language skills and the students would like to have more vocationally oriented English language classes with focus on authentic spoken language communication. The differences in the educational systems of the two countries might result in differences in students‘ perceptions of whether and to what extent they will actually need foreign languages in their future working life. nonPeerReviewed

You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant: l’ home restaurant tra libertà di iniziativa economica, tutela del consumatore e della concorren…
2020
The essay starts with a comparison between the different definitions of the concept of home restaurant proposed by experts, suppliers, home cookers, on-line platforms, and the one provided by a bill drafted during the XVII legislature. The Author describes the activity of those who offer such kind of service in the market, proposing some reflections on the nature of such activity, on the necessity of ensuring food’s health standards, on consumer’s health and wealth, on the protection of competitors professional restaurant’s cookers (if they can be considered as such), on the mechanisms through which demand and offer match together through on-line platforms, social networks or apps. These is…
The Basiles, three Generations of Architects. Basile's Atelier.
2013
In the mid-Nineteenth century young Giovan Battista Filippo Basile decided to pursue his career of architecture. He didn’t know he was going to be the founder of a dynasty of professionals. A dynasty that characterized the artistic culture of Sicily for about a century. His son, Ernesto, can be inserted between the genial personalities of the European art scene of all time. He will be the protagonist of Italian Art Nouveau. Grandsons, Roberto and Giovan Battista Filippo Jr., carry the paternal language to contemporary in many works at the turn of the Second World War. From Neoclassicism to Rationalism, through Eclecticism and Modernism, Basile architects and engineers have followed the evol…
Communication apprehension in the EFL classroom : a study of Finnish and Finnish-Swedish upper secondary school students and teachers
2013
Tämä tutkimus käsitteli suomalaisten ja suomenruotsalaisten englannin kielen viestintäarkuutta kvantitatiivisesta ja kvalitatiivisesta näkökulmasta. Tarkoitus oli ensiksi selvittää, miten paljon eng. viestintäarkuutta koettiin yleisesti sekä eri tilanteissa, ja miten tutkitut ryhmät erosivat toisistaan. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitettiin muutaman ennalta määritetyn taustamuuttujan korrelaatiota yleiseen viestintäarkuuteen. Viestintäarkuuden taustalla oleviin aspekteihin pureuduttiin neljän eri teeman kautta, jotka edustivat mahdollisia viestintäarkuuden syitä. Kvalitatiivisessa osassa taas tutkittiin haastatteluin kuuden eri opettajan näkemyksiä viestintäarkuuden syistä ja vaikutuksista eng…

Measuring something that cannot be grasped – Reflections about Methodology in Elicitation of Spoken Competence
2014
The focus of this article is on reflections about methodology and the methodical choices in empirical research into the role of consciousness in the acquisition of spoken competence in German as second or third foreign language. Seeing language as a complex, dynamic system, I want to show how learning fluctuates. I would like to demonstrate that there is a continuous fluctuation between nonlinearity and stability which depends on particular driving forces. These forces have to be captured by methods whose aim is to increase the certainty of data. These reflections were proved by a case that wants to demonstrate how a multi-methodical approach works in this direction.
Auditory P3a response to native and foreign speech in children with or without attentional deficit
2023
The aim of this study was to investigate the attentional mechanism in speech processing of native and foreign language in children with and without attentional deficit. For this purpose, the P3a component, cognitive neuromarker of the attentional processes, was investigated in a two-sequence two-deviant oddball paradigm using Finnish and English speech items via event-related potentials (ERP) technique. The difference waves reflected the temporal brain dynamics of the P3a response in native and foreign language contexts. Cluster-based permutation tests evaluated the group differences over the P3a time window. A correlation analysis was conducted between the P3a response and the attention sc…
2nd and 3rd graders' attitudes towards the English language : attitudes before and after studying English at school
2014
Oppilaat aloittavat Suomessa englannin opiskelun useimmiten 3. luokalla. Englannin kieli on kuitenkin vahvasti läsnä Suomessa esimerkiksi mediassa ja ulkomaalaisten kautta. Monet perheet myös matkustavat ulkomaille. Siksi onkin syytä olettaa, että lapsilla on asenteita englannin kieltä kohtaan jo ennen kuin he aloittavat sen opiskelun koulussa. Asenteilla on suuri merkitys englannin kielen oppimistuloksien kannalta. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia millaisia asenteita lapsilla on englannin kieltä kohtaan 2. luokan keväällä ja kuinka asenteet ovat muuttuneet 3. luokan kevääseen mennessä, kun he ovat opiskelleet englantia suurin piirtein yhden lukuvuoden verran. Tutkimus käsittelee my…
