Modeling foreign exchange market activity around macroeconomic news: Hawkes-process approach

2015

We present a Hawkes-model approach to the foreign exchange market in which the high-frequency price dynamics is affected by a self-exciting mechanism and an exogenous component, generated by the pre-announced arrival of macroeconomic news. By focusing on time windows around the news announcement, we find that the model is able to capture the increase of trading activity after the news, both when the news has a sizable effect on volatility and when this effect is negligible, either because the news in not important or because the announcement is in line with the forecast by analysts. We extend the model by considering noncausal effects, due to the fact that the existence of the news (but not…

In the present world International tourism is one of the most quickly and dynamically developing sectors of economy. In the year 2012 - for the first time in the history of humankind - international tourist arrivals exceeded one billion tourists globally; and within merely 20 years’ time, i.e. between 1995 and 2015, the number of people travelling abroad as tourists more than doubled. The phenomenon also refers to the inbound tourism in Poland - with more than 16 million international tourists who visited our country in 2015. Obviously, on the one hand, the fact is highly beneficial for the country's international prestige and economy, but on the other hand, it does create certain challenge…

Maldivas y el delicado equilibrio entre India y China

2019

Maldivas es la nación más pequeña de Asia Meridional en términos de población, superficie y PBI. A pesar de ello, este pequeño archipiélago tiene una gran importancia estratégica, en virtud de su ubicación en medio de las rutas marítimas internacionales del océano Índico, y en su cercanía a las costas de la India. La propuesta de este artículo es exponer los cambios que se produjeron en Maldivas durante la presidencia de Abdulla Yameen en cuanto a la política interna, como así también a las relaciones exteriores, y observar en qué momento estas dos tendencias se cruzan para formar parte de una misma trama. A su vez, analizar finalmente las consecuencias que esto tiene para el país y para la…

When the print meets the screen: Towards a model of L1 and L2 online reading comprehension

2019

The spread of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has been changing literacy practices and activities. Consequently, the traditional view of literacy as the ability to read and write needs to be revised to encompass new forms of literacy called e-literacy, or “digital/silicon/electronic literacies” (Murray & McPherson, 2006, p. 132) as well as “hyperreading” (Usó-Juan & Ruiz-Madrid, 2009, p. 59). The members of the 21st century “global”, “fluid” and “networked” (Jewitt, 2008) societies engage in activities that the access to the WWW makes possible. The aim of the paper is to discuss print-based models of reading, identify similarities and differences between online and offline…

Investigating former pupils’ experiences and perceptions of CLIL in Finland: a retrospective analysis

2019

The educational approach known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), in which content is taught partly through a foreign language, has gained great popularity in Europe in the past few decades. In Finland, CLIL has been in use since 1991 and, despite some fluctuations in its popularity, has gained a relatively stable place in the Finnish education system. CLIL has been extensively studied, but previous CLIL research has mostly focused on pupils currently enrolled in CLIL. This study takes a novel perspective by investigating CLIL retrospectively, through the eyes of former pupils. The data used are in-depth interviews with 24 former pupils who attended a CLIL class in Finland …

The Early Bird Gets The Word Games and Play: Creating a Context For Authentic Language Learning

Early foreign language teaching has recently been made compulsory in Finland, making this an area open to development and innovation where policy - makers and teachers play a significant role in creating new kinds of learning environments, operating cultures, and pedagogy for foreign language learning. This article discusses the early foreign language learning landscape in the context of early foreign language learning theory, initial education pedagogy as well as functional foreign language learning. The cornerstone of this study is the Contextual Pedagogical approach to Learning, which creates a bridge between the theory and practice of early foreign language learning, creating an inspiri…

“I felt a bit nervous” : Virtual Exchange as an emotional journey

2021

Virtual Exchange is a collective term for a set of collaborative online learning practices that cut across institutional, cultural, and international borders. Moving outside their learning environments, the participants engage in project work with foreign peers. The teams have to work across time zones, use foreign languages, manage cultural differences and apply digital tools for communication and collaboration. The virtual projects enhance the development of transversal work/life skills, which are an asset in today’s global labour market. The aim of the present study is to explore the emotional trajectory of Virtual Exchange based on the students’ e-portfolios. By analysing the self-evalu…

Pronunciation teaching in a Finnish secondary school : a case study

2016

Ääntäminen on kiinteä osa hyvää kielitaitoa, mutta sen opettaminen on jäänyt vähälle huomiolle. Koska koulujen tehtävä on kuitenkin antaa oppilaille mahdollisimman hyvä kielitaito, ääntämistä pitäisi opettaa enemmän. Opetuksen vähäisyys voi johtua sen arvostelun vaikeudesta ja siitä, ettei opettajankoulutuksessa kunnolla ohjata opiskelijoita sen opettamisessa. Lisäksi, vaikka kommunikatiivinen kielenopetus (CLT) sisältääkin paljon oppilaiden välisiä suullisia harjoituksia, se ei kuitenkaan keskity ääntämisen opettamiseen. Osittain ääntämisen opetuksen vähyys johtuu siitä, että sen tutkimus on jäänyt vähälle huomioille ja sen opettamisen on ajateltu olevan tarpeetonta ja tehotonta. Tässä tut…
