Vozmožnosti ispol'zovaniâ raznyh âzykov v Laplandii : rossijskie turisty v Levi

2010

Pro gradu –työni tutkii venäläisturistien toimijuuden rakentumista monikielisessä turistisessa ympäristössä Levillä. Tavoitteena on selvittää, millainen osa venäjällä on Levin kielirepertuaarissa, millainen kielirepertuaari on haastattelemillani venäläisturisteilla ja miten he arvioivat Levin kielirepertuaaria. Lisäksi tutkin, millaisia arvoja ja funktioita venäläisturistien repertuaarit saavat Levillä. Tutkin työssäni kahta venäläisperhettä, jotka viettivät talvilomaansa Levillä. Työn pääasiallisena aineistona on perheiden kanssa tehdyt teemahaastattelut. Tutkimusta varten on kerätty myös muuta aineistoa, kuten muiden venäläisturistien täyttämät kyselylomakkeet, tutkijan havainnointi sekä …

"Oli kerran Tuulikki-tonttu" : sisäistekijyys ja tekijyys lapsen tuottamissa teoksissa

2013

Analysoin tutkielmassani viidestä kuuteen -vuotiaan tytön, Matildan, tuottamaa kolmea teosta Joulukirjaa, Autokirjaa ja ”Keijukirjaa” lähilukemalla niitä Michael Armstrongin (2006) narratiivisen analyysin avulla, tulkitsemalla niiden sisäistekijyyttä erityisesti Pekka Tammen (1992) ja Shlomith Rimmon-Kenanin (1991) teorian pohjalta sekä pohtimalla, millä tavalla tieto lapsesta tekijänä vaikuttaa teosten todellisen tekijyyden tulkintalähtökohtiin kirjallisuuden teoriassa. Oletan, että tulkitakseen lapsen tuottamia teoksia on tunnettava myös lapsuuskonteksti, jossa minulle tärkeitä lähteitä ovat olleet Susan Engel (1995) ja Liisa Karlsson (2005). Lastenkulttuurin tuntemus on tärkeää, kun tutk…

The role of informal learning in adults' literacy proficiency

2021

This study used the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) dataset to examine informal literacy learning’s effects on adults’ literacy proficiency. Also, the factors associated with informal literacy learning at and outside of work were studied. The study participants were Nordic adults aged 35–65 years. The statistical method was regression analysis, and the results indicate that informal literacy activities at work are associated primarily with occupation, and informal literacy activities outside of work with education, parents’ education and gender. Initial education, occupation, language background and age exerted the strongest estimated associations with r…

Parental discourses of language ideology and linguistic identity in multilingual Finland

2018

Finland is officially a bilingual country but it is in practice multilingual. In the current study, we examined how mothers and fathers of mixed-language families linguistically identified themselves and others, and how ideological discourses and concepts historically and socially situated in Finland circulated through the parents’ talk. The parents of three families in which at least Finnish, Swedish and English were used on a daily basis were interviewed. A discourse nexus approach showed that the concept of ‘mother tongue(s)’ played a central role and that although all family members were in practice multilingual, there was a strong tendency across the couples to identify themselves and …

När barnet blir expert: Förklaringar av ord och procedurer i det digitala spelet Growtopia

2019

The ability to explain word meanings is central to a child’s language development and socialisation into different domains of language use. In previous research explanations have been shown to be linked to cognitive and linguistic development as well as academic language and discursive skills. This paper analyses what kinds of linguistic and discursive competences are put to use in explanation activities in interactions between an 8-year-old bilingual child (Albin) and his mother around a digital game. The data comes from a larger data set of video-recordings and field observation of children’s interactions around games. The analysis focuses on explanation sequences in which the child expli…

Creating a bilingual pre-school classroom: the multilayered discourses of a bilingual teacher

2015

Teachers have an agentive role as they interpret, evaluate and develop language policies and practices. In the current study we interviewed a bilingual pre-school teacher in Finland during the first year of implementing a new way of working bilingually with a class of monolingual children. Applying nexus analysis, we explored the teacher discourses on the trajectory of the development of the new approach; the concepts, places and people that were circulating in her reflections; and how these connected with larger societal discourses. The analysis showed that the teacher's new bilingual language practices demanded the renegotiation of previously held personal and professional beliefs. The te…

L2 English vocabulary breadth and knowledge of derivational morphology : One or two constructs?

2022

Derivational morphology (DM) and how it can be assessed have been investigated relatively rarely in language learning and testing research. The goal of this study is to add to the understanding of the nature of DM knowledge, exploring whether and how it is separable from vocabulary breadth. Eight L2 (second or foreign language) English DM knowledge measures and three measures of the size of the English vocabulary were administered to 120 learners. We conducted two confirmatory factor analyses, one with one underlying factor and the other treating vocabulary breadth and DM as separate. As neither model had a satisfactory fit without introducing a residual covariance to the two-factor model,…
