Tressage de sensation et hypersensibilité dans la poésie keatsienne
2020
La synesthesie, phenomene neurologique aujourd’hui reconnu, suscite depuis plusieurs annees un regain d’interet dans le monde scientifique comme le confirme la parution, en 2011, de l’article d’Herve-Pierre Lambert « La synesthesie. Vues de l’interieur », dans lequel l’auteur repertorie les evolutions historiques de l’etude du concept. En neuropsychologie, la synesthesie est un trouble de la perception sensorielle qui produit des associations previsibles, mais involontaires, entre differents ...
Dealing with Culture in Schools: A Small-Step Approach Towards Anti-racism in Finland
2017
This chapter discusses anti-racism education by focusing on how culture is used in educational discourses in Finland. More and more studies highlight the pervasive use of culture as a substitute for race, urging scholars to explore how and why cultural claims are made relevant (Breidenbach and Nyiri 2009; Piller 2011). Culture is present in numerous subjects (e.g. religion, literature, history, languages) and anti-racism education should therefore be understood from a holistic perspective. This chapter focuses on the Finnish context which is relevant to examine for two main reasons. First, Finnish school system is globally represented as high quality. Second, the new national curriculum, wh…
The representation of reality in teaching: A 'mimetic didactic' perspective on examples in plenary talk
2016
ABSTRACTUsing an observation study in Norwegian lower-secondary school classrooms this paper explores how subject matter and students’ real-world experiences are linked within the use of examples in teaching. The theory of “mimetic didactics” claims that giving students the possibility to interpret examples as both subject matter and something that is relevant to their own lives becomes a possibility through imaginative “as-if” experiences. The study finds that “as-if” experiences in the data are created by identifying with others and through a context-dependent knowledge base. The topics in the examples actualise being human within the political, economic and existential realm and offer po…

Eye Movement Analyses for Obtaining Readability Formula for Latvian Texts for Primary School
2017
To determine the difficulty of text, readability formulas can be used. The research was made to find readability formula for Latvian. Readability formulas for English were used as guidelines. The novelty was the use of eye movement tracking during reading to obtain quantitative data that lead to readability formula. Eye fixation durations were gathered during readability measurements. Average values of fixation durations were calculated to characterize texts and readers. 15 texts with various difficulty levels were composed for exposing them to readers. More than 300 children of grades 1 - 4 were participating in measurements. Average values of eye fixation durations of readers from a certa…
CLIL: A European Approach to Bilingual Education
2016
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is a term used especially in Europe for forms of bilingual education where an additional language, in most cases English, is used as the language of instruction in non‐language school subjects. This chapter outlines the development of CLIL, embedded both in European level policies and in growing awareness of the new orientations to language learning introduced, for example, in language immersion research. Because of its potential to serve as a context for meaningful language use and situated language learning, CLIL has been regarded by EU institutions as an important instrument to foster European citizens’ bi‐ and multilingualism, to be offere…

A Method for Building Massive Open Online Courses for Elderly People MOOCEP: From the User Perceptions
2018
This Research Full Paper presents the user perceptions when elderly people use a MOOC which was built by using the method for building massive open online courses for elderly people (MOOCEP). Context: Currently, the elderly population has increased in respect to the total population. According to Administration on Aging (AoA) for the year 2060, the elderly population will be double than presented in the results of the last census. Likewise, a reduced proportion of the population of elderly people is involved with technology or have a very close relation with it. However, the universal access to technology is important in the field of education and interactive systems due to the need of prom…
Los encapsuladores anafóricos: una propuesta de clasificación
2018
En este trabajo se define desde un punto de vista formal, semántico e informativo un tipo de sintagmas nominales encapsuladores. Se trata de sintagmas nominales con un componente anafórico que reifican y recategorizan fragmentos discursivos para convertirlos en puntos de anclaje informativos (temas) a partir de los cuales poder desarrollar el discurso. Son los llamados encapsuladores anafóricos (temáticos). Se propone asimismo una clasificación de los tipos de sintagmas que pueden desempeñar esta función discursiva, atendiendo a 3 parámetros: (a) la naturaleza léxico-semántica del núcleo nominal; (b) la presencia o ausencia de componentes axiológicos en el sintagma, y (c) el elemento sintag…
Two languages in the air: a cross-cultural comparison of preschool teachers’ reflections on their flexible bilingual practices
2020
This book article was originally published as a special issue of International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism. doi:10.1080/13670050.2016.1184615 Bilingual preschool education is under researched compared with bilingual school education. There is also a lack of research on bilingual preschool teachers’ agency and how they negotiate between two languages in the classroom. We examined the language practices of five bilingual preschool teachers working within three different socio-linguistic settings, in Finland (Finnish-Swedish and Russian-Finnish contexts), and Israel (an Arabic-Hebrew context) and interviewed the teachers about their use of languages in the classroom. We fou…
