The world is your oyster! : a material package for teaching handcrafts through CLIL

2014

Globalisoituvassa, verkottuvassa ja monikulttuuristuvassa maailmassa kyky kommunikoida vierailla kielillä ja kulttuurien tuntemus muuttuvat yhä tärkeämmiksi taidoiksi, joita myös suomalaisen koulun on kyettävä välittämään oppilaille. Eräs lähestymistapa tämän tavoitteen toteuttamiseksi on Content and Language Integrated Learning eli CLIL, jonka mukaisessa opetuksessa keskitytään sekä käytetyn vieraan kielen että käsiteltävänä olevan oppiaineen sisällön oppimiseen. CLIL mahdollistaa vieraan kielen käytön paitsi oppimisen kohteena, myös sen välineenä, mikä kasvattaa oppilaiden kommunikaatiotaitoja ja motivaatiota kielen oppimiseen. Tämä opinnäytetyö tarjoaa opettajien käyttöön oppimateriaalip…

"Co to są czary? Co za znaki ich?" Litewskie kazanie i sposoby na czary z końca XVII i XVIII w

2018

Witchcraft as a crime attracted the attention of Polish-Lithuanian society in many aspects at the turn of 17th and 18th centuries. On the one hand, it was connected with a belief in its efficiency, in the existence of witches and sorcerers, and their covenant with the devil. The article analyzes two manuscripts: a prayer „Modlitwa przeciwko czarom i niebezpieczeństwom” and a sermon „ Jako się strzedz czarów i potwarzy o nie”. The sermon utilizes contemporary rhetoric, stresses the importan-ce of sin and appeals to the receivers through fear. What is somewhat surprising, the text maintains that most witchcraft happened with God’s permission, as God allows the devil to function in the society…

Extended Families as Communities of Religious Experience in Late Seventeenth-Century Eastern Finland

2022

AbstractThis chapter offers an interpretation of extended families as communities of experience in a rural area close to the eastern border of the Swedish realm. Through a case study of lower court records, Kuha examines the social and religious life in a 17th-century farm culminating in the crisis of an extended family. The chapter explores how practices of lived religion shaped the relationship of the community and the individual, and how experiences were negotiated within families and local communities. The analysis highlights the importance of protecting the boundaries of the household as well as the meaning of religious practices in creating cohesion within the community.
