Corrective feedback and learner uptake in an EFL classroom
2007
Oral errors, corrective feedback and learner uptake in an EFL setting
2012
Oppilaiden kielelliset virheet ovat luonnollinen osa luokkahuonediskurssia vieraiden kielten oppitunneilla. Opettaja antaa usein korjaavaa palautetta (corrective feedback) oppilaidensa virheisiin, ja parhaassa tapauksessa palaute auttaa oppilaita oppimaan virheistään. Tutkielma pyrkii kartoittamaan erilaisia opettajien käyttämiä keinoja, kun he antavat korjaavaa palautetta oppilaiden puheessa tekemiin virheisiin. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan myös oppilaiden tapaa reagoida palautteeseen (uptake) ja sitä, onnistuvatko oppilaat korjaamaan alkuperäiset virheensä (repair). Tutkimuksen kohteena on kaksi lukiotason luokkaa ja heidän opettajansa. Aineisto koostuu kahdeksasta englannin tunnista (yhtee…
Linguistic Repertoires and Semiotic Resources in Interaction: A Finnish Manager as a Mediator in a Multilingual Meeting
2010
This article examines professional communication in a multilingual meeting in a small company in Finland within ethnographic, sociolinguistic, and discourse analytic frameworks. English is used as a lingua franca by a group of Finnish and Chinese business professionals. The aim is to study how language is used with other semiotic resources to construct meaning in interaction. In particular, with the focus on an individual participant who was the mediator in the meeting, the goal is to analyze participants’ role alignment and interpersonal relationships. The results show that business professionals’ roles are renegotiable in a meeting and by means of language accompanied by embodied actions …
William Penn, solicitor of the Quakers, and the interplay between legal and religious language
2008
English law is repeatedly referred to in the works of the Quaker leader William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania and a great advocate of religious tolerance. A literary and linguistic analysis of the works of William Penn, therefore, can give a vivid, interesting picture of the religious debate which characterized the political arena in 17th and 18th century England, especially as far as legal, political and religious discourse and terminology are concerned. The first part of my paper deals with the importance of law for William Penn and among Friends, underlining how such relevance was given expression in 17th century Quaker literature. Secondly, it concentrates on the interplay between l…
Discourse between teacher and student : The effect of teacher s style of communication on learning environment as viewed in literature and the cinema
2009
Tutkielman tavoitteena oli tarkastella, kuinka opettajan tapa kommunikoida luokkansa ja yksittäisten noin 15 18-vuotiaiden oppilaidensa kanssa vaikuttaa vallitsevaan oppimisilmapiiriin. Kysymystä tarkasteltiin fiktiivisten lähteiden kautta, ja aineistona käytettiin kolmea erilaista datanäytettä, jotka oli julkaistu eri vuosikymmeninä: Dead Poets Society (Kuolleiden runoilijoiden seura) 1980-luvulla, Dangerous minds (Levottomat sielut) 1990-luvulla ja Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix (Harry Potter ja Feeniksin kilta) 2000-luvun alussa. Tutkielmassa käytettyä dataa käytettiin taustakirjallisuuden kanssa ensimmäistä kertaa kyseessä olevan tutkimuskysymyksen analysoimiseen. Jokaisesta dat…
Discursive approaches of football commentary in french and in romanian between printed press and digital press
2017
Our thesis proposes to analyse a sports-related phenomenon deeply rooted in the social environment – the football – by looking into its linguistic dimension. Our thesis is part of a comparative framework developed at two levels. Thus, a first level aims at a comparison between bilingual corpora made up of commentaries of League 1 football matches (season 2014-2015, in France and in Romania) and of commentaries of football matches of the World Cup in Brazil (2014), in French and in Romanian. These corpora are described by means of the criteria for their selection, collection and constitution. The second level – which constitutes the specificity of our approach – lies in the comparison of the…

Pictorial Real, Historical Intermedial. Digital Aesthetics and the Representation of History in Eric Rohmer’sThe Lady and the Duke
2016
AbstractInThe Lady and the Duke(2001), Eric Rohmer provides an unusual and “conservative” account of the French Revolution by recurring to classical and yet “revolutionary” means. The interpolation between painting and film produces a visual surface which pursues a paradoxical effect of immediacy and verisimilitude. At the same time though, it underscores the represented nature of the images in a complex dynamic of “reality effect” and critical meta-discourse. The aim of this paper is the analysis of the main discursive strategies deployed by the film to disclose an intermedial effectiveness in the light of its original digital aesthetics. Furthermore, it focuses on the problematic relation…
Precarious Sovereignty in a Post-Liberal Europe : the Covid-19 Emergency in Estonia and Finland
2020
The paper addresses a puzzle resulting from the current global state of alert: the coronavirus pandemic brought us back to the world of the allegedly sovereign nation states with borders and national governments in charge, yet in fact, this retrieved sovereignty looks very vulnerable and precarious. We explain this controversy through a triad of concepts—sovereignty, governmentality, and post-liberalism—that we apply to an analysis of a corona-imposed state of emergency in Estonia and Finland. Based on comparative case study research, we posit that sovereignty is precarious in post-liberalism due to its large dependence on the technologies of responsibilization and agency. From a biopolitic…
Volver al sentido de la ciudad. Reflexiones hermenéuticas y éticas
2020
El propósito de esta contribución es delinear las principales reflexiones sobre la ética de ciudad surgidas en los últimos años. Para ello se abordan, en primer lugar, las conexiones entre racionalidad práctica, urbanismo y espacio público desde la perspectiva del pragmatismo crítico y de la ciencia social fronética. Estas propuestas nos proporcionan el marco hermenéutico para presentar a continuación algunas de las aproximaciones éticas más relevantes que pueden aplicarse a las ciudades actuales: la ética de las virtudes urbanas, el derecho a la ciudad, el movimiento de la ciudad justa, el giro urbano de la ética, la ética del ambiente construido, la ética del diseño y la conducta medioamb…
