EFL Teacher Education in Finland : Manifestations of Professional Agency in Teacher Educators’ Work

2020

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher educators play a key role in the development of university-based teacher education and the preparation of preservice EFL teachers. However, the professional agency of EFL teacher educators in developing their work remains understudied. Employing a Vygotskian sociocultural theoretical perspective, this research considers the individual and collective professional agency of eight EFL teacher educators at two Finnish universities. Findings demonstrate that individual professional agency is enacted in the expression of professional identity and the development of professional relationships, and in offering and receiving professional assistance.

Työ, talous ja tunteet Kari Hotakaisen Ihmisen osassa

2013

Kari Hotakaisen menestysromaani Ihmisen osa (2009) käsittelee suomalaista nyky-yhteiskuntaa, ja sen keskeisiä teemoja ovat työssä ja taloudessa tapahtuneet muutokset. Tämän artikkelin tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaisia romaanin kuvaamat muutokset ovat. Huomiota kiinnitetään varsinkin siihen, miten muutokset vaikuttavat henkilöhahmojen tunteisiin ja kokemuksiin maailmasta. Ajatuksena on, että Ihmisen osa antaa fiktiiviset kasvot suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa tapahtuvalle tunnerakenteen muutokselle. peerReviewed

"You've got the color, but you dont't have the shades" : primary education CLIL teachers' identity negotiation within the Finnish context

2018

This dissertation explores how professional identity is experienced by teachers in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) instruction.

In addition to exploring how these two sides of the professional self give rise to a broader understanding of professional identity, this dissertation also explores aspects of professional agency and the negotiation of emotions in their work. The dissertation is founded on fourteen interviews with Finnish kindergarten and primary education teachers doing CLIL. The data were thema…

Lexical Mixing in a Conversation between Old Helsinki Slang Speakers

2018

In this article, a conversation between Old Helsinki Slang (OHS) speakers recorded in 1965 is examined. A notable feature of OHS is the heavy use of Swedish-based or otherwise un-Finnish words although it mostly follows the grammar of colloquial Finnish. e sample that is analyzed consists of free speech, and it lasts 65 minutes. If uncertain items are taken into account, then the proportion of borrowed lexical items in the data is 29–32%. Function and content words in OHS di er markedly in their etymological origin as the function words are overwhelmingly Finnish. Although OHS has some phonological and phonotactical features that are strikingly “un-Finnish,” it is apparent that these featur…

UTTAL AV S2-FINSKA MED FOKUS PÅ SVENSKSPRÅKIGA TALARE

2016

I undersökningen analyseras 11 inföddliknande S2-talares uttal av finska. Sex av talarna har finlandssvenska som S1, fem av talarna har sverigesvenska, tyska, franska, ryska resp. spanska som S1. Talarnas uttal undersöktes dels genom ett test med finskspråkiga lyssnare (n=93), dels genom att S2-talarnas uttal jämfördes akustiskt med uttalet hos talare med finska som S1. Vidare jämfördes de finlandssvenska talarnas uttal av finska och svenska. Resultaten visar att finlandssvenska talare skiljer sig som grupp från infödda finskspråkiga talare och från talare med ett annat S1 än finlandssvenska. De flesta finlandssvenskar bröt mycket svagt. Stavelselängderna och intonationen i långa ord orsaka…
