Mehrsprachigkeit von Lernern mit Migrationshintergrund im finnischen Fremdsprachenunterricht : Perspektiven der Lerner, Lehrpersonen und Erziehungsbe…

2016

The goal of this study is to examine how the relatively new phenomenon of multilingualism in the Finnish education system is presently managed in foreign language classes in the Finnish comprehensive school. The focus is on how bi- and multilingual learners with migration background can benefit from their previous individual language experiences, language learning experiences and language awareness processes, and how these function as a resource for their further (foreign) language learning process. Until now migration research in the Finnish context concentrating on language learning mainly consists of second language acquisition. This study, however, focusses on foreign language learning …

Om hur finskspråkiga och svenskspråkiga lyssnare bedömer och värderar avancerade talares uttal av finlandssvenska

2018

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera avancerade finskspråkiga inlärares uttal av finlandssvenska i fritt tal: vilka är de svåraste inlärningsmålen i S2-uttal (andra- och främmande språk) och hurdana skillnader finns det mellan talare på olika färdighetsnivåer? Därtill undersöks om finskspråkiga lyssnare värderar uttalet på samma sätt som svenskspråkiga lyssnare. S2-talarnas prestationer i en monologuppgift värderas av finskspråkiga och svenskspråkiga lyssnare gällande hur bra talarna kan segment och prosodi i finlandssvenska. Forskning i finskspråkiga talares S2-uttal av finlandssvenska ger oss ett speciellt perspektiv på S2- uttalsinlärning. Eftersom språken liknar varandra fonetiskt b…

Conjunctions and syntactic complexity: Development of the use of conjunctions in written learner Finnish

2022

Kielitaidon kehittymistä voidaan tutkia mittaamalla oppijankielen sujuvuutta, tarkkuutta ja kompleksisuutta. Kompleksisuus voidaan määritellä oppijankielen monipuolisuudeksi ja kehittyneisyydeksi, mutta syntaktista kompleksisuutta on kansainvälisessä toisen kielen oppimisen tutkimuksessa tyypillisesti mitattu alisteisiin lauserakenteisiin perustuvilla kvantitatiivisilla mittareilla. Tässä artikkelissa syntaktisen kompleksisuuden kehitystä tutkitaan tarkastelemalla rinnastus- ja alistuskonjunktioiden käyttöä suomi toisena kielenä -teksteissä Eurooppalaisen viitekehyksen eri taitotasoilla. Aineistona käytetään Jyväskylän yliopiston Cefling-hankkeen oppijansuomen korpuksen tekstejä. Rinnasteis…

Second and foreign language fluency from a cognitive perspective : inefficiency and control of attention in lexical access

2017

The present dissertation focuses on the fluency of second and foreign language (L2). Second and foreign language use is often assessed by its fluency. However, the connections between language proficiency and fluency are far from clear. The fluency reasearch has tried to establish these connections, but results are varied. In the current thesis, this question is explored within the theoretical framework of Norman Segalowitz’s division of three types of fluency: cognitive, utterance, and perceived fluency. The overall proposition here is that in relation to L2 proficiency, cognitive fluency provides important insights. This is based on the theories of limited cognitive resources, which state…

Finnish comprehensive school pupils' language disposition : language shower as a means of diversifying language choices

2013

Kielten opiskelu on yksipuolistunut Suomessa viime vuosina. Englannilla on vahva asema lähes pakollisena ensimmäisenä kielenä, kun taas vapaaehtoisten kielten opiskelu on vähentynyt. Kehityksen suuntaa on koetettu kääntää erilaisilla projekteilla ja esimerkiksi kielisuihkuttamalla oppilaita. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten koululaiset suhtautuvat englannin, saksan, ranskan ja venäjän kieliin sekä voisiko kielisuihkutukseen osallistuminen antaa oppilaille parempia valmiuksia valita muitakin kieliä englannin lisäksi. Motivaatio on yksi tärkeimmistä kielivalintaan vaikuttavista tekijöistä, joten tutkimus hyödynsi motivaatiotutkimuksen perinteitä ja metodeja. Tutkimusote ol…

The roles of linguistic confidence and integrative motivation on cross-cultural adaptation of Asian degree students Finland

2015

While cross-cultural adaptation of international students has become more and more popular topics in the field of intercultural communication, there are few studies related to students who come to non-native-English-speaking countries to study international programs. Specifically, the number of Asian students enrolling in international degree programs in Finland has been increasing recently. Besides other difficulties, language has become one of the most baffling issues in the process of both sociocultural adaptation and psychological adaptation of strangers in the host country (Maza, 1963). By narrowing the impacts of integrative motivation and linguistic confidence, they have drawn some r…

A Review of Five Studies on Learner Beliefs About Second Language Learning and Teaching : Exploring the Possibilities of Narratives

2015

This article reviews five studies carried out within two projects in Finland on the subjective experiences of second language learning and teaching and the related beliefs held by university students of English or other foreign languages. The studies to be reviewed have been conducted using contextual approaches, and written or visual narratives. The aim is to explore how narratives have been used in doing research on learner beliefs by illustrating some of the units of analysis applied within different theoretical frameworks. In addition to summarizing the studies, the article will discuss the methodological lessons learnt and indicate directions for future research. peerReviewed

Utterance fluency in Finnish Sign Language L1 and L2 signing

2021

This paper explores the fluency of first language (L1) and second language (L2) signers of Finnish Sign Language. The phenomenon was approached by measuring utterance fluency using speed and breakdown parameters. The findings revealed clear differences between L1 and L2 signers regarding the measured fluency parameters. On average, L1 signers produced more signs and had fewer breakdowns per minute than L2 signers. However, the slowest L1 signer and the fastest L2 signer were more similar to each other than the averages of the L1 group’s (129.3) and the L2 group’s (71.4) signs per minute might suggest. The number of breakdowns per minute differed between the groups, with L2 signers breaking …
