2012
När barnet blir expert: Förklaringar av ord och procedurer i det digitala spelet Growtopia
2019
The ability to explain word meanings is central to a child’s language development and socialisation into different domains of language use. In previous research explanations have been shown to be linked to cognitive and linguistic development as well as academic language and discursive skills. This paper analyses what kinds of linguistic and discursive competences are put to use in explanation activities in interactions between an 8-year-old bilingual child (Albin) and his mother around a digital game. The data comes from a larger data set of video-recordings and field observation of children’s interactions around games. The analysis focuses on explanation sequences in which the child expli…
Socializācijas teorijas pieeja pieauguša japāņu kā otrās valodas apguvēja gadījuma izpētei
2018
Šis darbs savieno teorētiskās pieejas valodu apguvē, par piemēru izmantojot pieaugušu valodas apguvēju Japānā, lai analizētu to, kā sociālā mijiedarbība ietekmē valodas apguves procesu. Šajā darbā tiek apspriestas trīs valodas apguves teorijas, kurās tiek likts uzsvars uz sociālo aspektu valodas apguvē. Vigotska sociokultūras teorija apskata valodas apguvi caur sarunām, kā arī sadarbojoties ar zinošākiem vienaudžiem.

Interpreting and managing a monolingual norm in an English-speaking class in Finland: When first and second graders contest the norm
2011
This study explores the stances that multilingual learners adopt in the face of a monolingual, “English-only” norm in a primary English medium class in Finland. I examine classroom interaction focusing on three students and the ways in which they reinterpret, reformulate, and contest this norm. This research is informed by the perspective of language socialization and draws on methods of microethnographic discourse analysis. I find that the three focal students come into opposition when they interpret and manage the institutional monolingual norm differently, indexing issues of mother tongue expertise and group membership. Aleksi employs a variety of discursive practices in resisting the En…
