Written essay feedback given by a teacher and as experienced by students
2016
Kirjallinen tuottaminen on olennainen osa kielten kouluopetusta Suomessa. Perinteisesti kirjalliset tuotokset arvioidaan ja opettaja antaa niistä palautetta. Tämä kandidaatin tutkielma selvittää yhden lukioryhmän osalta, millaista palautetta opettaja antoi heidän kirjoittamistaan esseistä ja kuinka oppilaat kokivat tämän palautteen. Tutkielmassa on käytetty sekä laadullisia että määrällisiä tutkimusotteita. Ensin oppilaat kirjoittivat lukiokurssillaan esseet, jotka opettaja arvosteli ja antoi niistä kommentteja. Sitten nämä esseet kommentteineen kerättiin ja palautteelle tehtiin sisällönanalyysi teorialähtöisesti Hattien ja Timperleyn mallin (2007) mukaan. Palaute oli pääosin varsin positii…

Styl osobniczy uczonego a uniwersalność kategorii stylu
2016
Artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie zagadnień związanych z różnym pojmowaniem koncepcji stylu na Wschodzie i na Zachodzie. W ujęciu lingwistycznym zestawione zostaną określenia dotyczące stylu występujące w stylu osobniczym badacza stylu w języku polskim i definicje stylu zawarte w znaczeniu ideogramów języka chińskiego mandaryńskiego w wersji tradycyjnej. Konkretne realizacje, spotykane w tekstach specjalistycznych, zestawione zostaną z semantyką odległego geograficznie i strukturalnie języka, by ułatwić odpowiedź na pytanie o indywidualistyczny i uniwersalistyczny - uzależniony bądź nie od kulturowych czynników - charakter myślenia ludzkiego, ujawniający się w odniesieniu do koncepcji stylu.

К вопросу о жанрово-стилистической дифференциации и вариативности религиозного языка
2022
In modern Slavic linguistics, along with the terms "religious discourse", "religious style", the term "religious language" functions, the appearance of which became possible thanks to the works of the Polish linguist Z. Klemensevich. At the initial stages, the study of the religious language was, as a rule, reduced to the analysis and description of vocabulary. Currently, scientists are interested in other problems related to this phenomenon, including genres, styles and variants of religious language.
Effects of contextual variables on strategic investment decision-making styles: An empirical study from Pakistan.
2022
There is a gap in the literature of strategic investment decision making (SIDM) concerning the links between context variables, infrastructure and SIDM practices (or SIDM styles) in developing countries. This research aims to fill that gap. Survey data (N = 128) from the manufacturing companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange was collected via an e-mailed questionnaire and visits to the companies. Data are analyzed with factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results reveal what we call four different SIDM styles (or emphases): managerial power-, financial analysis-, top management-, and strategy-based investing. These styles are considered to be novel perspectives on SI…
Inter-annotator agreement in spoken language annotation: Applying uα-family coefficients to discourse segmentation
2021
As databases make Corpus Linguistics a common tool for most linguists, corpus annotation becomes an increasingly important process. Corpus users do not need only raw data, but also annotated data, submitted to tagging or parsing processes through annotation protocols. One problem with corpus annotation lies in its reliability, that is, in the probability that its results can be replicable by independent researchers. Inter-annotation agreement (IAA) is the process which evaluates the probability that, applying the same protocol, different annotators reach similar results. To measure agreement, different statistical metrics are used. This study applies IAA for the first time to the Valencia E…
"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 particular, it addresses professional identity in relation to two immediate contexts of teacher activity, i.e. that of the classroom and that of the collegial community. 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…
Where do these rails go? : drama in education in practising fluency for upper secondary school English students
2012
Draamakasvatuksessa oppiminen tapahtuu prosessina kokemusten ja toiminnan kautta. Sen vahvuus kielten opetuksen oppikirjoissa on yleensä tehtävinä, jotka tarjoavat valmiiksi kirjoitettuja vuoropuheluita. Kielen oppimisen kannalta sujuvan, normaalin kielenkäytön opetus on tärkeää ja draama antaa sille mahdollisuuden. Oppilaat tarvitsevat kaiken muun ohella mahdollisuuksia käyttää vierasta kieltä uusissa tilanteissa ja tehdä se tavalla, jolla he pystyvät itse luomaan kommunikointinsa ilman tarkkoja repliikkejä. Tämä oppimateriaali perustuu draamakasvatuksen hyötyihin, jotka on mahdollista sisällyttää kielten opetukseen ja joita muut metodit eivät tarjoa. Oppimateriaali pyrkii tuomaan kielen t…
