Teacher-child interaction quality and children's self-regulation in toddler classrooms in Finland and Portugal

2021

This study examines the association between teacher–child interaction quality and children's self‐regulation in Finnish and Portuguese toddler classrooms. The participants included 230 Finnish (M = 29; SD = 3 months) and 283 Portuguese (M = 30, SD = 4 months) toddlers and their teachers (n = 43 Finland; n = 29 Portugal). The children's behavioural self‐regulation (attention, working memory, and inhibition control) was individually tested, and the teachers evaluated the children's self‐regulation skills in the classroom. The quality of the teacher–child interactions (i.e., emotional and behavioural support and engaged support for learning) was evaluated using the CLASS‐Toddler observation in…

Koulun kahlitsemat - arjen selviytyjät : näkökulmia kielen oppimiseen

2003

This article discusses written narratives about foreign language learning. The stories were collected in a contest organised by KVS Foundation (Kansanvalistusseura), a Finnish organisation for adult education. Over 500 texts were sent for the contest, representing writers of both sexes, various language backgrounds and many professions. The age of writers varied from 8 to 80. In this article we discuss the nature of the data and the creation of a data base. Some preliminary observations are reported and a case study discussed. The relation between the academic and everyday views of language learning is also dealt with. peerReviewed

Oppijankieliaineistojen annotointi – esimerkkinä ICLFI:n annotoinnin prosessit, ongelmat ja ratkaisut

2014

This article illustrates the grammatical and error annotation of learner language with the help of the International Corpus of Learner Finnish (ICLFI). In particular, we will focus on issues arising from handling with at least semi-automatic methods a morphologically rich language. What makes this corpus special compared to, for example, English-language material, is the frequent variation in di" erent forms and related errors, both due to the rich morphology of the target language. This article begins with a description of the design and implementation process of both the grammatical and error annotation, followed by a brief introduction to the material for which the annotations were desig…

An ethnographic study of language socialization and choice in a first and second grade English medium classroom in Finland

2013

In this ethnographic study of language socialization I investigate how a monolingual language norm is instituted, maintained, monitored, resisted, and subverted by participants in a first and second grade English medium class in Finland. In this setting language choice and use are an integral part of membership in this class. This study foregrounds the social implications of managing a monolingual norm by examining student agency, resistance, the achievement of voice, the uptake of a teacher-like discourse, and the practice of repair. The end result is a detailed exploration of peer-talk among students engaged in a variety of activities, highlighting the diverse trajectories of individuals,…

Oppimaan oppimisen taidot saavat pohjan peruskoulussa ja opettajien tulisikin tukea oppilaitaan kasvussa tehokkaiksi autonomisiksi oppijoiksi. Kaikkien aineiden opettajat voivat työssään tukea oppilaidensa oppimistaitoja. Yksi tapa tukea oppimista on musiikin käyttö. Tässä tutkielmassa keskitytään englannin kieleen, ja siihen, miten musiikkia voi käyttää opetuksessa.

Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli ensinnäkin selvittää miten alakoulun kuudesluokkalaiset koke…
