The BioS4You European project: An innovative way to effectively engage Z-generation students in STEM disciplines

2021

In this contribution, we present the BioS4You project and analyse the results obtained in the first 18 months of its activity. The “Bio-Inspired STEM topics for engaging young generations” (BioS4You) Erasmus+ KA2 Innovation project aims to bridge the gap between STEM national curricula (which include Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and the needs of Z-generation students, uninterested to basic themes, but enthusiastic in issues related to environmental, social, and health concerns. The BioS4You project engages young learners in STEM subjects, starting with current issues of interest for them, as the social and environmental impact of new technologies, connecting STEM conce…

Can Do and Cannot Do – CEFR inspired examination and assessment in a Swedish higher education context

2018

The focus in this paper is on the introduction and implementation of learning outcomes based on the descriptors in the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR). It discusses reaction to the introduction by teacher educators as well as the influence on teacher assessment practice in courses for prospective teachers of English as a foreign language. The paper presents some of the results from a case study concerning changes made in connection with the Bologna process in a department of education within a university college in Sweden. The results show that the adoption of the CEFR descriptors was contested and had a minimal influence on assessment practice. The aim of the p…

2015

Diplomdarba mērķis ir izpētīt kā tiešsaistes uzdevumi ietekmē angļu valodas vārdu krājuma apguvi sākumskolā. Diplomdarba autore uzskata, ka vārdu krājuma apguve ir viens no nozīmīgākajiem valodas aspektiem, kam ir liela nozīme sākumskolas skolēnu mācīšanā. Diplomdarba mērķa sasniegšanai darba autore izvēlējas atsevišķa gadījuma pētījuma metodi. Metodes, kas tika izmantotas datu vākšanā, ir anketēšana, priekšpārbaude un pēcpārbaude. Lai pārbaudītu kā tiešsaistes uzdevumi ietekmē skolēnu vārdu krājuma bagātināšanos, kopumā tika novadītas četras mācību stundas. Pētījuma rezultātā ir konstatēts, ka vairākums skolēnu ar tiešsaistes uzdevumiem uzlaboja savu vārdu krājumu. Darba autore secināja, k…

Korpusa datu izmantošana mūsdienu mācību vārdnīcās angļu valodā

2018

Mūsdienu leksikogrāfijā liela nozīme tiek piešķirta dažādiem korpusa izmantošanas paņēmieniem. Korpuss atklāj raksturīgākās valodas iezīmes un sniedz informāciju par noteiktu vārdu un frāžu leksiskajām pazīmēm. Bakalaura darbā pētīta korpusa datu izmantošana Longman, Oxford un Macmillan mācību vārdnīcās angļu valodā. Salīdzinošā analīze tika pielietota, lai salīdzinātu korpusa datu izmantošanu izvēlētajās vārdnīcās. Pētījuma rezultāti norādīja, ka korpusa datu izmantošana izvēlētajās vārdnīcās atšķiras diezgan pamanāmi, papildus tam rezultāti pierādīja, ka korpuss ir neaizstājama mūsdienu leksikogrāfijas sastāvdaļa. Tā kā pētījumam tika izvēlētas tikai trīs mācību vārdnīcas, ir ieteicams ve…

Perception et traque de “l'accent etranger” : la production des voyelles orales en fle par des polonophones

2017

Our research fits in the overall framework of French as a Foreign Language oral teaching methods and focuses will deal with the phenomenon of “foreign accent”, those marks that reveal in transparency the presence of the phonological sieve of the mother tongue, and we will focus on the pronunciation of oral vowels in French by Polish-speaking learners. A preliminary study, descriptive and contrastive, of the phonological systems of Polish and French will allow us to make assumptions about perceptible interferences in the pronunciation of spoken French which might be at the origin of noise in the psycholinguistic decoding. Acoustic analyses of speech corpuses, based on the previous hypotheses…

All-Polish Andragogical Journals in the Interwar Period (1918–1939)

2020

In the article, the author attempts to show the role of andragogical journals in popularizing adult education in the Interwar period. Six Polish journals of nationwide circulation are characterized, as they reflected the socio-ideological profile of the state and the organizations which published them. In their columns, theoretical and methodological studies which facilitated work with adults were presented. Their major task was to support teachers and educators in their school and outside-school work with adult learners. The basis for preparing the present text was an analysis of the content of the periodicals. W tekście podjęto próbę ukazania roli czasopism andragogicznych w upowszechnian…

[tyʁlyty’ty/ləʃapopwɛ̃’ty] (Turlututu, le chapeau pointu) ou de la perception à la production de la voyelle /y/ par des apprenants polonophones

2019

Our basic assumption is that all voices are born from listening. We will focus on the pronouncing difficulties of the vowel /y/ by Polish learners of level A1/A2: a preliminary descriptive and comparative study, corroborated by an acoustic study, determined that the phoneme /y/ is often pronounced: 1) too posterior and/or too loose (thus tending towards the /u/); 2) too anterior (tending towards the /i/). However, the vowels /i/ and /u/ exist in Polish and are the closest corresponding sounds to the vowel /y/, absent in the Polish vocal system. This acoustic study is based on three phases of data recording/analysis: I) diagnostic phase—to detect the tendency of each speaker on the axis of a…

Learning Slovak in an E-Learning Environment: A case study

2014

Providing a motivating learning environment for learning a less commonly taught language is a challenge. Developing technology, societal changes, virtual mobility and networking create new demands for teachers and students of these languages. Growing needs for international mobility call for the adoption of new pedagogical approaches. It is the urgency of using more up-to-date, pedagogically acceptable computer-assisted teaching programs that led to the development of the e-learning course of Slovak reported upon in this article. The course is based on a socio-constructivist approach and its main aim is to promote the development of learners’ communicative and cultural competence. This empi…

Adult EFL learners : views of exercises in coursebook

2013

Oppikirjoilla on keskeinen rooli vieraiden kielten opetuksessa ja oppimisessa. Aiemmin englannin oppikirjoja ovat arvioineet lähinnä tutkijat. Joissakin tutkimuksissa on myös tuotu esille opettajien ja oppilaiden mielipiteitä englannin oppikirjoista. Harvat tutkimukset ovat kuitenkaan keskittyneet oppikirjojen arviointiin aikuisopiskelijoiden näkökulmasta tai pelkästään arvioimaan oppikirjojen tehtäviä. Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää englannin aikuisopiskelijoiden mielipiteitä heidän oppikirjansa English for you, too! 3 tehtävistä. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli saada selville millaisista tehtävätyypeistä aikuisopiskelijat pitävät eniten. Kyselytutkimukseen osallistui kolm…
