Motivare (al)la grammatica: valenza e didattica
2020
La disaffezione dei nostri studenti per la grammatica è fatto noto ai più. Al contempo, negli insegnanti è alta la consapevolezza dell'utilità che lo studio della logica che a essa soggiace potrebbe avere per lo studente. I benefici si estenderebbero ben oltre il periodo di studi. Questa distanza, tra ciò che gli studenti prediligono e ciò che a loro effettivamente servirebbe, richiede la ricerca di strumenti atti a invertire la rotta. Il presente contributo ne propone alcuni riguardanti l'insegnamento della sintassi e delle interfacce con morfologia e semantica. Tratto comune a ognuno degli strumenti suggeriti è un metodo concepito per destare la curiosità del discente e stimolare il suo d…

Reflections on Human Resources – Vital Intangible Assets of Organizations
2014
Abstract Starting from the reality that human resources represent the most important strategic resource of the modern organization and that each human being is a unique entity, with own personality, needs and offer, the investment in human resources should become the most important investments of organizations, despite being the most risky investments. The only alternative to avoid this risk and to bring together employee and employer on the same level is career management. From a different perspective, human resources represent the intellectual capital of organizations, the only ones that can assimilate and, from the perspective of the new economy, make the most of knowledge. All these asp…

Can the Internet serve as a useful tool in learning English? : a case study
2012
Internetin ja uuden median käyttö on viime vuosina kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti erityisesti nuorten keskuudessa, ja sen myötä myös englanninkielistä materiaalia on tarjolla koko ajan entistä enemmän. Tämän ”Internet-englannin” suhdetta englannin kielen oppimiseen on tutkittu kuitenkin verraten vähän. Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus oli tarkastella tapaustutkimuksena sitä kuinka suomalaiset nuoret kokivat oppineensa englannin kieltä Internetin maailmassa, informaalissa, koulun ulkopuolisessa kontekstissa ja kuinka motivoivana he sen kokivat. Osallistujista tehtiin myös vertailevaa tutkimusta. Osallistujina toimivat kaksi lukioikäistä tyttöä eri paikkakunnilta, joiden taustatekijät poikkesivat toisis…
Extramural activities and motivation in adult English learners
2017
Luokkahuoneen ulkopuolella tapahtuvasta informaalista oppimisesta on tullut yhä suositumpaa ja yleisempää myös kielten opiskelussa. Uuden kielen ja kulttuurin oppimisessa erilaiset vapaa-ajan aktiviteetit tarjoavat monipuoliset puitteet oppimiselle. Tv, elokuvat, musiikki, kirjat, pelit ja Internet tarjoavat valtavat resurssit, joita hyödyntääkseen opiskelijan täytyy olla oma-aloitteinen ja motivoitunut. Lisäksi väestön vanhetessa ikääntyneitä kielenopiskelijoita on yhä enemmän. Tämä tutkimus käsittelee näiden vapaa-ajalla tapahtuvien englanninkielisten oppimisaktiviteettien ja motivaation välistä suhdetta englannin aikuisopiskelijoilla. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, olivatko ne …
