Sources of stress and scholarly identity: the case of international doctoral students of education in Finland
2020
AbstractAlthough stressors and coping strategies have been examined in managing stress associated with doctoral education, stress continues to have a permeating and pernicious effect on doctoral students’ experience of their training and, by extension, their future participation in the academic community. International doctoral students have to not only effectively cope with tensions during their training and their socialization in their discipline but also address the values and expectations of higher education institutions in a foreign country. Considering the increase of international doctoral students in Finland, this study focuses on perceived sources of stress in their doctoral traini…

2022
To educate multilingual global citizens and follow the multilingual turn in language education, universities are faced with the challenge of developing their language pedagogies. This article reports on a study conducted in the context of university language studies that take a multilingual perspective to learning languages for academic and professional purposes. Although multilingual pedagogies have been widely developed in what could be traditionally considered as bilingual education, practical implementations are rarer when considering students that generally have one home language but study multiple foreign languages. To assess the effects of multilingual teaching in this kind of contex…

Loneliness and interaction ritual theory: failed interaction chains among Finnish university students
2021
This article relates loneliness to interaction ritual theory, understanding loneliness in terms of problematic microinteractional dynamics. The advantage of interaction ritual theory is that it extends our understanding of the issue of the psychologised self and related questions such as how loneliness feels or is experienced. Loneliness is here defined as a response to interaction representing relational understanding of emotions. Interaction ritual theory is interested in the emotional consequences that individuals experience from successful or unsuccessful interaction rituals. Loneliness in this view represents a state in which the individual is denied access to rewarding aspects of inte…

The effects of the English language on the cultural identity of Chinese university students
2011
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää kuinka englannin kieli on vaikuttanut kiinalaisten yliopistotason englannin pääaineopiskelijoiden kulttuuri-identiteettiin. Englannin kieltä Kiinassa on tutkittu paljon, mutta ei juurikaan kulttuurin ja kulttuuri-identiteetin kannalta. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii vastaamaan seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) Onko englannin kielen lisääntynyt vaikutus Kiinassa vaikuttanut kiinalaiseen kulttuuriin ja ihmisiin? Jos on, koetaanko muutokset positiivisina vai negatiivisina, ja vaikuttavatko ne jotenkin kiinalaisten kulttuuri-identiteettiin? 2) Ovatko yliopisto-opiskelijoiden omat asenteet kiinalaista kulttuuria kohtaan muuttuneet englannin kielen ja läntisen kulttuurin vaik…
