Study abroad and career identity : three narratives of English language students' journeys to English-speaking countries
2010
Kulttuurienväliset opiskelijavaihto-ohjelmat ovat kasvattaneet merkittävästi suosiotaan kuluneiden vuosikymmenten aikana. Kuitenkin vasta viime vuosina on herätty tutkimaan millaisia kokonaisvaltaisia vaikutuksia kulttuurirajojen ylittämisellä sekä vieraaseen kieli- ja kulttuuriympäristöön sopeutumisella on vaihto-opiskelijoiden identiteetille. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tarkastella seuraavaa kysymystä: millaisia vaikutuksia kansainvälisellä opiskelijavaihdolla on opiskelijan ammatilliselle identiteetille. Tutkielman aineisto on kerätty temaattisella ryhmähaastattelulla. Siinä kolme opiskelijaa kertoo opiskelijavaihtonsa aikaisista kieli- ja kulttuurikokemuksista sekä pohtii identit…

The focus of the present study is to describe the connection between the Finnish students’ studies of applied linguistics in the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany, and their later working career. One specific field of competence that all of them have is the skill of German language and the knowledge of German culture. The career development has led some students to become entrepreneurs, some to become freelancers, and some to become salaried employees. The description is longitudinal.Becoming socially aware in a foreign culture is a notable feature in the respondents’ inner growth. This growing awareness is linked as a process to the various stages of their life cycles. By using…

A case study of a British ERASMUS student in Italy
2013
This article focuses on the shaping of social identities and emotions of one British young woman who spent a Year Abroad (YA) in Italy as an ERASMUS student. I have examined her negotiation and (re)construction of social identities during her experience abroad from a poststructuralist perspective, which sees individuals’ identities as dynamic and changeable sites of struggles (Norton Pierce, 1995 and 2000). In order to analyse the participant's accounts of her language learning and emotional experiences during her YA I have used the notion of emotional investment developed by Pavlenko (2012). This notion has helped me to understand how, why and to what extent the participant in the study ga…
Intra-regional mobility of PhD students in the European Union : the outcomes of region-making policy?
2022
This paper examines the flow of intra-European Union (EU) students for doctoral (PhD) studies to identify reasons for differences in international student mobility and migration (ISM) among member states. Rather than conceptualising intra-EU PhD student ISM only through push–pull forces, we theorise the intra-EU PhD ISM is associated with relative levels of national resources or levels of capital. We investigate the intra-EU PhD ISM through dyadic country pairings allowing the use of Gravity models to estimate the effect of variables associated with stocks of capital ascribed to a country to the change in the number of PhD students. The findings of this study indicate while there is asymmet…

International students' language use and attitudes towards English and Finnish
2014
Vaihto-opiskelu on kasvattanut suosiotaan sekä maailmanlaajuisesti että Suomessa erityisesti korkea-asteen opiskelijoiden keskuudessa. Suomi kohdemaana on hyvä esimerkki siitä, ettei nykyään pääsyy ulkomailla opiskeluun ole välttämättä kohdemaan kielen oppiminen, sillä maahan tullaan yleensä ilman paikallisten kielten osaamista ja opinnot suoritetaan englanniksi. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kuvata, miten kansainväliset vaihto- ja tutkinto-opiskelijat käyttävät englantia, suomea ja muita osaamiaan kieliä Suomessa oleskelunsa aikana. Tarkemmin ottaen pyrittiin selvittämään, missä konteksteissa, mitä varten, keiden kanssa, kuinka usein ja kuinka onnistuneesti kansainväliset opiskelijat …

New Voices from Intersecting Identities Among International Students Around the World
2022
In this article, we introduce our special issue, “International students’ lived experiences in the era unprecedented uncertainty and challenges: New voices from intersectional identities.” Our motivation and intention for this special issue, the focus, and the overall methodological approach are discussed. In addition to presenting the contributions of each article to this issue, we also discuss what we (all authors of this special issue) try to talk and how our voices are reflecting our unique experiences of coming to the new counties and leaving where we lived as international students by unfolding our stories and multiple identities that are intersecting while we experienced.
