Modalność epistemiczna w ustnych wypowiedziach maturzystów

2016

In this article the author analyses components of the epistemic modality, by means of which a student assesses the accuracy of views presented during the oral matriculation examination in the Polish language. Considering the specificity of spoken utterances during the oral matriculation examination, the epistemic modality can be defined as all kinds of information on an intellectual attitude of the speaker who, on the basis of his/her own knowledge and thinking processes which are taking place in his/her mind al a given moment, makes a “gradable” assessment of a view’s reliability. The analysed texts differ depending on the level of certainty of their authors as far as the communicated cont…

“Can do!” Teacher Promotion of Optimism in Response to Student Failure Expectation Expressions in Classroom Discourse

2019

This study offers detailed observational analyses of how teachers use optimism as an instructional resource when responding to students’ failure expectation displays in classroom situations. The results were based on video-recordings of 25 lessons in two Finnish part-time special education settings, analysed by means of applied conversation analysis. The results showed that the teachers boosted optimism by inverting students’ negative utterances, giving examples of successful experiences of peers, offering praise for students’ earlier performance or focusing on problems through instructional support. The study underlines the importance of addressing and elaborating students’ negative learni…

The valuable textbooks : a study on relationship values and attitudes in an EFL-textbook series

2010

Yksi yleissivistävän koulun tavoitteista on opettaa oppijoille arvoja ja asenteita. Nämä arvot ja asenteet näkyvät muun muassa opetussuunnitelmassa ja sitä myöten myös opetuskäytänteissä ja oppikirjoissa. Oppikirjatekstien välittämät arvot ja asenteet eivät ole kuitenkaan peräisin yksinomaan opetussuunnitelmassa lausutuista tavoitteista, vaan myös oppikirjantekijöiden maailmankuvat vaikuttavat niihin – joko tietoisesti tai tiedostamatta – teksteihin valittujen näkökulmien ja kielenkäytön kautta. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin millä tavoin lukion englannin oppikirjatekstit käsittelevät ja kuvaavat eri parisuhdemuotoja ja mitkä parisuhdearvot ja -asenteet vaikuttavat tekstien taustalla. Tut…

'Chlorophyll ideology' and Protected Areas.The Social Discourses on the Reserve Area 'Tancat de la Pipa' in the Albufera Natural Park (Spain)

2020

Since the end of the last century, the empirical evidence that the natural limits to growth were being overstepped (García, 2004) supposed an increase in environmental awareness and led to a search for answers of different kinds. Most of these answers are part of the neoliberal politics that reconcile economic development with environmental sustainability. One of these solutions is the creation of protected areas. In this paper we analyse, firstly, the growth of protected areas in Europe and how we should perceive that growth. Then, we pay special attention to the theoretical implications of the concept of a “Natural Park”, one of the most common kinds of protected area in Spain. Subsequent…
