Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Intercultural group work (IGW), where students from different nationalities work together, is one important way to develop intercultural competence, a key skill for engineering students. This longitudinal, qualitative study of five master's engineering students follows their individual experiences in IGW and the affordances and challenges this way of working provides. In particular, the study problematises the use of the terms 'home' and 'international', often used to differentiate student experiences in IGW, by highlighting the range of student backgrounds and experiences which can be encompassed within them. The results show that the students' self-positioning in their group and their sense of belonging to it are affected by a range of factors including previous experience, the nature of the group work and personal aspects such as openness and adaptability. In addition, belonging to the group can be a transient process influenced in part by critical incidents during the group work process.

Constructing and Construing Written Argumentative and Expository Assignments in L1 and EFL
- 2014
-
Ingår i: AILA World Congress 10-15 August 2014 Brisbane Australia.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper presents part of a longitudinal research project investigating 200 Swedish upper secondary students' written academic language in Swedish and English during a period of three years. Eight different writing assignments, designed to correspond with the national curricula for social and natural science, are analysed as choices of genres and text outlines in 1600 student essays.

Exploring writing through teachers’ construing and narratives

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper draws on a research project which was undertaken in order to explore and interpret language teachers’ construing of assessment, in particular formative classroom assessment. The research connects the theory of personal construct psychology (PCP) with the theory of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and it highlights the personal nature of teachers’ pedagogical constructions and construing. Underlying assumptions are that teachers construe knowledge in cooperation with others and need to be able to map and understand their pupils’ learning and development. In addition, experiences and personal theories will affect attitudes and the way they anticipate new approaches in teaching and assessing. This implies that teacher pedagogical constructions develop through experience, are influenced by the interaction of different knowledge and beliefs, and comprise of both generalized event-based and story-based memories/narratives. Data consist of repertory grid interviews with 20 Swedish language teachers strategically drawn from a sample of 605 nationally representative teachers. The focus of this paper is on data from the teachers’ construing and narratives of in particular assessment of student writing.
