Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- När det hösten 2002 beslutades att införa en helt nätburen kurs i engelska sågs tre aspekter som särskilt utmanande. Man misstänkte att det kunde vara svårt att ge goda förutsättningar för studenterna att utveckla sin analytiska förmåga, att träna upp den muntliga kommunikativa kompetensen och att känna grupptillhörighet. I detta paper diskuteras hur dessa tre utmaningar med relativt enkla medel kunnat mötas, liksom hur den nya pedagogik som utvecklats för de nätburna kurserna i sin tur också influerat den traditionella campusundervisningen.

Fiktion genom två medier : En studie om gymnasieelevers menings-skapande utifrån Hjalmar Söderbergs novell "Pälsen" och dess adaption till film
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med avhandlingen är att bidra med detaljerad kunskap om gymnasieelevers meningsskapande utifrån fiktion från olika medier, i detta fall skönlitteratur i form av en tryckt novell och en novellfilm som är en adaption av novellen. Fyra mediala förutsättningar iscensätts där skönlitteratur och film används, för att undersöka hur gymnasieungdomar skapar mening om skönlitteratur och film och vilka didaktiska konsekvenser detta får. I den första förutsättningen får eleverna skriva om Hjalmar Söderbergs novell ”Pälsen”, medan de i den andra förutsättningen får skriva om Björne Larsons filmadaption Pälsen (2008). I den tredje förutsättningen får eleverna skriva efter att ha sett filmen och sedan läst novellen, medan den omvända ordningen gäller i den fjärde förutsättningen. Studiens material består av 186 elevtexter, har samlats in år 2016 och 2018. Elevernas meningsskapande undersöks genom olika positioner de intar till verken. Eleverna kan inta en intrigposition där de befinner sig i den fiktiva världen; en analogiposition där de undersöker vilken överförd betydelse verken har; samt en objektsposition där eleverna yttrar sig om verket som ett objekt med en konstruktör. Utifrån dessa positioner framkommer att eleverna som läser novellen skriver ur alla dessa positioner, men jämfört med övriga grupper mest ur en analogiposition där olika budskap från novellen konstrueras. Eleverna som ser filmen skriver mest om intrigen, vilket bland annat uttrycks genom den närhet de upprättar till filmens karaktärer. Filmgruppen använder få begrepp som är mediespecifika, istället använder de litterära begrepp i sitt meningsskapande om filmen. Elever som tar del av både film och novell skriver ofta jämförelser av berättelsernas intriger, men det kan också leda till mediereflexiva och metakognitiva resonemang om filmen och novellen. I resultatkapitlen framkommer vidare att filmgruppens skrivande om intrigens viktiga händelser präglas av en större säkerhet än novellgruppen. Avslutningsvis undersöks elevernas inferenser om novellen och filmen, där filmgruppen i högre grad ägnar sig åt elaborerande inferenser där spekulativa resonemang om karaktärerna utvecklas. Resultaten visar hur meningsskapande varierar utifrån olika mediala förutsättningar och diskuteras utifrån det medielandskap och den medieekologi som råder, där olika slags uttryck och medier ständigt förekommer och omformas.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports on results from an ethnographic study of student interaction at a design school. The aim of the article is to explore the relation between communicative affordances, mode choices and coherence strategies in multiplex communicative ecologies. This is done through a focus on the choices made when initiating conversations in this setting. First the complete communicative ecologies of three international students in the design school are mapped, in order to demonstrate the options available, and focus is then turned to in-group interaction in particular. It is shown that the choices made can be related to the communicative affordances of the tools and the environments in relation to different considerations regarding attention. Whose attention do you want? When do you want attention and what kind of attention do you need? Can you get the attention of the other through the mode of your choice, and is now a good time to do so? In this discussion, also the physical location of the participants is taken into account. Furthermore, it is suggested how balanced awareness can be of relevance for coherent conversation initiation, and suggestions for design are presented.

Disrupted turn adjacency and coherence maintenance in instant messaging conversations

Ingår i: Language@Internet. - 1860-2029. ; 6:2

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports on a study of coherence in text-based log files from 120 two-party Instant Messaging (IM) conversations among a group of international students at a design school. The goals of the study were to investigate whether disrupted turn adjacency was an obstacle to coherence and to identify the linguistic strategies employed to maintain coherence. Additional signs of problematic coherence creation were also investigated, focusing on explicit signs of miscommunication. In this particular context, disrupted turn adjacency was not found to be a problem. Whereas devices for textual cohesion can be important, links between utterances can also be identified based on timing and distinctions between different types of feedback, as well as sequencing. The additional signs of miscommunication were all related to different aspects of problematic grounding. The article concludes with suggestions for design improvements to the IM tool.

Making sense digitally : Conversational coherence in online and mixed-mode contexts
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Successful interaction makes sense to its participants – it is, in other words, coherent. As different resources are employed to indicate mutual orientation by showing which actions are linked and where attention is paid, coherent conversation can be said to be achieved multimodally. This thesis builds on an interactional and ecological theoretical basis, and investigates how strategies for sense-making vary depending on the context of interaction. Specifically, this is a study of interaction in different types of multimodal and multiplex communication situations. The characteristics of these technology-rich communication situations are mapped and, primarily through ethnographic methods and interaction analysis, it is investigated how conversational coherence is maintained. Furthermore, it is suggested how the findings can be applied to inform interaction design. The analysis presented is based on results from four case studies, dealing with different aspects of coherence creation in different English speaking contexts. Study 1 investigates coherence in intertwined threads in dyad instant messaging (IM) interaction, and Study 2 focuses on coherence through conversational feedback strategies in interaction in a multimodal desktop video conferencing system. Study 3 has a somewhat broader focus, as the multiple communication channels in which one participant is involved are all taken into consideration in the investigation of sequential coherence. Finally, in Study 4, the physical and digital interaction in a partly shared studio space is investigated, with an emphasis on how mutual orientation is established during conversation initiation. The findings show that when addressing coherence it is important to acknowledge both dynamic aspects of context, such as activity and participants, and more static aspects, such as communicative affordances of environments and tools. In online and mixed-mode interaction, the notion of context becomes particularly complex, as participants are simultaneously part of both the individual context, which may include digital tools for communication, and the shared context of interaction (polycontextuality). In this thesis, it is further shown that this has consequences for coherent conversation initiation and possibilities to engage in multiple semi-simultaneous conversations (polyfocality). Additionally, the results emphasize the importance of explicit linguistic strategies in computer-mediated interaction.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes the influence of tool and task design on student interaction in language learning at a distance. Interaction in a multimodal desktop video conferencing environment, FlashMeeting, is analyzed from an ecological perspective with two main foci: participation rates and conversational feedback strategies. The quantitative analysis of participation rates shows that as far as verbal interaction is concerned, multimodality did not have an equalizing effect in this context, contradicting previous research on multimodal student interaction. Additionally, the qualitative analysis of conversational feedback strategies shows that whereas some multimodal strategies were employed, the students did not manage to fully act upon the communicative affordances of the tool, as the feedback ratio during and after the often long broadcasts was relatively low. These findings are related to task and tool design and the article discusses how design improvements in these areas might result in a more constructive language learning ecology.

Multiplex conversations afforded by technology

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents results from a small-scale pilot study investigating linguistic production and structural patterns while multitasking and interrelating these findings with communicative context (Field, Tenor and Mode). The explorative microanalysis shows that whereas the language used by the informant seems to be influenced by all three contextual variables, Field, Tenor and Mode, the navigation between channels in this specific multiplex communication situation strongly correlates to the affordances of the Mode of conversation and more specifically to the ways in which the informant receives indications that her reply is requested. The article includes design considerations and a discussion concerning methodology and ethics. This study and the findings presented here are considered a first building block in constructing a theory for explaining communicative choices when multitasking.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the current article is to discuss opportunities and challenges with employing text-based interaction in the language classroom. These issues are addressed in relation to empirical data from a Swedish upper secoondary school, where students of English interact with a teacher (the researcher) in instant messaging. In order to gain a detailed picture of the interactional processes, data from chat logs are complemented with screen recordings, keystroke logging data and data from eye tracking. It should be noted that the current article cannot give a comprehensive account of all relevant phenomena and previous research, but rather some identified pattems will be highlighted and discussed.
