Dyslexi på två språk : En multipel fallstudie av spansk-svensktalande ungdomar med läs- och skrivsvårigheter
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The complicated task of deciding whether reading and writing difficulties in a second language learner stem from dyslexia or from problems associated with second language learning serves as the primary theme of this study. The theoretical framwork of dyslexia-related issues is a phonological cause model (Ramus, 2004). Generally, the study is based on psycholinguistically oriented research of reading in a second language (eg. Kulbrandstad, 1998) and dyslexia in second language learners (Frederickson & Frith, 1998; Geva, 2000; Miller Guron & Lundberg, 2003). The overall aim of the study is to contribute to our knowledge of how reading and writing difficulties in bilingual adolescents could be expressed, characterised and delimited, in order to enhance our understanding of how various prerequisites effect literacy development and to facilitate identification and handling of dyslexia in bilinguals. The study is based on data from ten Spanish-Swedish speaking adolescents with reading and writing difficulties. The multiple case study perspective has made it possible to investigate a number of linguistic and cognitive parameters in both languages. Furthermore, comparisons were made with a bilingual group of ten Spanish-Swedish speaking adocelscents without reading and writing difficulties as well as with a group of ten monolingual Spanish and Swedish speaking adolescents with dyslexia. Dyslexia has been defined and delimited in a bilingual dyslexia profiles continuum. This continuum is one of the significant theoretical-methodological contributions of the thesis. Another important contribution is the research design, that is, the use of a bilingual matched comparison group (without reading and writing difficulties) as the norm. Furthermore, quantitative and qualitative analyses have been summarised as various profiles, such as reading profiles, writing profiles and oral discourse profiles. The results are discussed on both group and individual levels and show that language dominance ha a major impact on the manifestations of the reading and writing difficulties. The differences between the two orthographies are also of importance. Furthermore, advantageous results in both languages co-vary with extensive L1 education in the bilingual participants both with and without dyslexia.

Epistemic Reciprocity Through a Decolonial Crip Literacy in Accommodated Language Education for Adults
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Applied Linguistics. - 0142-6001 .- 1477-450X.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This linguistic ethnography was conducted in accommodated language education in Sweden, aimed at adult learners with deafness, hearing impairment, post-traumatic stress disorder, migration stress, or intellectual disability, here, focusing on the latter group, who attended Swedish language learning courses. We empirically investigate a decolonial crip literacy, by connecting language education to epistemic reciprocity. The decolonial lens is understood with regard to the marginalized and dis-abled body, under-represented in Applied Linguistics. More specifically, we focus on teacher positionality and ethical stance-taking among three of the teachers, to contribute an in-depth and situated account of a decolonial crip literacy, as counteracts of ableism and linguicism, and an orientation toward epistemic justice. Based on our linguistic ethnographic data, we suggest that the decolonial crip literacy project engages with disability-as-difference, positioning the dis-abled body as knower, via epistemic reciprocity, which is communicated through a multiplicity of communicative resources, materialities, and creativity. The paper contributes both to the theorizing of injustice in language education and to alternatives in pedagogical practice.

Co-assessment among language teachers : A master–apprentice relationship
- 2022

Ingår i: Apples - Journal of Applied Language Studies. - : Apples - Journal of Applied Language Studies. - 1457-9863. ; 16:1, s. 133-153

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports on a case study of online co-assessment practices among teachers of minoritized languages in the so-called Mother Tongue (MT) subject in Sweden. These co-assessments, involving both qualified and unqualified teachers, have not previously been investigated, despite the strong emphasis on co-assessment practices in the Swedish school. The data was collected both for a master’s thesis project (see unpublished thesis, Caliolo, 2021) and for the sake of this paper. On the basis of interactional analyses of three co-assessments and four teacher interviews, our aim was to contribute new knowledge on co-assessment within this institutional frame regarding how the two teacher roles in a master-apprentice relationship were produced through interaction. The scripted frame included a collaborative act of matching assessment criteria to student performance, through the authorized teacher’s controlling moves (Linell, 1990, p. 161). The authorized teachers used their roles as experts to ask clarifying questions and to orient the dialogue toward the stated standards (cf. directive moves, Linell, 1990), but also to provide space for teacher reflections through an interactional balancing act. A challenge was identified in terms of better integrating teacher experience and of providing better opportunities to co-assess with teachers who teach the same language, which allows for a closer focus on aspects of teaching. The study points to a need for further critical inquiry into these assessment practices, which undergird increasing equal educational opportunities for multilingual students, and how interpretations of current standards are linked to student performance in similar language learning contexts.

Sambedömning i modersmålsämnet : Modul 7
- 2024
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- I denna text diskuterar vi sambedömning i modersmålsämnet och ger konkreta förslag på hur modersmålslärare kan arbeta med och utveckla en sambedömningspraktik. Vi presenterar också tidigare forskning om sambedömning utifrån två teoretiska utgångspunkter: Den första utgångspunkten är en social syn på lärande baserad på forskarna Jean Lave och Etienne Wengers studier av lärande i en praktikgemenskap. Dessa forskare intresserade sig för hur medarbetare lär av varandra, till exempel genom att mindre erfarna lär av de som har större kunskap inom ett visst område. Den andra teoretiska utgångspunkten handlar om vad som karaktäriserar och främjar en professionell dialog i sambedömning. I den professionella dialogen har deltagarna vanligen olika roller, där någon kan ha mer inflytande än andra, vilket ofta gäller sambedömning i modersmålsämnet.

Exploring language education : Global and local perspectives
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The overarching aim of this book is to offer researchers and students insight into some currently discussed issues at the Swedish as well as the international research frontline of Language Education in a selection of up-to-date work. Another aim is to provide teachers, teacher educators and policy-makers with input from research within the interconnected disciplines of Applied Linguistics, Language Education and Second Language Acquisition. The volume includes five examples of topical research on language education and the authors are internationally renowned scholars. The chapters are based on a selection of talks presented at the 1st ELE Conference (‘Exploring Language Education’), which was held at Stockholm University in 2018. Employing a broad thematic scope, the volume reflects the variety of perspectives on language education brought together at the conference by authors working in diverse areas of the field and in different parts of the world. With the first ELE conference the organizers wished to call attention to the intersection of the global and the local, in terms of linguistic and cultural diversity, which may inform both research questions and language education practices. Issues related to multilingualism, Global Englishes, and experienced tensions between research and practice are examples of generally shared issues that were brought up by many speakers. The chapters of the book represent this variety of themes and illustrate how different regions and communities are contingent on local prerequisites and circumstances, leading to a number of particular challenges and assets when it comes to language education. The chapters represent different parts of the broad array of research directions that can be discerned under the large umbrella of Language Education, zooming in on the Western context, specifically Sweden, Canada and the United States. Two of the plenary speakers from the conference, Nina Spada and John Levis contribute in the volume. In Spada’s text different ways to bridge the gap between research and practice in language education are discussed, an issue highly relevant to all of those interested in collaborative research between researchers and teachers. The second chapter, written by Levis, presents current research on phonology and the importance of pronunciation in second or foreign language communication. These two are followed by three chapters reporting on empirical studies. Amanda Brown and colleagues present their work on translanguaging in the English L2 classroom, giving an extensive overview of ideological stances from the last decades on the use of mother tongues vs. target language only in the language classroom. Liss Kerstin Sylvén reports on a recent study on very young Swedish learners of English, their exposure of English before school age and outside school and the role that this exposure plays for the development of English language proficiency. Finally, Gudrun Erickson and colleagues, present a questionnaire answered by a large number of modern language teachers in Sweden. The study explores the teachers’ answers on questions about their professional satisfaction, their use of the target language in the classroom, and the curricular status of foreign languages studied after English. Despite many critical points raised by these teachers, the survey reveals that they would not change profession, were they given the chance. The book ends with an Afterword by Stellan Sundh, University of Uppsala.

Flerspråkighet, litteracitet och multimodalitet
- 2013
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Många människor, såväl barn som tonåringar och vuxna, lever i flerspråkiga sammanhang som skiljer sig väsentligt från den enspråkiga miljö som ofta tas för given i skola och vuxenutbildning. Där har man i stället många gånger haft svårt att förhålla sig till flerspråkighet och ofta utgått ifrån ett bristperspektiv. Detta gäller inte minst skriftspråksundervisningen, där elevernas egna erfarenheter av en flexibel flerspråkighet utanför klassrummet alltför sällan tas tillvara.I den här antologin presenterar ett antal forskare exempel på skriftspråkliga erfarenheter, både flerspråkiga och multimodala, som sällan uppmärksammas i skolan. I sina studier har de sett en mängd goda exempel på hur lärare arbetar i klassrummet för att gynna skriftspråksutvecklingen hos flerspråkiga elever – deras multilitteracitet. En sådan medvetenhet hos läraren kan t.ex. handla om alltifrån att ha kunskap om effektiva läsförståelsestrategier till att förstå hur multimodalitet i läroböcker och multimodalt textskapande i klassrummet stärker lärande och flerspråkig kompetens.Boken vänder sig främst till blivande och verksamma lärare i skola och vuxenutbildning.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I kapitlet belyser vi inledningsvis språklig variation och de ideologier om standardspråk och språklig korrekthet som tenderar att dominera modersmålsundervisningen. Vi diskuterar därefter hur modersmålslärare kan arbeta med kritisk språkmedvetenhet på ett sätt som syftar till att eleverna breddar sin språkliga repertoar och når en förståelse för språkets sociala, politiska och ideologiska dimensioner.
