Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Parents, teachers and institutions often attempt to implement monolingual policies in bilingual settings, believing that they thereby facilitate children’s bilingual development. Children, however, often have their own communicative agendas. In this study, we investigate how the twofold language policy of an English-medium preschool in Sweden is put into practice in everyday interaction. The results show that children (aged 3–4) develop a broader range of code alternation practices than the staff uses in their interaction with the children. The paper analyses several examples of spontaneous interaction either between staff and children, or among children playing with each other in the preschool. We show how the preschool’s English language profile in practice becomes a bilingual policy, which encourages children not only to acquire English and Swedish in the preschool, but also to learn different ways to manage their bilingualism in the school context.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents results from an ethnographic study of language policy as it is enacted in everyday interaction in two language profile preschools in Sweden with explicit monolingual language policies: English and Finnish, respectively. However, in both preschools, children are free to choose language or code alternate. The study shows how children through their interactive choices create and modify language policy-in-practice. We analyze extracts from typical free play interactions in each setting. We show how children use code alternation as a contextualization cue in both settings, but with somewhat different interac- tional consequences. Children in both preschools tend to follow the lead of the preceding speaker’s language choice. Code alternation is also a means to manage conversational roles, for example, to show alignment. While the staff give priority to the profile language, the children show through their interaction that skills in both the preschool’s profile language and in Swedish are valuable.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- this study explores children with complex communication needs, their peers and adult support persons in play with the talking and moving robot lekBot. two triads were filmed playing with lekBot at pre-school. lekBot was developed to facilitate independent and enjoyable play on equal terms for children with significant communication disabilities and their peers. Using Conversation analysis, participatory symmetry and enjoyment were investigated in relation to spoken and gestural communication, embodied stance, gaze, and affective display. Data originated from three video-recorded sessions that were approximately 2 hours long. Four different interaction situations were identified and explored: Participatory asymmetry, adult Facilitation, Greater Participatory symmetry and Creativity, and turn-taking and enjoyable Play with lekBot. neither participatory symmetry nor enjoyment were easily achieved in the play sessions and may require considerable effort, including adult involvement, but creative, spontaneous and highly enjoyable play, correlating with participatory symmetry to various degrees, was observed in a few instances.the findings are discussed with regard to play, aaC and the future development of robots to facilitate play.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes an ongoing project where we develop and evaluate a setup involving a communication board and a toy robot, which can communicate with each other via synthesized speech. The purpose is to provide children with communicative disabilities with a toy that is fun and easy to use together with peers, with and without disabilities. When the child selects a symbol on the communication board, the board speaks and the robot responds. This encourages the child to use language and learn to cooperate to reach a common goal. Throughout the project, three children with cerebral palsy and their peers use the robot and provide feedback for further development. The multimodal interaction with the robot is video recorded and analyzed together with observational data in activity diaries.

”för jag har börjat slarva lite med det”. Samtal på en pediatrisk diabetesmottagning

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Materialet för denna studie utgörs av 12 videoinspelade samtal med tonåringar på en pediatrisk diabetesmottagning som har transkriberats och analyserats med samtalsanalytisk metod. Vi kommer att diskutera ett antal exempel på hur blodglukosvärdet HbA1c omtalas i samtalen mellan läkare/sköterska och de unga med diabetes typ - 1. Detta värde intar en central plats i tonåringarnas reguljära besök på mottagningen. En viktig del under ett sådant besök är läkaren s samtal med tonåringen för att motivera hen att regelbundet och flera gånger dagligen mäta sina blodsockervärden, vilket är en förutsättning för att kunna dosera insulin på bästa sätt. Detta är i sin tur en förutsättning för att långtidsvärdet HbA1c ska l igga på den rekommenderade nivån. I samtalen jämförs och värderas patientens nuvarande och tidigare blodglukosvärden både av patienten själv, av föräldern och av läkare/sköterska. Tonåringarna har i intervjuer också berättat hur de upplever att de blir be dömda utifrån detta värde (jfr Ohlsson 2012). På samma sätt värderas patientens dagliga behandling av diabetesen. Läkare och patient, emellanåt även föräldern, föreslår sedan förändringar i behandlingen som främst tonåringen kommer att ansvara för. Studien har gjorts inom Centrum för personcentrerad vård (GPCC) i Göteborg, i projektet Pediatric Diabetes: Communication, Decision Making, Ethics and Health (Ericsson & Ottesjö, 2012).
