Effects of Word Definitions on Meaning Recall : A Multisite Intervention in Language-Diverse Second Language English Classrooms
- 2022

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Vocabulary experts recommend first language (L1) translation equivalentsfor establishing form–meaning mappings for new second language (L2) words, espe-cially for lower proficiency learners. Empirical evidence to date speaks in favor of L1translation equivalents over L2 meaning definitions, but most studies have investigatedbi- rather than multilingual learners. In our study, we investigated instructed Englishvocabulary learning through an intervention study in six language-diverse secondaryschool English classrooms in Sweden (N=74) involving three conditions for presen-tation of word meanings: (a) definitions in the L2 (English), (b) translation equivalentsin the shared school and majority language (Swedish), and (c) translation equivalents inthe shared school and majority language plus other prior languages among the learners(Swedish and other). Based on overall weighted mean effect sizes and mixed-effects modeling, the results showed that conditions that involved L1 translation equivalentsyielded higher scores than did target language definitions in immediate posttests with asmall effect size but no differences in delayed posttests.

Ömsesidighet i framtidens praktiknära språkklassrumsforskning : ASLA-symposiets panelsamtal med forskare, lärare och elever

In: Klassrumsforskning och språk(ande): Rapport från ASLA-symposiet i Karlstad, 12-13 april, 2018.. - Karlstad : Karlstads universitet. - 9789187884276 ; , s. 19-41

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Under ASLA-symposiet hölls för första gången ett panelsamtal om forskningsbehov i språkämnena där lärare, språkforskare och gymnasieelever deltog. I detta kapitel situerar vi idén med panelsamtalet i studier av lärares roll i och för den praktiknära skolforskningen. Vi redogör för några modeller för samverkan mellan lärare och forskare och diskuterar identifierade framgångsfaktorer i praktiknära forskning. Vi redogör också för KIPPS, det samverkansprojekt som möjliggjorde panelsamtalet och den satsning på praktiknära skolforskning som det statliga ULF-avtalet möjliggjort. Vi diskuterar sedan de tankar och idéer som lyftes i panelsamtalet i ljuset av aktionsforskning, lärares forskningsengagemang samt behovet av ömsesidigt kunskapsutbyte och lärande. Slutligen ger vi några förslag till vägar framåt för tillämpad språkvetenskap och praktiknära forskning och ASLA-föreningens möjliga roll i en sådan utveckling.

Reciprocity and challenge in researcher-student collaborative labour in a multilingual secondary school

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter focuses on challenge and reciprocity in researcher-student collaborative labour (Zigo 2001) in a large multilingual secondary school in Sweden. The school was recruited for a larger longitudinal study of classroom language policy. For the purposes of the present chapter, we analysed ethnographic data to shed light on the well-known challenge of recruiting and retaining students to participate in longitudinal research, and on aspects of reciprocity, which was operationalized as benefits that both parties, i.e. students and researchers, needed or desired (Trainor and Bouchard 2013). Results show that of the 43 students who were present in the classrooms studied, 35 (81%) provided written, informed consent to fill in a language-background questionnaire and participate in an interview. Fewer students with low grades consented to participate, but those who did provided data no less rich than that provided by students with top grades. As to reciprocal benefits, the researchers secured the research data needed, but also new knowledge about students’ heritage languages and the multilingual territories they had left prior to settling in Sweden. Another benefit relates to empowerment. The researchers were empowered by learning culturally appropriate terminology to use when communicating about multilingual and multi-ethnic territories; and interview data suggest that students were empowered when positioned as experts on their multilingual repertoires and the language ecology in their prior home territories. Finally, the chapter reveals that researchers’ stance of reciprocity evolved organically over time through their ethnographic engagement in the classrooms.

Alltid engelska i engelskundervisningen? : Flerspråkiga elevers perspektiv
- 2018
-
In: Leda lärande 2018. - Stockholm : Stockholms stad.
-
Conference paper (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Ska elevers olika modersmål samt skolspråket svenska användas på engelsklektioner? Detta är den övergripande frågeställningen i forskningsprojektet Flerspråkiga praktiker – en resurs i engelskundervisningen? som är finansierat av Vetenskapsrådet. I föreläsningen presenteras forskning om undervisning och lärande i engelska som ligger till grund för projektet samt projektets första resultat. Dessa belyser flerspråkiga elevers och deras lärares attityder och praktiker gällande användningen av olika språk för att stödja lärande och delaktighet i engelskundervisningen.

Framtidens undervisning i engelska : enspråkig, tvåspråkig eller flerspråkig?
- 2017
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Här presenteras det nystartade projektet Flerspråkiga praktiker i engelskundervisningen, finansierat av Vetenskapsrådet, samt forskning om flerspråkighet som ligger till grund för projektet. Vi kommer att undersöka hur och varför lärare och elever använder andra språk än engelska i engelskundervisningen. Vilken betydelse har användningen av elevers starkaste språk för deras lärande och inkludering i klassrummet?

Multilingual Spaces : Language Practices in English Classrooms. A Project Presentation
- 2017
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents a project that recently received funding from the Swedish Research Council. Data collection will begin in autumn 2017, focusing on language practices in multilingual English classroom spaces in Swedish secondary schools. While English is the normal medium of instruction in lessons, research in bilingual educational settings shows that judicious switches between pupils’ mother tongues (L1s) and the target language (L2) facilitates communication and enhances L2 learning and motivation. Psycholinguistic research points in the same direction: L1 activation during L2 processing is unstoppable in low-proficiency L2 learners. Drawing on this prior research, on the translanguaging framework and the theory of language mode, the project examines a) whether and for what purposes teachers and pupils use their complete language repertoires in English lessons; b) whether other semiotic means are used to include L1s represented in the classroom of which the teacher has no knowledge; c) what mechanisms may underpin the language practices observed; and d) whether support in all the L1s represented facilitates pupils’ learning of L2 vocabulary and affects pupils’ participation in classroom interaction. Using a large survey to map self-reported teacher practices, ethnographic methodology and conversation analysis to study language practices in English classrooms, and experimental intervention and quantitative methods to measure L2 vocabulary learning over time, the project aims to contribute to the development of evidence-based language practices in English teaching in multilingual schools.
