Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- A new Swedish Red List was published April 28th 2015 by the Swedish Species Information Centre in which 786 species of fungi are listed. Compared to the previous Red List published in 2010, 11 species have been down-listed, 51 species have been added and 35 species have changed names or taxonomic rank, thus the list has increased by 41. The changes are mainly due to increased knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution, not to changes in the sta-tus of the species. Here, the members of the Species Specialist Group for Fungi 2011 – 2015 summarize the results of the red listing.

“New technologies” and “old values”: The function of various text and media forms in literary studies
- 2015
-
In: Educare. - : Malmö högskola. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; :1, s. 117-138
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In a society where multimodal stories (movies, TV series, and computer games) have a big influence on young people, reports show that young people demonstrate a decrease in reading habits, reading comprehension, and reading abilities. This article analyses to what extent and in what way(s) various text and media forms are used in literary studies at upper secondary level in Sweden through interviews with five teachers, who offer their experiences, ideas, and thoughts on working with various fictional texts. The results show that novels are used most frequently, that the teachers struggle with the decrease in reading habits among their students, that the students prefer and show great knowledge about films, that there is an absence of multimodal fictional texts in literary studies, and that the teachers see that neither text form nor media form has an impact on student performance.

Engelska på fritiden och engelska i skolan : en omöjlig ekvation?
- 2015
-
In: Educare. - Malmö : Malmö högskola. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; :1, s. 53-71
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The present article explores challenges facing English language classrooms in Sweden and elsewhere due to new informal out-of-school language learning settings created by the current media landscape. The article also discusses the empowerment of teachers and teachers’ perceived ability to bridge the gap between the English used in school and the English used outside of school (extramural English) in various activities (blogging, playing digital games, watching TV/films etc.). Generally young people engage in extramural English activities on a voluntary basis and because of a specific interest; that is, they do not commonly do it for the purpose of language learning. As a consequence, they may become discouraged and demotivated during English classes in school. After an extensive literature review about motivation/demotivation in second language learning in general, and the current media landscape in relation to English language learning in particular, this article discusses problems with learner demotivation, the empowerment of teachers, and the development of teaching practices in order to meet the new challenges. The discussion draws on the authors’ experiences of in-service training programs (related to language teaching methodology) and on the results of a small-scale survey carried out among English teachers participating in Boost for teachers (Lärarlyftet).

Folkbildningen och det sociala kapitalet
- 2015
-
In: Educare. - : Malmö högskola, Lärande och Samhälle. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; :1, s. 31-51

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article investigates how bridging social capital can be created in the study associations’ activities. It is specifically bridging social capital that has positive effects on society because it boosts economic activity and shapes general trust. The study is built on interviews with study associations’ representatives and a developed conceptual model of bonding and bridging social capital where these categories are placed in two different dimensions. In the strongest definition of bonding social capital we find groups that are homogenous and who knows each other well. In the corresponding definition of bridging social capital we find groups that are heterogeneous and that know each other less well. A hybrid between these two can be groups that are homogenous, but know each other less well. A conclusion from the interview is that the study associations’ activities exist in all of these definitions. However, the creation of homogenous groups takes place more or less “natural”. The creation of heterogeneous groups, on the other hand, needs a force or a decision from the outside. Here the study association can play a major role.

Vocabulary in textbooks for young learners
- 2015
-
In: Educare. - : Malmö högskola. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; 2015:1, s. 73-92

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An extensive vocabulary is necessary for successful communication in a foreign language. According to the Swedish National Agency for Education, the teaching of English in Sweden is often based on one textbook and on that textbook only. The purpose of this study is therefore to describe what vocabulary is presented in one teaching material aimed at school years 4–6 (age group 10–12 years) in Sweden. More precisely, the following questions have been considered: (i) what are the most frequent words in the textbooks? and (ii) to what extent do words recur in the textbooks? To answer these questions, a corpus of the texts in the three books was compiled. The analyses show that although the texts appear to have been chosen to appeal to the age groups aimed for, there does not seem to be any consciously considered rationale behind the choice of what vocabulary to include, many words occur only once and the necessary repetition of words is thus lacking.
