Military English Language and Teaching
Military English (ME) is an umbrella term that refers to the genre‐specific form of the English language used within military contexts. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including terminology, communication practices, language teaching and testing, and language policy of military personnel using and learning English. With more countries joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (e.g., Sweden and Finland), and becoming global part…
An idiodynamic investigation of student listening experiences in an English medium instruction political science lecture
Listening to and learning from a university lecture can be an arduous task, particularly when the lecture is given in a second/additional language, which is often the case in English medium instruction (EMI) contexts. Further, listening research has been limited by methodological constraints and has offered few real-time insights into the lecture listening experience. This paper introduces an innovative idiodynamic method for monitoring lecture c…
Bottom-up listening challenges in EMI lectures and a glimpse at the short-term residual problems they can cause
The lecture is a staple of university education worldwide. In order to glean disciplinary-specific information from the lecturer, students need to accurately process the speech stream. However, doing so in a second language, as often happens during English medium instruction (EMI) can be an arduous task. One often overlooked but fundamental listening issue is related to bottom-up processing, or decoding, of incoming speech (Field, 2008; Rost, 202…
Managing interactional (In)competence through laughter in peer L2 word search sequences
This study examines how laughter is used to manage interactional (in)competence during word search sequences in peer L2 English interactions. While research has highlighted the diverse roles of laughter in L1 interaction and L2 classroom discourse, little attention has been paid to its role in L2 peer talk, particularly in online environments. Drawing on 548 min of Zoom conversations among 16 university students in Sweden and Japan, this study em…
Monitoring Listening Comprehension in Real Time
Developing strong listening skills in a second language (L2) can be challenging for a variety of reasons. Within the context of L2 use in higher education, accurate and timely processing of aural input can be crucial for academic success, particularly because vast amounts of disciplinary‐specific content are delivered via academic lectures in the students' and/or teacher's L2. This brief report introduces and shares early observations from the Re…
Study Abroad in Sweden
With the availability of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) courses, an increasing number of international students have been joining Swedish universities. However, the language use in Swedish EMI courses may display unique features; while many Swedish students have high English language proficiency, code-switching between Swedish and English is reported as a common practice by both lecturers and students, even when international students a…
Conversation Analysis and Classroom Interaction
Researchers in the area of language teaching and learning had previously shied away from examining the micro‐detail of classroom interaction, regarding it as an excessively complex, heterogeneous, and particularly “messy” source of data. However, studies utilizing conversation analysis (CA) have demonstrated that second/foreign‐language (L2) classroom interaction can be analyzed, and, as with conversation, there is order at all points. In recent …
Social epistemics for analyzing longitudinal language learner development
Drawing on the notion of epistemic stance ( H eritage 2013) and utilizing the analytical framework of C onversation A nalysis, this study investigates the development of language learner identity from a longitudinal socio‐interactional perspective and suggests an alternative perspective in analyzing L 2 development. English as a lingua‐franca interactions at a university dormitory in J apan were collected across 22 months between two participants…
