Initial Assessment of First Language Literacy Resources for Adult Instruction in Swedish
This study is part of a project on initial assessment of first language (L1) literacy in adult newcomers prior to the commencement of L2 studies in Swedish. Here, we explore the assessment summaries of newcomers’ L1 literacy, performed by L2-teachers, with assistance from an interpreter. According to the syllabus, instruction in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) should be adapted to the individual ́s needs and goals; however, SFI often fails to do so.…
Target-like and non-target-like conjunctive relations in L2 Swedish beginner writing
The purpose of this paper is to explore conjunctive relations in recounts written by adult L2 Swedish beginners with a wealth of language learning experience as well as advanced literacy. Conjunctive relations were analyzed based on the following analytical categories: additive, temporal, comparative, causal, generally subordinating ‘att’ (that), and non-target-like. The principal results show the dominating category to be the additive. More unex…
The Writing Process of Bilingual Students with Focus on Revisions and Spelling Errors in Their Final Texts
Research on writing that focuses on what writers do when they compose shows that processes such as planning, transfer to writing and editing are recursive and affect the writing process of first and second language writers differently. To our knowledge, what has yet to be explored in research is the writing process of young bilingual students. The present study focused on the revisions and spelling errors made by 9-year-old bilingual students dur…
Literacy in a Dying Language
Kuot is a language in a critical situation. Most adults of lower middle age and older are full speakers but children are not learning it. In other words, it will become extinct in a few decades if nothing is done; but it is not too late if the community decides to turn it around, and do so fast. Thus far, the community has shown little interest. Into this situation, vernacular elementary education was introduced. While the community expects this …
The body in expressions of emotion
This contribution examines the use of body terms in expressions of emotion in Kuot, a non-Austronesian language of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea. It is found that expressions involving the word for ‘stomach’, daləp , correspond mainly to what we would consider to be psychological states, while expressions making use of neip ‘skin; body’ are largely concerned with physical states. Some other body parts also form part of emotive expressions
