Critical place‐based pedagogy and language teacher education in the Global North and South
Critical place‐based pedagogies are closely tied to the social space of teachers and learners, aiming to raise awareness and support efforts for positive change. Social space shapes—and is shaped by—language teaching and learning. A critical approach to language teacher education must always engage with space and place, and contextual awareness is a key step in teachers’ critical reflection on their work. This article focuses on language teacher …
Learnings from/about diversity in space and time
This article critically examines the discourses concerning historical and transnational linguistic and cultural diversity in the semiotic landscape of a new teacher education building in Norway. In 2020, this building, housing the Department of Education, opened at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, in the city of Tromsø. Designing, constructing, and decorating a new building for a national teacher education was taken as an opportunity to refle…
Kindergartens in Northern Norway as semiotic landscapes
Educational institutions have a responsibility to ensure that all children receive care and equal possibilities for development, independent of their linguistic and cultural background. However, there is little knowledge about how kindergartens ensure a welcoming and inspiring place for both transnational migrants, Indigenous children, and children from the majority population. Through a semiotic landscape analysis from two kindergartens in North…
Reported language attitudes among Norwegian speaking in-migrants in Tromsø
Today, in an era of increased mobility and migration, there is also increased in-migration within regions and countries. In the case of Norway, there is high tolerance for dialect use, and in this context, it is interesting to ask which kinds of sociolinguistic strategies in-migrants consider to be available given their current situation. This article explores the reported language attitudes from the point of view of people who have moved to Trom…
Multilingual encounters in Northern Norway
Norway has always been a multilingual society; Sami languages have been spoken in vast geographical areas since prehistoric times, the Kven and other historical minority groups settled in the count
Indigenising Education
As Indigenous people reclaim their position after centuries of oppression, the tensions between Indigenous needs and national demands surface. This is also the case of the Indigenous Sámi in Norway. After a long period of colonisation, recognition of the indigenous Sámi people and their language and culture is replacing the politics of erasure. In this process, the educational system is the institution where this new direction can reach the farth…
Hierarchical Dialect Encounters in Norway
Norway is sometimes simplistically described as a sociolinguistic paradise, where the use of dialects is integrated in all social contexts. This article examines the significance of the mother tongue in a hierarchical dialect encounter in Norway. The analysis is based on fieldwork in Tromsø, the largest city in north Norway, and the investigation focuses on a sociolinguistic interview with one speaker, Trond. The micro-level language choices of t…
Ethnolects and language emancipation in Northern Norway
The sociolinguistic complexity in the historical minorities in Northern Norway adheres to two diverging processes: language shift from Kven/Sámi to Norwegian and language revitalization of Kven/Sámi. These processes are results of shifting minority politics in Norway, and although the shift from assimilatory to emancipatory politics may be described as abrupt, the sociolinguistic processes are not. In this situation, there can be no doubt about t…
