When the doctor believes you, but you’re still not happy
This article investigates patients’ negative and ambivalent lived post-consultation experiences and the related agencies when a doctor legitimizes their contested illness. The primary data consist of 25 telephone interviews conducted soon after the patients’ consultation with a doctor. All the interviewed patients suffered from sick building syndrome. Using reflexive thematic analysis in our study, underpinned by critical realist ontology and epi…
Instructing embodied exercises in theatre rehearsals and virtual improvisation workshops – the affordances and constraints of different spatiomaterial environments
Using Conversation Analysis, this paper examines how instructions for embodied exercises are constructed in a non-professional theatre rehearsal and an online improvisation workshop. We analyse how the leaders in both settings orient to the spatiomaterial environment when delivering the instructions and demonstrating the exercises. Thus, we aim at identifying the spatiomaterial affordances and constraints for instructing embodied exercises in eac…
Emergent complexities of understanding in bilingual workshops for children. Focus on instruction-giving sequences
This article examines the emergent complexities of understanding in bilingual workshops, and focuses on procedural instructions. The study participants were children from Finnish- and Swedish-speaking primary school classes, and their workshop facilitators. Our data comprised video-recordings of workshops in which the facilitators instructed various types of embodied activities in both Finnish and Swedish. Using conversation analysis, we demonstr…
Okay as a content word
The focus of this article is on OKAY as a resource for regulating language and constructing norm centres in authentic consultation meetings related to academic writing and recorded in Finland and Sweden. It gives an overview of all occurrences of OKAY in the interactional data in question, revealing that the word occurs frequently in academic writing consultations in Finnish, Finland Swedish, and Sweden Swedish. There are similarities in the freq…
Translatory sequences as collaborative achievements in bilingual workshops for primary school children
Using conversation analysis, we explore workshop leaders' collaboratively coordinated translations in bilingual workshops for primary school children of a Finnish- and Swedish-speaking school. We focus on cases in which a turn transition occurs between the original and translatory turn. We show that to proceed in parallel in both languages, the participants need a locally negotiated mutual agreement regarding translation. The first speaker's task…
Swedish immersion in the early years in Finland
Immersion education in Finland is a one-way (monolingual) early total Swedish programme for Finnish-speaking students. This immersion provision is offered at kindergarten level (ages 3–5), at preschool (age 6) and at primary levels (grades 1–9). Here, a brief synthesis of Finnish research studies on the early years in Swedish immersion is first provided, reviewing results from a number of quantitative and qualitative research studies. In order to…
