I dag er generasjon Z den yngste generasjonen under 30 år på arbeidsmarkedet. Det betyr at generasjonen vil prege arbeidslivet i mange år fremover. Min empiriske undersøkelse er basert på et kvalitativt metodeopplegg i form av fokusgruppeintervjuer. Den ene gruppen består av tre jenter mens den andre gruppen består av tre gutter. Informantene tilhører generasjon Z målt i fødselsår. Generasjonen ...

This thesis covers the discussion of the role of L1 Mandarin in the course of L2 English acquisition. I focus specifically on state-change verbs where English and Mandarin share some properties but diverge in interpretations, as a way of examining if Feature Reassembly Hypothesis (Lardiere, 2007, 2008, 2009) is extendable to other domains of grammar that are not explicitly discussed in previous ...

Temaet for denne masteroppgaven er muntlighet i undervisningen. Bakgrunnen for studien er forskning som forteller at elevmuntligheten i norske førsteklasserom er lav og at høytlesing uten planlagt samtale knyttet til er en aktivitet som forekommer ofte. Med utgangspunkt i dette ønsket jeg å undersøke hvordan høytlesingens sentrale plass i førsteklasserom kan utnyttes for å øke elevmuntligheten. ...

Bart Holtermans bok, The Fish Lands. German trade with Iceland, Shetland and the Faroes in the 15th and 16th Century, handler om et lite utforsket kapittel av hanseatisk historie. I det femtende århundre begynte nordtyske, gjerne hanseatiske kjøpmenn å styre unna Bergen, som da var sentrumet for den nordatlantiske handelen, og drive direktehandel med Norges krones skattland Island, Færøyene og ...

Models on L3/Ln acquisition differ with respect to how they envisage degree (holistic vs. selective transfer of the L1, L2 or both) and/or timing (initial stages vs. development) of how the influence of source languages unfolds. This study uses EEG/ERPs to examine these models, bringing together two types of bilinguals: heritage speakers (HSs) (Italian-German, n = 15) compared to adult L2 learners ...

The notion of a network is ingrained in contemporary culture. In everyday English parlance, we casually talk about television networks, computer networks, professional networks, telephone networks, and so on. Even though the word has a technological flavor, the idea of a network is purely mathematical at its core. A network (or graph in mathematical language) is an abstract model that consists ...

Self-Determination Theory conceptualizes basic psychological needs (BPN) for autonomy, competence and relatedness as essentials for the learner to experience, maintain, and promote well-being, personal growth, and learning. However, the evidence of its influence in the classroom is still limited, especially in basic education (ages six to 14). The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic ...

Code-switching, i.e. the alternation between languages in a conversation, is a typical, yet socially-constrained practice in bilingual communities. For instance, code-switching is permissible only when other conversation partners are fluent in both languages. Studying code-switching provides insight in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying language control, and their modulation by ...

Respect and listening are two issues that are complicated to research. This paper presents how respectful listening may constitute one aspect of a teacher’s role in child-centered learning. The analysis focus on a teacher’s reflections about events that took place after she and a colleague carried out a mathematics teaching unit on culturally diverse children’s understanding of ‘pattern’. The teacher ...
