Abstract:
This study examines the sense of preparedness of preservice special education teachers (PSETs) to instruct English language learners. Pre- and post-survey measures were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank tests for a group of PSETs as they engaged in their second semester of student teaching experience. To explore emerging themes, a post-qualitative analysis was performed using focus groups. Quantitative results revealed no statistical difference except for the Self-Efficacy subscale. Focus group data showed increased confidence levels resulting from the student teaching experience. A Mann

Abstract:
Den här studien undersöker processbarhetsprogressionen i ett läromedel i svenska för nybör­jare. Analysen tar sin utgångspunkt i den processbarhetshierarki som utarbetats av Pienemann &amp; Håkansson (1999:404). Studien belyser i vilken utsträckning läromedlet följer process­bar­hetsprogression, hur stort utrymme de fem PT-nivåerna får i läromedlet och hur dessa nivåer tränas i läromedlets övningsuppgifter. Undersökningen visar att grammatiska strukturer från de flesta PT-nivåerna förekommer redan i läromedlets tidigaste texter. Boken följer processbarhetsprogression på en mor­fo­logisk nivå,
