Abstract:

The present study investigates communicative strategies used by a group of four upper-secondary L2 learners of English. To be able to reach this goal, I have recorded and transcribed a conversation between these students in order to detect natural communication. The communicative strategies I have looked for were: pauses and hesitations, questions, code-switching and message abandonment. Previous research on communicative strategies is divided into two different fields. These two approaches define and classify communication strategies as either interactional or psycholinguistic.

Abstract:

Film has worked as a tool in schools a long time. But what ways can film facilitate learning in an upper-secondary classroom, regarding the aspects of global English and culture? This research synthesis will attempt to answer the question on how film can facilitate learning by investigating the different perspectives in the learning process, such as the cultural and global perspective whilst focusing on the perception of using film from students and teachers. The curriculum for upper-secondary school is highly influenced by the diversity in society, which aligns well with the cultural pers

This essay presents an interventional field study that aims to refine practice in the English classroom in Swedish upper-secondary school by implementing imitation pedagogy. Imitation pedagogy is essentially learning to analyze and imitate texts’ internal structure for developing one’s own production.

For teachers, being able to provide feedback that learners can act upon is paramount for making learning how to write possible. A questionnaire was sent out to students in Swedish Upper Secondary School.

The results are then used in a discussion that aims to draw attention to the potential implications that feedback may have on students’ motivation to write.

The present thesis work starts from the assumption that harmonic oscillations and normal modes are key physical concepts. They are fundamental in quantum physics, in electromagnetism (especially in treating coupled oscillating circuits and electromagnetic waves), in acoustics and in mechanical systems. The conceptual and practical importance of normal modes emerges also clearly from the fact that every small and sufficiently smooth oscillation of a complex system is given by a linear superposition of its normal modes. The notion of normal modes is thus a powerful conceptual organizer. N

Abstract:

The study upon which this thesis is based aimed, first of all, to document the history of mathematics curriculum change in Western Australia. Although curriculum development in mathematics in this State has been an ongoing process for at least two decades, the outcome of an extensive literature review conducted as part of the study revealed that only a cursory evaluation of the current upper school mathematics curriculum change process had ever been undertaken. Neither has any formal appraisal of the suitability or otherwise of the variety of new upper school mathematics courses introduced dur

Abstract:

<p>The essay has been written in order to give a picture of culture teaching within the subject of English in upper secondary schools in Sweden. Although earlier research within this field is still not very extensive, a theoretical framework has been based on the results available and the syllabuses for the subject of English in the upper secondary school. A questionnaire with open question has been used as a tool for collecting data. The main focus is put on analyzing the contents of and ways in which teachers deal with cultural studies, considering the goals in the syllabuses. The results su

Abstract:

<p>An earlier corpus study on Swedish university students’ errors concerning the use of apostrophes when writing in English (overuse, omission and misplacement) is contrasted to a new corpus study of upper secondary pupils’ texts. The results turn out to be similar: omissions are numerous among the upper secondary pupils, but overuses negligible. The proportionally most common errors are omissions in genitive constructions. This is contrasted to the views of the classes’ teacher, who perceived contractions to be more problematic due to these errors being more numerous. The essay also briefly d

Abstract:

This study uses focus groups and a questionnaire to examine the information-seeking behaviours of Swedish upper secondary school students. Focus group interviews were conducted among students aged 17-20 at four Swedish upper secondary schools in two different cities. The interviews focused on how the informants themselves experienced their information seeking. In addition, a survey focused on the opinions of upper secondary school teachers regarding the source use of their students. The research questions considered were: What kind of information-seeking behaviour characterizes Swedish upper s

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of reference tests for moderating internally assessed national qualifications at the upper secondary school level. In a secondary analysis, the relative merits of two alternative item formats, the open-ended and cloze, were compared with the multiple-choice item, which has been traditionally utilized in reference tests of this nature. A series of short reference tests, based on the underlying construct of developed abilities, were constructed in four core subject areas (i.e. English, mathematics, science and social studies), alo

Abstract:

The thesis commences by considering the changes in the concept of intelligence over the last thirty years and the rise of programmes such as those of Lipman, de Bono, Sternberg and Feuerstein that make claims of improving the intellectual skills of school students. The Somerset Thinking Skills Course (STSC) is an example of such a programme based on Feuerstein's theory. The author seeks to evaluate the course to establish if it is a practical and effective medium for students across the full ability range of an upper school. The research takes as its core a traditional experimental quantitativ

First, what are the underlying factors that affect the different transition processes to UPS level used in different States in Mexico? Second, what are the characteristics of 15 year-olds selected at UPS and how do they differ in States that use different transition processes? Third, how do 15 year-old students, educational expectation

Abstract:

In classrooms all over the world, there are students who fear the attention of both teachers and peers alike. Anxiety is a cause for such fears and in foreign language classrooms it can be prevalent. Foreign language anxiety (FLA) is a concept developed by Horwitz et al (1986) to describe the unique anxiety that arises in a foreign language learning situation. Anxious students are less prone to use their target language and feel less motivated in their language studies, both of which have a negative effect on their learning. The aim of this study was to measure and compare anxiety levels among

Abstract:

This thesis describes the development of a specification for a computer based modelling system in geography. The modelling system will be for use in upper secondary school geography classes. The classroom approach to geography reflects the developments within the broader academic discipline. By adopting a systems analysis approach, it is possible to represent models on the computer, from the full range of geographical approaches. The essence of geographical modelling is to be able to use a computer based environment to manipulate, and create, the inter-relationships of the components of a geog

Syftet med vår rapport är att undersöka vad eleverna anser om att använda detta undervisningssätt inom matematiken på gymnasiet. I vår undersökning valde vi att använda oss av två olika undersökningsmetoder, en enkätundersökning och intervjuer. Enkätundersökningen gjorde vi dels för att få alla elevers synpunkter och en bred syn på deras kunskap om begreppet laborativ undervisning. Vi ville även veta vad de ansåg om laborativ undervisning i jämförelse med traditionell undervisning. Intervjuerna gjo
