Äidinkielen ja vieraan kielen opettajien käsityksiä lukustrategioiden opettamisesta ja oppimisesta

Abstract

"First and second language teachers’ beliefs of teaching and learning reading strategies". In this article, I examine how mother tongue teachers (Finnish, Swedish) and teachers of German as a foreign language in Finland perceive the teaching and learning of reading strategies. I investigate their theoretical and action beliefs and their beliefs on teachers’ roles. The aim was to explore mother tongue and German teachers’ beliefs of reading strategies and the methods they use to introduce their students to active reading. I investigated how teachers guide their students to read and use reading strategies. The article also examines the links that teachers perceive between reading in the mother tongue and reading in a foreign language.
