Abstract [en]

For young people, a first encounter with criminal justice can have lasting effects. While perceptions of equitable treatment can generate feelings of belongingness and acceptance, treatment perceived as unfair or prejudicial can generate experiences of dissonance and exclusion. However, little research has examined young people’s appraisals of justice system encounters. The purpose of the study was to examine perceptions of criminal justice among young people suspected of a first, non-serious offence.

Using an intensive longitudinal design, young people suspected of criminal activity (n = 21) were interviewed during a justice process. Using subjective procedural justice as an analytical framework, a theory-driven thematic analysis was conducted. Results revealed how the actions of crime-prevention professionals were mostly appraised as proportionate and beneficially intended. However, some participants reported negative encounters and lacking opportunities for agency. Findings are evaluated in relation to the long-term consequences of a first encounter with criminal justice.

Abstract [en]

In a systematic examination of scales commonly used in L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) research, Al-Hoorie et al. (2024) found discriminant validity problems. Raising jangle fallacy concerns, they argue that substantive research should be paused until validity issues are ironed out. However, validity at the measurement level is dependent on validity at the construct level. Replication attempts can fail when models are poorly theorized. To resolve problems at the measurement level, problems at the construct level need to be addressed.

Abstract [en]

Language development is a long-term process. Individual-level longitudinal case studies have been foundational to SLA. However, methodologies that can support person-focused and process-oriented research lack consolidation. Qualitative longitudinal (QL) research (Neale, 2021a, 2021b) is a methodology that facilitates exploration of the influences of time over time. It provides a temporal architecture within which the ever-changing influence of time can be explored. In QL research, development is studied during a period of transition. With focus trained on a defined time window, data generation is guided by temporally configured strategies. This article introduces QL methodology and demonstrates its application in the investigation of willingness to communicate (WTC) among immigrant women in Sweden. We present the key principles of QL research, and the application of data collection strategies that are (1) sequential, (2) participatory, (3) cartographic, and (4) recursive. In QL research, exploration of the episodic and incremental nature of change will be facilitated when narratives reflecting a participant’s experiences are compiled and shared with an engaged researcher in sequentially ordered interviews. In a QL study, time provides an axis of comparison. With participatory data providing pivots around which an interview is conducted, interviews are designed to map out temporal shifts. In mapping a developmental journey, events currently in focus are examined in relation to similar events discussed in preceding interviews and, within broader developmental timeframes, previous journeys. The article concludes with an assessment of the opportunities and challenges associated with QL research. © 2024 The Author(s)

Abstract [en]

Background and purpose

Today, insights into the motivation of L2 learners in universities and schools abound. However, findings can translate poorly to populations of adult migrants, where language proficiency is inextricably bound up with life opportunities, where the future is often uncertain, and where L2 learning is a long-time, high-stakes process (Ortega, 2019). To address this knowledge gap, the purpose of the research was (i) to identify motivation constructs relevant to the situation of adult L2 learners in circumstances of precarity, and (ii) to develop and validate scales to measure motivation. From the literature on motivational persistence, three constructs were identified as relevant to the investigation of adult migrants’ L2 motivation: Approach–Avoidance (AA) (Elliot, 2006), Hope (Snyder 2000), and Future Time Perspective (FTP) (Nuttin, 2014).

Procedures

For each construct, a preexisting scale was adapted for current purposes: AA (Lockwood et al., 2002), Hope (Snyder et al., 1996), and FTP (Nuttin, 2014). Following piloting, and using back translation methods, Arabic, Persian, and Russian language versions of each scale were created. Questionnaires containing these scales were administered to 193 adult migrants learning L2 Swedish. Data was inputted into SPSS (version 25). Validation procedures described in Botes et al. (2021) were used, with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) carried out in Mplus 8 (Muthen & Muthén, 1998–2017).

Results

For AA and Hope, the CFA showed adequate fit. Both scales demonstrated high internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha between .70 and .84, and McDonald’s omega between .70 and .84. Analysis of the AVE and factor loadings revealed acceptable values, indicating that the items included in each factor shared a high proportion of variance. For FTP, results of CFA were poor. Internal consistency and factor loadings were unacceptably low. Findings are discussed in relation to measures needed to investigate motivation in migrant populations.

Abstract [en]

Motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL) are interrelated constructs. Motivation can be a precursor, a mediator, and an outcome of SRL. In L2 learning, the interrelatedness of motivation and self-regulation has long been recognized (Dörnyei, 2005). However, a conceptualization of the connections is lacking. This article models the L2 motivation–SRL relationship. Drawing a distinction between personal and social sources of motivation (Zimmerman & Schunk, 2008), attention is directed to variation in self-evaluation processes. With a focus on self-evaluation where social standards provide points of reference (Higgins, 1990), and drawing on a model where connections between the self-system and SRL are conceptualized at the timescale of working cognition (McCombs & Marzano, 1990), a model of the L2 motivation–SRL relationship is presented. The model identifies paths of influence relating to (i) self-evaluation focused on personal criteria, and (ii) self-evaluation where reference points are provided by social standards. The model provides a conceptual framework for systemically structured investigation, a heuristic for the interpretation of research findings, and a tool to support L2 learners' motivation and SRL. Explanations of how socially focused self-appraisal can promote proactive learning behaviours are provided

Abstract [en]

Identities fundamental to the self, such as race and gender, can operatethrough visual markers on the body. Identities related to a person’s heritage, ornationality, can also become visible. However, when physical appearance means thata person can pass as a member of a dominant group, being identified or ‘marked’ asother takes place through language use. In migration contexts, situations where aperson’s heritage or nationality is revealed can lead to experiences of vulnerability.This study investigated the experiences of five Russian-speaking women living inSweden whose migrant backgrounds were not visibly noticeable, up until the pointthat interaction was initiated. Interviews were carried out in the summer of 2022during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Data was analysed using a double hermeneutic approach. Findings revealed how, following the outbreak of the war, the fearof becoming visible increased. Fears of exposure triggered vigilant behaviours, andan experience of needing to regulate visibility. Results show how the experience ofhaving situational control over visibility could buffer against emotional pain causedby perceptions of negative positionings, and the risk of prejudicial treatment.

Abstract [en]

In many contexts of multilingualism, language learners can initiate communication in the target language (TL), or a contact language (such as English). Patterns of use emerging from these choices affect TL development. They also vary between individuals. Willingness to communicate (WTC) needs to be investigated in ways that capture these variations. So far, WTC has not been studied in multilingual contexts, or using individual-level longitudinal designs. Employing a single-case, time-serial design and focused on a critical period of TL growth, this study explores WTC trajectories of adult learners of Swedish for whom the TL and English provide viable communication options in community interaction. Change point and moving window correlational analyses reveal the operation of mutually interacting influences that shape WTC and have system-level effects. With light shed on processes at the developmental timescale, findings are discussed in the context of language choice, co-evolution, and the trait-state dichotomy.

Patterns of use emerging from these choices vary between individuals and affect TL development. Willingness to communicate (WTC) needs to be investigated in ways that capture these variations. So far, WTC has not been studied in multilingual contexts, or using individual-level designs. This case study explores intraindividual variability in the WTC propensities of adult learners of Swedish for whom the TL and English provide viable communication options in community interaction. Carried out over a period where TL skills began to develop, the purpose was to explore the process characteristics of changes in communication-initiation propensities. A person-context dynamics perspective was employed, and analyses of time-serial data were combined with analyses of concurrently generated interview data. Results reveal how changes in WTC could be gradual and nongradual, continuous and discontinuous.
