The purpose of this study is to explore specific pedagogical activities that benefit the student's verbal language development and to learn more about how our schools use teaching methods to achieve the ambitions in the governing documents in Sweden. The aim is finding the correlation between theory, research, governing documents and the educational work in our schools. This study contains an empirical survey in intention to see how teachers, pupils and school administrators experience school activities, to see if those activities are formed with the intention for pupils to reach the learning goals according to the governing documents.The aim of this study has been achieved by relating empirical data with theories and previous research on conversation analysis. Goffman's and Norrby's research on the importance of dialogue and previous research on dialogicity studied by Dysthe, Vygotsky and Bakhtin are presented. Those are related to empirical data and show that most teachers realize the importance of integrating dialogues in daily activities and in different learning contexts.

Bakgrund: Ett av målen med god omvårdnad är att etablera en vårdande relation. Godkommunikation stärker relationen och det skapas utrymme för bekräftelse och trygghet. Ickeverbal kommunikation utgör omkring två tredjedelar av alla budskap som förmedlas och ärvanligtvis det som uppfattas som mer äkta när budskap strider mot varandra. Sjuksköterskansicke verbala uttryck kan både öppna upp och skapa hinder i mötet med patienten vilket visar påvikten av en god kommunikativ förmåga. Syfte: Detta fördjupningsarbete belyser hur icke verbalkommunikation påverkar den vårdande relationen och patientens upplevelse av trygghet ochbekräftelse.

The aim of this master?s thesis is to obtain greater understanding of how children relate to the film medium and their experiences.

Tidigare forskning pekar på försämrad kommunikationsförmåga som ett av de mest uppmärksammade symtomen vid demenssjukdom. För att förmedla ett budskap till sin omgivning använder dementa som alla andra människor både verbala och icke-verbala signaler. Med tiden försämras deras verbala uttrycksätt och de börjar istället att i allt högre grad använda sig av de icke-verbala signalerna, som till exempel ansiktsuttryck, kroppsspråk, gester, paraspråk och liknande. Eftersom dementas olika kommunikativa uttryckssätt ibland kan vara väldigt svåra att tolka av andra i deras närhet, är det av stor betydelse att ta reda på de förutsättningar som påverkar detta. Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån vårdpersonalens berättelser belysa vilka faktorer som påverkar deras tolkning av dementas olika kommunikativa uttryckssätt under omvårdnadsmötet.

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the implications and challenges of intercultural communication. An in-depth study was performed of the perspectives from people who work within an international organization. How they experience cultural differences and how they handle them, in particular when it comes to communication. Also, their perceptions of communicative competence were explored. The study was carried out at Svalorna India Bangladesh, at the Swedish office in Lund.

Många barn har svårt att tillägna sig ett korrekt uttal och de kan uppvisa olika typer av uttalssvårigheter. Termen verbal dyspraxi används då uttalssvårigheterna är neurologiskt orsakade och den motoriska planeringen och/eller programmeringen av talets rörelsesekvenser är nedsatt. I tidigare forskning har behandlingsmetoden Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) lett till förbättring av uttalet hos barn i 5-8 års ålder med verbal dyspraxi på stimuli (ord/meningar) som de har tränat på. Huvudsyftet i följande studie var att undersöka huruvida behandlingen har effekt på uttalet hos äldre barn med komplexa uttalssvårigheter inklusive verbal dyspraxi då behandlingen genomförs 20- 30 minuter, 3 dagar i veckan i 4 veckor. Åtta skolbarn (8-13 år) med nämnda svårigheter samt eventuell komorbiditet ingick i studien.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att ta reda på vilken roll språkutvecklande aktiviteter spelar för förskolepersonal i två enskilda fall. Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ studie på två förskolor där vi undersökte vilken förståelse av och syn på barns verbala språkutveckling två utvalda pedagoger har. På vardera förskolan genomförde vi en intervju och en observation med en pedagog. Resultaten visar att pedagogerna har kunskaper om barns tidiga språkutveckling och att de anser att språket måste komma tidigt i ett barns liv. En slutsats som kan dras är att pedagogerna medvetet arbetar med språkutveckling i förskolan och att pedagogens utbildning kan ha inverkan på synen på barns språkutveckling..

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur elever i ett SVA-klassrum kommunicerar. Ämnet är aktuellt i vårt mångkulturella samhälle. Forskningsstrategin tar utgångspunkt i etnografi. Datainsamlingsmetoden har varit deltagande observation i den naturliga miljön. Resultatet visar att eleverna använder sig av verbal och icke-verbal kommunikation.

In some criminal cases, the only existing evidence is the verbal statement of a witness or the plaintiff. The typical example is an alleged rape where victim and perpetrator have had some kind of relation, and their records of the incident differ. In these cases, the assessment of the value of the evidence drawn from the plaintiff's story is of crucial importance. On the one hand, a false positive judgment means that a person is wrongly convicted, on the other hand, a failure to correctly identify a truthful claim of rape means that a victim of a severe crime is left without judicial remedy. That the prosecutor must prove that the crime is committed by the defendant without reasonable doubt, means that there is much more chance of a failure to convict guilty felons, than of the opposite.In the essay, the rules of criminal procedure directed at the evaluation of the verbal statement are identified and critically evaluated from the perspective of how they may or may not facilitate the judgment of a verbal statement presented before the court, either in person, or through other media such as video.

With this research we aimed to seek how youth workers express their experience of counselling on the internet compared to traditional counselling face to face with a theoretical ground in semiotics and symbolic interactionism. Our questions were 1) How do youth workers describe their experiences from anonymous, faceless online counselling? 2) How do youth workers experience the differences between online counselling and the traditional face-to-face counselling? 3) Which possibilities and difficulties do they see in online communication with adolescents? We used semi-structed interviews with seven youth workers. Six of those are active in non-profit organisations, and one in social services. The results from our interviews showed that the interviewees saw that misunderstandings were more frequent on the internet, but that online counselling with adolescents still was easier than in the face-to-face meetings.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur en grupp typiskt utvecklade, svenska barn, i åldrarna fyra till tio år presterar på tre deltest i VMPAC, för att därmed skapa ett underlag för en referens för svenska barn i bedömningen av avvikande utveckling. Studiens frågeställningar är: 1. Hur presterar en grupp typiskt utvecklade, svenska barn, i åldrarna fyra till tio år, på tre deltest i VMPAC (Focal Oromotor Control, Sequencing Maintenance Control och Connected Speech and Language Control)? och 2. Förekommer det några skillnader mellan en grupp typiskt utvecklade, svenska barn, jämfört med den amerikanska normeringen i VMPAC och barn med verbal dyspraxi (CAS) undersökta inom ramen för en magisteruppsats (Björelius-Hort, 2009)? Oral- och talmotorisk förmåga hos 23 svenska barn i åldrarna fyra till tio år, som åldersmatchats mot barn med verbal dyspraxi (Björelius-Hort, 2009), testades med deltest två, tre och fyra ur VMPAC.
