English language teaching in Hungarian primary schools with special reference to the teacher's mother tongue useNagy, Krisztina January 2009 (has links)
This thesis is a study of language use in English language classrooms in primary schools in Hungary. The focus of the study is on the use of the target language (English) and the mother tongue (Hungarian) by the teachers and the learners. The teachers are all Hungarian native speakers, with varying levels of competence and previous experience in communicative language teaching, and this presents a challenge to the adoption of a communicative approach to the teaching of English. The National Core Curriculum endorses the communicative approach, with the expectation that the target language will be used as much as possible. However, in practice, the mother tongue is widely used in these classrooms, both by the teachers and by the students. There is therefore a conflict between policy and practice: the policy is that the target language should be used wherever possible, whereas the practice is that the use of the target language is limited to predictable and routine contexts. It is this conflict which constitutes the central question which is addressed in this thesis: how do teachers resolve the conflict between what they are expected to do, and what they feel capable of doing. Data from classrooms and interviews were collected and analysed, using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The focus of the analysis was on the amount and function of the use of the mother tongue by the teachers. Comparisons were drawn between teachers of Grade 4 pupils who started to learn English in Grade 1 and those who started in Grade 4. This analysis is complemented by evidence concerning the teachers‘ beliefs and understandings about the pressures and constraints which affect their teaching of English to young learners. The results suggest that the possibility of communicative language teaching in these classrooms is constrained by various factors, including the limitations in the children‘s cognitive capabilities and the proficiency level of the children, and the teachers‘ preference for using their previous methods which included grammar, translation and memorisation; also by curriculum requirements such as the use of the textbook, and the necessity to prepare the children for examinations. The implications of these findings for curriculum development in foreign language teaching in other comparable contexts are discussed.

Previous issue date: 2006-10-20 / This dissertation aims at investigating the rhythmical and intonation aspects of the
English production by a fluent speaker of this language whose mother language is
Portuguese, having as a reference the production of a native speaker of English, and
thus, to inspect how and in which level the phonological-phonetic processes related
to sounds, rhythm and intonation of the target language are transferred to the
mother language prosody. The relation between the sound production and the
prosody can be seen in the connected speech provided by sound modifications in
the juncture between words, in the use of pauses, assimilation, reduction and
elimination of sounds, among others. The corpus, comprised of 40 sentences from
the film Dozen by the Cheaper was used to get closer to a connected speech
production. The sentences were typed in individual cards and read six times by
each subject, both female, between 25 and 30 years old, and the cards were shuffled
before each repetition. The six reading recordings were done at PUC-SP s Radio
and TV studio. The data analysis was provided by the Acoustic Phonetic using
duration measures (time a sound takes to be produced) and the variation of the
fundamental frequency (tone variation during the speech) based on the waveform
ranged to the wide-band spectrograms, extracted from the speech signal digitalized
by an acoustic analysis program. Some sentences from the corpus were chosen to
the analysis, and consonantal and vowel segments were measured. Duration
measures and f0 charts were made in order to observe how much the subjects got
closer or farther to the sound production, and to the English rhythm and intonation
due to the Brazilian Portuguese interference. The final results point that: (1) the
sound production, English rhythm and intonation are related to the connected
speech, the mother language (in this case, the Brazilian Portuguese) interfere in the
sound production and English prosody, but, an important aspect is that this
interference is not categorical, it can occur or not and, if it occurs, it must be done
in different levels; and (3) the Acoustic Phonetic provides some advantages to the
teaching and learning of a foreign language rhythm and intonation, in so far as the
different production aspects can be observed, making possible that the Brazilian
English teacher makes clear the differences between the mother language and the
target one to the students, differences that can or can t be noticed or produced by
the students, and in different levels / Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo investigar os aspectos rítmicos e
entoacionais na produção do inglês por um falante proficiente nessa língua e nativo
do português brasileiro (PB), tendo como referência a produção de um falante
nativo do inglês, e assim inspecionar de que modo e em que grau processos
fonético-fonológicos da relação entre sons e ritmo e entoação da língua-alvo são
mapeados na prosódia da língua materna. A relação entre a produção de sons e
prosódia é observada na fala corrente por meio da transformação de sons na juntura
entre palavras, do uso de pausas, da assimilação, redução e/ou apagamento de sons,
entre outros. Para aproximar-se de uma produção de fala corrente, foi utilizado um
corpus composto por 40 sentenças, retiradas do script do filme Dozen by the
Cheaper (Doze é Demais), as quais foram digitadas em fichas individuais e lidas
por cada sujeito, ambos do sexo feminino e na faixa etária entre 25 e 30 anos, em
seis repetições, sendo as fichas embaralhadas antes de cada repetição. A gravação
das leituras foi feita no Estúdio de Rádio e TV da PUC-SP. A análise dos dados foi
feita por meio da Fonética Acústica, a partir de medidas de duração (tempo que um
som leva para ser produzido) e da variação da freqüência fundamental (variação de
tons durante a fala), realizadas com base na forma da onda alinhada a
espectrogramas de banda larga, extraídos do sinal de fala digitalizado, por um
programa de análise acústica. Foram selecionadas algumas sentenças do corpus
para análise, nas quais foram medidos segmentos acústicos correspondentes a
vogais e consoantes. Em seguida, foram elaborados gráficos das medidas de
duração e f0 para observar o quanto os dois sujeitos aproximavam-se ou
distanciavam-se na produção dos sons e do ritmo e entoação do inglês em função
da interferência do português brasileiro sobre o sujeito não-nativo. Os resultados
obtidos indicam que: (1) a produção de sons e do ritmo e entoação estão
intimamente relacionadas na fala corrente; (2) há interferência da língua materna
(neste trabalho, o português brasileiro) na produção de sons e prosódia do inglês;
porém, o aspecto importante é que essa interferência não é categórica; podendo ou
não ocorrer e, se ocorrer, fazê-lo em diferentes graus; e (3) a Fonética Acústica
proporciona vantagens para o ensino e aprendizagem das questões rítmicas e
entoacionais de uma língua estrangeira, na medida em que os diferentes aspectos da
produção podem ser observados, possibilitando que professores brasileiros de
inglês possam explicitar as diferenças entre a língua materna e a língua-alvo aos
seus alunos, diferenças que podem ou não ser por eles percebidas e/ou produzidas,
ou incorporadas, e em diferentes graus

Previous issue date: 2008-08-08 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis was developed in an inter/transdisciplinary approach that involves Applied Linguistics (AL),
French Discourse Analysis (DA) and Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA). It was designed to
investigate the constitutive representations of oral-enunciative competence (OEC) in English constructed
by some subjects when occupying distinct discursive places undergraduates (first synchrony) and
graduates (second synchrony) majoring in Foreign Languages. Regarding the first synchrony (1997), I
studied how eighteen (18) subjects represent their OEC in English and that of their classmates in the
context of university conversation classes of English, how these representations are translated into their
learning experiences and in which discursive formations (DFs) their discursive practices are
circumscribed. With relation to the second synchrony (2005), I studied how eleven (11) of these same
subjects represent their OEC in English and that of their interlocutors in the several contexts experienced
after graduation, how these representations are translated into the English teaching experiences in the
different educational contexts and in which DFs their discursive practices are circumscribed when
answering the AREDA Questionnaire. A study of the existing relations between the two synchronies was
also carried out. Some findings of the study indicate that, in the first synchrony, the participants relation
concerning their OEC in English is ruled by three representations: i) the OEC in English as lack; ii) the
OEC in English as projection; iii) the OEC in English as exclusion. Such representations are
interpenetrated and interconstituted and the discursive practices are circumscribed in some DFs that I
classified as: DF of Lack (Lack of Linguistic Accuracy, Lack of Pertaining and Lack of Identification),
Projective-Attributive DF (by Difference, Subjective and Interpellant) and DF of Exclusion (by
Difference, by Denegation and by Resistance). In the second synchrony, the participants relation
concerning their OEC in English is ruled by four representations: i) the OEC in English as lack; ii) the
OEC in English as projection; iii) the OEC in English as reference; iv) resisting to the lack of OEC in
English. These representations are interpenetrated and interconstituted and the discursive practices are
circumscribed in some DFs that I described as: DF of Lack (Remaining and Constitutive), Projective-
Attributive DF (by Difference, Subjective and Interpellant), DF of Orality Supremacy (Legitimating
Praxis and Practice) and Heterotopic DF (by Event and by Desire). The discursive formations, in both
synchronies, are in constant alterity, are interpenetrated in the continuum of the subjects discursive
inscription and, for this reason, it cannot be said that one overlaps the other. By examining the dialogical
relations among the two synchronies DFs, it was possible to observe that they are established by: i)
resonance; ii) consonance; iii) dissonance; iv) dissension. In the social formation from where they
enunciate, in each synchrony, the participants construct representations about OEC in English in a way
that they inscribe themselves in DFs that coexist by dialogical and polyphonic relations that reveal their
polyphonic referentiality. This referentiality is constructed from the discursive places, from the subjectforms
and from the social places they occupy. It is also constituted by the DFs in which their discursive
practices are inscribed. Such DFs coexist circumscribed in dialogic-polyphonic relations that, in the
meaning dispersion, are similar, close, repetitive, contradictory, depart, dislocated. The subjects, in the
different discursive places occupied in the two synchronies are in constant and continuing interpellation.
The resistance to OEC in English occurs through the discontinuity of the act of becoming subject to
face this resistance and to inscribe in many and different places that support such a resistance. Thus, the
discourse of OEC in English , in this thesis, constitutes an effect of discursive places dislocation
undergraduates and graduates; learners and teachers; users of the language in the ethos of both
synchronies that permitted the diachronic analysis. From the polyphonic referentiality and from the
diachrony established between the two synchronies, it is possible to say that there is, consequently, a
discourse of oral-enunciative competence in English and that this discourse is an effect of dislocation of
the discursive places occupied by the participants in the ethos in which they enunciate their utterances / Esta tese foi desenvolvida em uma abordagem inter/transdisciplinar que abrange a Lingüística Aplicada
(LA), a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa (AD) e a Análise Dialógica do Discurso (ADD). Foi
delineada com o objetivo de se investigar as representações constitutivas da competência oral-enunciativa
em língua inglesa (COE em LI), construídas por alguns sujeitos quando ocupam os distintos lugares
discursivos licenciandos (primeira sincronia) e licenciados (segunda sincronia) em Letras. Em relação
à primeira sincronia (1997), estudei como dezoito (18) sujeitos representam a sua COE em LI e a de seus
colegas no contexto de sala de aula de Conversação em LI na universidade, como essas representações
se traduzem em suas experiências de aprendizagem e em quais formações discursivas (FDs) se
circunscrevem as práticas discursivas presentes em seus dizeres. Em relação à segunda sincronia (2005),
estudei como onze (11) desses mesmos sujeitos representam a sua COE em LI e a de seus interlocutores
nos diversos contextos por eles vivenciados após a licenciatura, como se traduzem essas representações
nas experiências de ensino de língua inglesa em diferentes contextos educacionais e em quais FDs se
circunscrevem as práticas discursivas presentes nos dizeres enunciados nos depoimentos AREDA. Um
estudo sobre as relações existentes entre as duas sincronias foi também realizado. Como resultado, foi
possível depreender que, na primeira sincronia, a relação dos participantes da pesquisa, em relação à COE
em LI é regida por três representações: i) a COE em LI enquanto falta; ii) a COE enquanto projeção; iii) a
COE enquanto exclusão. Essas representações se interpenetram e se interconstituem, sendo que as
práticas discursivas presentes nos dizeres dos enunciadores encontram-se circunscritas em algumas FDs
que denominei: FD da Falta (de Acuidade Lingüística, de Pertencimento e de Identificação), FD
Projetivo-Atributiva (pela Diferença, Sujeitudinal e Interpelativa) e FD da Exclusão (por Diferença, por
Denegação e por Resistência). Na segunda sincronia, a relação dos participantes é regida por quatro
representações: i) a COE em LI enquanto falta; ii) a COE em LI enquanto projeção; iii) a COE em LI
enquanto referencialidade; iv) resistindo à falta de COE em LI. Essas representações, como na primeira
sincronia, se interpenetram e se interconstituem, sendo que as práticas discursivas presentes nos dizeres
dos enunciadores encontram-se circunscritas em algumas FDs que denominei: FD da Falta
(Remanescente e Constitutiva), FD Projetivo-Atributiva (pela Diferença, Sujeitudinal e Interpelativa),
FD da Soberania da Oralidade (Legitimadora da Práxis e da Prática) e FD Heterotópica (pelo
Acontecimento e pelo Desejo). As FDs, em ambas as sincronias, encontram-se em constante alteridade, se
interpenetram no continuum da inscrição discursiva dos sujeitos em enunciação e, por isso, não se pode
dizer que alguma delas se sobreponha às outras. Ao examinar as relações dialógico-polifônicas entre as
FDs das duas sincronias, foi possível observar que elas se dão por: i) ressonância; ii) consonância; iii)
dissonância; iv) dissensão. Na formação social de onde enunciam, em cada sincronia, os participantes da
pesquisa constroem representações sobre a COE em LI de forma a se inscreverem em FDs que coexistem
permeadas por relações dialógico-polifônicas que, por sua vez, deixam vir à tona sua referencialidade
polifônica. Essa referencialidade é construída a partir de lugares discursivos, das formas-sujeito e dos
lugares sociais que ocupam, e é constituída, também, das FDs nas quais inscrevem as práticas discursivas
de seus dizeres, sendo que essas FDs coexistem circunscritas em relações dialógico-polifônicas que, na
dispersão dos sentidos, se assemelham, se aproximam, se repetem, se contradizem, se afastam, se
deslocam. Os participantes da pesquisa, nos diferentes lugares discursivos ocupados nas duas sincronias,
encontram-se em constante e contínua interpelação. A resistência à COE em LI se dá pela
descontinuidade do ato de tornar-se sujeito para enfrentar essa resistência e se inscrever em vários e
diferentes lugares que dão respaldo a essa resistência. Dessa forma, o discurso da COE em LI , nesta
tese, se constitui um efeito de deslocamento de lugares discursivos licenciandos e licenciados;
aprendentes e ensinantes; usuários no ethos das duas sincronias colocadas sob investigação que, por sua
vez, permitiram uma análise da diacronia que aqui se instaurou. A partir da referencialidade polifônica e
da diacronia instaurada entre as duas sincronias, pode-se dizer que há, assim, a constituição de um
discurso da COE em LI , sendo esse discurso um efeito de deslocamento dos lugares discursivos
ocupados pelos participantes da pesquisa, no ethos em que proferem seus dizeres

Previous issue date: 2012-10-25 / Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo / This research is inserted in the Applied Linguistic area and intends to investigate the
perspectives of the student of one public school with regard to work with proposed
exercises of English language in the Student Book from the São Paulo State
Education Secretariat. The sorts of exercises covered in this study are centered in
grammar, which is included in language conception, and in team work. The
educational context comprised is based on the São Paulo State Modern Foreign
Language Curriculum, English, (SÃO PAULO, 2010), with the addition of the Student
Book (SÃO PAULO, 2009a) and the Teacher Book (SÃO PAULO, 2009b). The
theoretical axis is mainly based in Vigotski (1934/1991; 1934/2008) and his Social-
Historical-Cultural vision. It is complemented with Koch (2003), Travaglia
(1995/2005), Larsen-Freeman (2003) and Celce-Murcia (2008) for language and
grammar concerns and Magalhães (2009) for team work concern. Methodologically,
this research fits in a case study (STAKE, 1995; YIN, 2001) of interpretative
qualitative type that uses a questionnaire (NUNAN, 1992) and an interview (RUBIN &
RUBIN, 2005) as data gathering instruments. I identified ten different perspectives of
students about English learning in the context of this research. The analysis of the
results showed that there are some established principles in the Curriculum and in
the Teacher Book which permeate the Student Book, as seen in the identified
perspectives of students of English learning based on grammar, the team work
positive consideration, and their collaborative role for colleagues learning. In other
hand, some other perspectives showed that there are divergences between the
orientation inside the Curriculum and Teacher Book and the manner how the
exercises are presented in the Student Book and worked in classroom, such as the
lack of activities of speaking and listening or that is only possible to learn the idiom by
means of training and repetitions, as perceived by the students / Esta pesquisa está inserida na área da Linguística Aplicada e tem por objetivo
investigar as perspectivas do aluno de uma escola pública em relação ao trabalho
com os exercícios de língua inglesa propostos no Caderno do Aluno da Secretaria
da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (3° ano do Ensino Médio - volume 3). Os tipos
de exercícios abordados neste estudo centram-se na gramática, que está inserida
na concepção de linguagem, e no trabalho em equipe. O contexto educacional
compreendido se baseia no Currículo de Língua Estrangeira Moderna, Inglês, do
Estado de São Paulo (SÃO PAULO, 2010), e tem como aportes o Caderno do Aluno
(SÃO PAULO, 2009a) e o Caderno do Professor (SÃO PAULO, 2009b). O eixo
teórico adotado se fundamenta principalmente em Vigotski (1934/1991; 1934/2008)
e sua visão Sócio-Histórico-Cultural. Em complemento, recorre-se a Koch (2003),
Travaglia (1995/2005), Larsen-Freeman (2003) e Celce-Murcia (2008) em se
tratando de linguagem e gramática; e a Magalhães (2009) para abordar o trabalho
em equipe. Metodologicamente, esta pesquisa se enquadra num estudo de caso
(STAKE, 1995; YIN, 2001) de cunho qualitativo interpretativista, que se utiliza de
questionário (NUNAN, 1992) e de entrevista (RUBIN & RUBIN, 2005) como
instrumentos de coleta de dados. Foram identificadas dez diferentes perspectivas
dos alunos em relação à aprendizagem de inglês neste contexto de pesquisa. Os
resultados da análise mostraram que há alguns princípios estabelecidos no Currículo
e no Caderno do Professor que permeiam as atividades do Caderno do Aluno,
conforme se verifica nas perspectivas dos alunos identificadas: de que se aprende
inglês com as atividades de gramática, de que consideram positivo o trabalho em
equipe, e de que eles contribuem para a aprendizagem de seus colegas. Por outro
lado, algumas outras perspectivas apontam que há uma divergência entre as
orientações que estão no Currículo e no Caderno do Professor e a maneira como os
exercícios são apresentados no Caderno do Aluno e trabalhados em sala de aula,
como a de que os alunos sentem falta de atividades que contemplem as habilidades
de speaking (falar) e listening (escutar), ou de que só é possível aprender o
idioma por meio de treinos e repetições

Porovnání učebnic angličtiny a němčiny pro 2. stupeň ZŠ z pohledu slovní zásoby / Comparison of textbooks of English and German for lower secondary schools from the point of view of vocabuary teachingPAREISOVÁ, Karolína January 2018 (has links)
The Diploma Thesis deals with the comparison of English and German textbooks for lower secondary schools from the perspective of vocabulary. The aim of the theoretical part of this Diploma Thesis is to make the readers familiar with the theoretical concepts which deal with the vocabulary teaching and serve as the theoretical source for the processing of the practical part. The aim of the practical part is the analysis of given textbooks for teaching English and German languages at the lower secondary schools. The analysis is not going to be done only on the basis of the theoretical findings, but also on the basis of criteria, which will be determined in the introduction of the practical part. The textbooks are going to be analysed from the perspective of vocabulary at first and then mutually compared.

Teaching English in the Global Age: Cultural ConversationsColarusso, Dana Mafalda 25 January 2010 (has links)
Globalization and English-language predominance situate English teachers as increasingly influential mediators of both language and culture. In the iconic multicultural hub of Ontario, Canada, teachers work within a causal nexus of social theories of language, the information and communication technologies revolution, and unprecedented global interdependency. Changes in English curriculum reflect these trends, from references to “global citizenship,” to stress on “intercultural communication,” “cultural sensitivity,” and Information and Communication Technology (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2007). Delegated gatekeepers of both linguistic and critical literacies, and facing new questions about the purposes and priorities of their discipline, Ontario English teachers must negotiate the divide between an inherited curriculum and the impacts of sociocultural transformation on changing literacy needs. To contribute to a professional dialogue about teaching English in a multicultural society and global age, this thesis presents findings from interviews with fifteen Ontario secondary English teachers. The focal question, “How is English changing?” introduces a range of pressing issues, such as: displacing the canon, practicing intercultural communication, balancing a democratic discourse, or “common culture,” with respect for diverse values, and managing opposing views and resistance to English curriculum change. The data reveal how English teachers across levels of experience occupy contrasting positions on the curriculum change debate. In part, this can be explained in terms of epistemological orientations. The participants represent three categories: Adaptation, Applied Research / Collaborative Inquiry, and Activism, each by turn more geared toward reconceptualizing English for social diversity and global consciousness. Beyond these classifications, the teachers reflect dissonant perceptions, sometimes personal ambivalence, on the changing role of text choice, and written and oral dialogue in the English classroom. From passionate defenses of Shakespeare, to radical measures to revamp book lists for cultural relevance, to remarkable illustrations of curriculum linked with global consciousness and civic action, the responses of the English teachers delineate zones of difficulty, change, and possibility. They help, too, to catch sight of a new horizon: the English classroom as a space for “cultural conversation” (Applebee, 1994) where canon- and teacher-centred dialogue give way to intertextual (Bakhtin, 1981; Kristeva, 1980) and intercultural (R. Young, 1996) transactions.

Postoje učitelů a žáků ve výuce angličtiny / Teachers' and pupils' attitudes in teaching and learning EnglishFOUKALOVÁ, Tereza January 2009 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with teachers´ and pupils´ attitudes in teaching English at elementary school. At first, the theoretical part focuses on explanations of main notions related with this theme, on attitudes forming between pupils and teachers in school background and on factors influencing their common interaction. Next, it devotes to the status of English as a foreign language not only in worldwide basis but also within school curriculum at elementary schools. The practical part tries to find out what language attitudes of the chosen pupils there are in teaching English. Principally, it focuses on the attitude towards English as a foreign language, the English lesson, particular activities in English lessons, towards the teacher and it also finds out the pupils´ reasons for learning English.

Teaching English Literature : A Qualitative Questionnaire and Content Analysis of Swedish Upper Secondary English Teachers’ Reading and Teaching Choices Analyzed Through Literary Socialization and Reception Theory / Litteraturundervisning i engelskan : En kvalitativ enkät- och innehållsanalys av svenska engelsklärares läs- och undervisningsval på gymnasiet analyserade genom litterär socialisations- och receptionsteoriZeidan, Lejla January 2023 (has links)
The aim of this study is to investigate Swedish upper secondary school teachers’ statements regarding reading and teaching choices in the English courses. The methods used were a survey in the form of a qualitative questionnaire, and a qualitative content analysis which was then applied to the survey data gathered. Reception theory and literary socialization theory were applied to the results. The four main research questions were: 1. What English literature do teachers in Swedish college preparatory programs choose for their students? 2. What English literature do teachers in Swedish vocational programs choose for their students? 3. What aspects of reception theory and literary socialization theory correspond to the teachers’ questionnaire answers regarding what skills they wish their students to acquire from reading English literature? 4. What are teachers’ attitudes towards students reading books of cultural, historical, and literary significance? The results concluded that there was no significant difference in the types of books chosen for the two programs. The college preparatory programs read a little more classical fiction, but the vocational courses did not lag far behind. When it came to the theories, a majority of teachers mentioned aspects brought up within literary socialization theory, while reception theory was barely touched upon. Books of literary, cultural, and historical significance were expected to be read in both the college preparatory and vocational programs. However, students in the college preparatory programs were expected to read these books slightly more than students in the vocational programs. One suggestion for future research is to examine the number of books teachers read within or outside of their preferred genre and how choice of genre may affect their literacy teaching in the classroom. / Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka svenska gymnasielärares läs- och undervisningsval i engelskundervisningen. Metoderna som användes var en enkätundersökning i form av ett kvalitativt frågeformulär och en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som sedan tillämpades på den insamlade enkätdatan. Receptionsteori och litterär socialisationsteori tillämpades på resultatet. De fyra huvudsakliga forskningsfrågorna var: 1. Vilken engelsk litteratur väljer lärare för elever på svenska högskoleförberedande program? 2. Vilken engelsk litteratur väljer lärare för elever på svenska yrkesprogram? 3. Vilka aspekter av receptionsteorin och litterär socialisationsteori stämmer överens med lärarnas enkätsvar om vilka färdigheter de önskar att deras elever ska förvärva genom att läsa engelsk litteratur? 4. Vilka är lärarnas attityder till att eleverna läser böcker av kulturell, historisk och litterär betydelse? Genom resultaten drogs slutsatsen att det inte fanns någon större skillnad i de typer av böcker som valdes för högskoleförberedande gentemot yrkesprogram. De högskoleförberedande programmen läste i ringa mängd mer klassisk skönlitteratur, men yrkesprogrammen hamnade inte långt efter. När det gällde teorierna nämnde majoriteten av lärarna aspekter som togs upp inom den litterära socialisationsteorin, medan aspekter inom receptionsteorin knappt berördes.Böcker av litterär, kulturell och historisk betydelse förväntades bli lästa i både de högskoleförberedande programmen och yrkesprogrammen. De högskoleförberedande programmen förväntades dock läsa dessa böcker i något större utsträckning än yrkesprogrammen. Ett förslag till framtida forskning är att undersöka hur många böcker lärare läser inom eller utanför den genre de föredrar och hur vald genreläsning kan påverka deras läs- och skrivundervisning (litteracitet) i klassrummet.
