Implementing multilingual pedagogies in language classrooms should not be an individual responsibility, but something that language teachers across subjects can collaborate on to make happen. This article has now found a home in an issue of this journal! 🥳 Open access! doi.org/10.1080/0143...
NEW ARTICLE! 🥳👇Together with Camilla Spaliviero, who came to visit me three years ago, and our collaboration started. Now she's back as my MSCA postdoc and our joint work can continue!

Yes, terrible, and also far from justified in this case! The reviewer continued in the same vein, and in the end the ranting almost became funny—so the PhD could laugh and (hopefully soon) move on.
What makes reviewers use such a harsh tone? Do they have no regard for the feelings and hard work of the author(s)? Constructive feedback is always welcome, but not such destructive formulations.
Review just received by a fresh PhD ☹️: "This could have had potential if it weren't for the poor design, weak theoretical framing, inadequate literature review, unsound statistical testing, and superficial analysis. I recommend rejection, esp. since it isn't very original or insightful."
NEW ARTICLE! We investigated beliefs and practices concerning multiple language use among lower secondary language teachers in England, France and Norway. Practices were captured through video recordings, and beliefs were elicited through a questionnaire. doi.org/10.1080/0957...
Hard to believe it’s been 7 years since this book came out! 🎉 Still being read and cited worldwide – and it’s open access for everyone! doi.org/10.4324/9781...
wow, warm congratulations! I will certainly take a closer look at it. Thank you for sharing! 🙏
Open call for papers in the NJLTL! More info here: journal.uia.no/index.php/NJ...
Great! Your teacher knows how to do it! 👍
aha, tusen takk, Sara!!!
Which PhD is it??
Ideally, all language teachers would teach two or more languages!
NEW ARTICLE! As a previous teacher of three languages (Norw., English, German), I always saw these subjects as interconnected. But in my later research, I discovered that teachers normally never collaborate across languages. Until I found THIS ONE school! 🙏 doi.org/10.1080/1750...
Just started analysing the fascinating language portraits and life stories of our multilingual retirees in Norway and Japan. This is "Olivia". 😍
🥳Such a nice message I got today: "We are delighted to say that we would like to accept your paper, 'It’s about seeing the connections.' Exploring teacher collaboration across the school’s language subjects' for publication in Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching." 🥳
My two best tips for dealing with academic (and other) disappointments are 1. walking in nature and 2. laughing, preferably simultaneously! 😀
I'm sure we will. And I look forward to it! Schönes Wochenende!
Unfortunately not. But Edilic in Hamburg in July, perhaps??
Thank you, dear Enric. So true, the sun is not always shining, at least not in Bergen, the rainiest city in Europe! 😄 There's a lot to learn along the way, including helpful support from good people!
So true, dear Hannah! And thank you for your encouraging words. A bit of humour and a strong belief in the importance of our own ideas and projects keep us going!
THREE big rejections in one week: COST network, Vice Dean of Education job, and ERC application! 😌It stings, but good ideas don’t vanish that easily! Taking a breath, then trying again. 😊 #AcademicLife #KeepGoing
A one-week writing retreat in the north is balm for the soul.
Så bra, Sara! I hope it's useful.
Tusen takk, Karen!!!
YESSSSS! Our article is out and ready to be read by the whole world! 😀It's about how a teacher and teacher educator can collaborate in ways perceived as beneficial and sustainable for both. Open access! Link to the article: doi.org/10.1016/j.sy...
