Huge congrats to ILFACT project researcher Saara Naapila for securing a 4-year funding for her PhD project "Language anxiety and speech fluency among multilingual speakers in Finland"! 🥳 #FlowLangGroup @utu.fi @koneensaatio.fi koneensaatio.fi/apurahat-ja-...
If you prefer reading a more concise version of what this study was all about and what we discovered, check out our 1-page OASIS summary of it (open access of course)! www.oasis-database.org/details/mhmm... #FDF2 #FlowLangGroup
Happy to announce that our article (w/ Sandra Götz & @pekkalintunen.bsky.social) exploring L1 & L2 speech #fluency in monologue + dialogue is now out in SSLA (OA)! Part of the recently completed #FDF2 project (funded by the Research Council of Finland). #FlowLangGroup @utu.fi doi.org/10.1017/S027...
Finally, #FlowLangGroup member Maarit Mutta @maaritmutta.bsky.social presented our work combining data from #FDF2 and #KISUVI projects, to examine learners' written and spoken profiles in the L1 + L2 and their anxiety during these tasks. Thanks again to the audience! #EuroSLA34 @koneensaatio.fi
On Thursday, me & Clare Wright had the pleasure of presenting a new framework for studying fluency in interaction based on data from two projects (one of them being #FlowLangGroup #FDF2 that ended last year). Thanks to the audience for the discussion and feedback! #EuroSLA34

Spent last week at the University of Lleida in Spain, invited by my colleague Alexandra Vraciu. Had a wonderful time meeting students from the Faculty of Education, planning future collaborations & presenting #FlowLangGroup fluency research to the research group Cercle de Lingüística Aplicada (📷).
Had fun giving a presentation on my #fluency research at Young Academy Finland’s event earlier today. Learned a lot from the other presentations as well (and yes, I still take notes by hand)! #FlowLangGroup
Want to advertise my new project ”L2 Interactional Fluency across Contexts” (ILFACT; launched this September) a bit here as well, since our project researcher Elina Lehtilä made this beautiful illustration for it: sites.utu.fi/flowlang/pro... #FlowLangGroup
#FlowLangGroup publication news off the #MultiFluency project 🎉 Elina Lehtilä’s brilliant study on how L1 speaking style impacts L2/L3 #fluency assessments has just been published in Nordand! #OpenAccess, funded by the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland. doi.org/10.18261/nor...
