Research<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From research to practical solutions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

AliceAI Learning is developed alongside Finnish doctoral research. Research findings are used to develop the pedagogy, the learning content and the features of the service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Doctoral research on the professional language proficiency of international nurses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional language proficiency at work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The doctoral research examines how the professional language proficiency of international nurses develops in Finnish healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research focuses on the importance of the workplace community and a sense of belonging for language learning, as well as the role of digital support in workplace learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to produce knowledge about the kind of support that can help a nurse use Finnish more confidently in their own work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pedagogical approach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Language is learned by participating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our pedagogical approach is based on an ecological view of language learning. According to this view, language skills develop through interaction with others and participation in everyday workplace activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not need a perfect command of professional language before entering working life. Language skills develop gradually through work and interaction. Digital support lets you practice safely in advance, without social pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Belonging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A sense of belonging in the workplace supports learning. When professionals can take part in conversations and workplace activities, they have more opportunities to use and develop their language skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Agency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Language learning is strengthened when professionals feel confident enough to ask questions, speak and share their expertise, even while their language skills are still developing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Participation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A language is learned by using it in real situations. Participation is not only the outcome of learning but also one of the central ways professional language proficiency develops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We use what we learn from research and pilots to develop the practice, the learning content and the solution itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The researcher behind AliceAI Learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne-Mari Pitk\u00e4nen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AliceAI Learning's pedagogy is led by Anne-Mari Pitk\u00e4nen, a doctoral researcher at the University of Eastern Finland, who studies how the professional language proficiency of international nurses is built through participation in work in Finnish healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In developing the AliceAI Learning solution she draws on what her doctoral research and earlier evidence reveal about language learning at work, about participation, and about what digital support can offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Interested in research and development collaboration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are looking to partner with healthcare organizations that want to strengthen international nurses' professional language skills, sense of belonging in the workplace and participation in everyday workplace activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration can mean, for example, pilots in work units, developing everyday ways of working, or taking part in impact research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
