• The axial part phrase in Japanese 

      Takamine, Kaori (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006)
      In this paper, I investigate the categorial status of spatial terms in locative/directional expressions in Japanese. I will show that a certain class of spatial terms have a distinct categorial status from both regular postpositions and nouns. On one hand, syntactic diagnostics such as doubling, coordination by to, and co-occurrence with demonstratives indicate that these spatial terms belong to a ...
    • Developing formative peer assessment in writing classes: focus on students’ perceptions 

      Takamine, Kaori (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-03)
      The literature of higher education has shown that formative peer assessment (FPA) promotes students’ learning across disciplines (Topping, 1998, Lynch et al. 2012, Li et al. 2019, among others). Despite the solid reported benefits, studies on an effective implementation of FPA are still limited in the literature (Nicol, Thomson, and Breslin 2014, Wanner and Palmer, 2018). A debilitating factor ...

    • Interactive teaching in an international preparatory language program; promoting some of the 21st century skills 

      Takamine, Kaori; Eilertsen, Randi; Holbø, Marianne; Dybdahl, Tone Harr (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022-10)
      As the globalization has intensified, the future of engineering education may require its students to enhance the 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills (Riemer 2007, Gradin and Hirleman, 2009). In harmony with this, preparatory language programs for engineering studies must adopt educational methods that help students to cultivate such key skills. ...
    • The postpositional hierarchy and its mapping to clause structure in Japanese 

      Takamine, Kaori (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-03-19)
      It can be observed that the relative order of modifier PPs in Japanese is free. Given that the word order in Japanese can be rearranged by scrambling, two questions arise with regard to the word order of modifiers. Is the word order of these modifiers constrained underlyingly? And how are the modifier PPs introduced into a clause structure? A possible answer is a traditional approach under which the ...
    • Resultative predicates in Japanese 

      Takamine, Kaori (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2007)
      Washio (1997; 1999) observes that resultative predicates are divided into two different groups, strong and weak resultatives, depending on ‘patienthood’ of the object. This typology of resultatives seems to capture a point of crosslinguistic variation in resultatives; Japanese has weak but not strong resultatives, while English has both. Washio also observes that there is another group of examples ...
    • Supporting students to prepare for higher education studies: Enhancing English writing skills with formative peer assessment 

      Takamine, Kaori (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022-10)
      Studies report that writing skills of many beginner students in Norwegian higher education institutions are not adequately developed, showing a lack of critical thinking and referencing technique and a poor requisite language ability (Lødding and Aamodt 2015, Wollcheid et al. 2020). Literature also shows that a traditional lecture setting does not help students to enhance their learning autonomy ...
