Inevitably, Korean-Americans have had to suffer an ethnic identity crisis in living between Korean culture and American culture. Sometimes they ask themselves “Who am I? Where do I belong in between Korean society and American society? Am I a Korean or an American?” This is the Korean-American’s trouble and wrestling for ego synthesis in the middle of the American culture. There are bigger gaps between assimilated children and parents who are not readily assimilated into American culture. The author is very concerned about the outlook for the future of the Korean-American family situation, especially in the generation gap problem. As a possible answer to this circumstance, the author researches the missiological importance of Korean-American’s identity education through the use of the Jewish model, who successfully maintains their own identity despite their long periods of Diaspora history. In section 1, the author deals with the nations which have survived and will survive in the future, especially concentrating on Arnold Toynbee’s theory about challenge and response, and the three essences of the collapse of civilization. Another main focus of this section is Jewish education as an important identity keeping tool. In section 2, the author discusses the Jewish and the Korean-American in the viewpoint of assimilation models, especially based on the Gordon, Won-mu Hurh, and Kitano’s analysis about assimilation. In comparison with Piaget’s external assimilation and internal accommodation, Gordon’s social structural assimilation theory is applied to the Jewish model as a good model of the Korean-American’s identity education method, and Gordon’s cultural assimilation theory is applied to the African-American model. Won-mu Hurh’s four models are mentioned in this section. Kitano’s four cells also are dealt with in this section. In section 3, the author deals with Yong-soo Hyun’s vertical culture and horizontal culture as a good answer to the Korean-American's identity question. In section 4, the author handles the role of parents as important teachers of their children. In section 5, the author deals with the role of the Korean immigrant church as an important place of the Korean-American’s identity education. In all sections, the author compares the Jewish model with the Korean-American situation.

The present study investigated the relationships between acculturation and English learning among Korean students at an American university. A survey was conducted with 115 students whose first language is Korean. Data was collected through an acculturation questionnaire, self perceived Korean and English proficiency questionnaire and background questionnaire. ANOVA, Post Hoc Tests, Group comparison and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The majority of students in the survey chose bicultural adaptation as their strategy for acculturation and did not lose Korean cultural identity although some of them exhibited linguistic assimilation. In the four group comparisons based on acculturation types, students in a high bicultural tendency group reported the greater level of English proficiency. The results of multiple regression showed that students’ age of arrival in the U.S, their level of American acculturation, and gender (male), were important predictors of their English proficiency. Different from the assimilation theory in second language acquisition both integration into American society and positive acceptance of Korean culture and identity seemed to be important processes for their achievement of successful English learning as well as for their successful acculturation. In conclusion, the pedagogical implication of the finding and future research were suggested.

본 연구는 최초투자와 후속투자는 그 전략적 동기나 결정요인 그리고 투자행태 등이 크게 다름에도 불구하고 지금까지의 연구들이 이를 구분하지 않고 일괄적으로 취급해 왔다는 점에 착안하여, 이론적인 측면에서 후속투자의 개념과 선행 이론 및 실증연구를 체계화하여 정리하고, 실증적인 측면에서 우리나라의 92개 해외진출 전자기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 이를 기초로 후속투자의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과, 기초통계적인 측면에서 대기업이 중소기업보다 후속투자를 더 많이 수행하고 있다는 점이 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 보였으나 개발도상국과 선진국간에는 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 다음으로 로짓분석 및 회귀분석 결과, 우리나라 전자기업의 후속투자에는 기업의 규모, 자산의 특유성, 지식집약도, 문화적 거리, 해외투자 위험, 현지국에 대한 투자경험 등이 통계적으로 유의한 결정요인으로 밝혀지고 있다. 즉 기업의 규모가 클수록, 자산의 특유성 및 지식집약도가 높을수록, 그리고 문화적 거리와 해외투자 위험이 낮을수록 후속투자 가능성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 아울어 현지국에 대한 투자경험도 후속투자를 촉진시키는 중요한 결정요인으로 작용하고 있음이 밝혀지고 있다. 후속투자에 관한 이러한 연구 및 실증분석 결과는 우리나라 전자기업의 최초투자 및 후속투자전략 수립에 여러가지 전략적 시사점을 제공해줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 지금까지 최초투자와 후속투자를 구분하지 않고 일괄적으로 이루어졌던 해외투자 결정요인에 관한 선행 이론연구 및 실증연구를 이론적·실증적인 측면에서 크게 보완해 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to compare farrowing rate and litter traits for European and American lines with boar sperm frozen in straws. Farrowing rate, litter size and mean pig weght at birth and 21 days were investigated. A total of 36 gilts Landrace, Large white and Duroc were investigated at the Chungnam Provincial Animal Breeding Station. We obtained higher farrowing rate and litter traits for European line boars compared to American line boars.
