The purpose of this research is to examine the specialized educational process of juvenile protection education institutions and to present measures from an educational demand aspect to prevent juvenile delinquency. If traditional reform education focused on removing the causes of delinquency, the current specialized education does not remove causes but nurtures strength to overcome that cause. Therefore, better means to achieve the goals of specialized education are presented below. First, in order to achieve the goals of specialized education, factors that suppress delinquency must be increased through reinspection of currently taught practical English conversation as a course, strengthening of human character through psychological treatment and training and structured education of guardians. Second, in order to adapt juveniles into society after completion of specialized education, an efficient and supportive network must be established by using teachers from juvenile protection educational institutions and volunteers and by integrating national juvenile delinquency-related institutions and social institutions while reviewing the current probation system. Third, for more substantial specialized education, the demands of those being educated should be analyzed and reflected in the educational process. The awareness of the educators should be raised and professional ability should be nurtured.

This study analyzed English words that are used in the middle school English text books of the 6th and the 7th National Curriculum in Korea. For this analysis, an English corpus of a total of 1,230,023 nodes was built out of 63 English textbooks of the 6th and the 7th National Curriculum. The study specifically investigated the following items for analysis: 1) tokens and types of words used in the middle school textbooks, 2) frequency of the words, and the numbers of new words introduced in each school-year, 3) high-frequency words in the textbooks with reference to those in large-scale general English corpora, 4) parts of speech of the words and their frequencies, and 5) the comparison of the words used in reading parts and listening parts. Analysis of the corpus revealed the following results. Regarding the average number of tokens and types, the textbooks based on the 7th Curriculum contain more than those based on the 6th Curriculum. As for the frequency of the repetition of words, the 6th curriculum textbooks are more than the 7th curriculum textbooks. Comparison of vocabularies used in the text corpus and in general large-scale English corpus shows that there are more similarities than differences.

This paper is on the design of foundations for English curriculum on the basis of discipline centered curriculum to give academic and pedagogic platforms for curriculum development. For these purposes, this study finds theoretical and pedagogic elements, and inquiries into their natures and relationships. Theoretical foundations should reflect both general education theories and the features of the subject such as English. These foundations can include linguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, which interact in both academic and pedagogic contexts. Specifically, linguistics (the nature of language) has some features such as expressiveness, productiveness, semantics, commonness and regularity. The theories of psycholinguistics can be grouped into behaviorism, cognitivism and humanism. Sociolinguistics focuses on key elements such as the language user as a social being, variations of language, social context and social use of language. The pedagogic elements such as content system, learning elements and social context which directly come from the theoretical elements also interact each other indirectly.

The present study aimed to investigate some differences in journal article abstracts written in English by Korean researchers and international scholars and to provide Korean researchers with guidelines for writing accurate, self-contained, informative and coherent abstracts. To this end, intra- and inter-lingual analyses of English abstracts were carried out in terms of rhetorical structures, linguistic features, and disciplinary areas. The results reveal that (1) international and Korean researchers show some differences of rhetorical and discourse features in their English abstracts and (2) some types of errors in terms of grammatical-syntactic and lexico-semantic aspects are frequently committed by Korean researchers. The results of this investigation suggest that Korean researchers should be aware of common rhetorical structures and linguistic features of English abstracts and graduate students should be provided with EAP courses to practice writing English abstracts relevant to their major areas.

This paper aims to make some suggestions for the direction and objectives of teaching English as a global language (EGL). To this end, the examination reveals that the number of people who use English as a second or foreign language is much more than that of people who use English as the primary language. Moreover, in many parts of the world the status of English is shifting, being used within the country as well as for international communication. Thus, it will be more likely for the learners to communicate in English with other people than English natives. Communication across cultures demands mutual intelligibility and speaker’s identities. The objective of EGL is to provide intercultural learners with intercultural communicative competence, which is a knowledge of one or more cultures and social identities, and which is also a capacity to discover and relate to new people from other contexts for which they have not been prepared directly. Teaching English as a global language will be effective and prosperous under due consideration of local situations around learners. Several ideas are suggested for the new direction for EGL education.

The purposes of this study are to analyse operating systems of inmate's vocational education and training program and to suggest more effective methods in improving quality of vocational education and training.

Current education and training program are analysed from the viewpoints of curriculum, operating body, selection method of trainee and evaluation process. To improve quality of education and training, curricula need to be diversified and specialized. The correctional education should be recognized as a progressive and effective education system that provides inmates with socially acceptable skills and transferrable to the society. In addition, ways to establish in connecting various training organizations, in selecting trainees, in developing teaching methods are suggested. The importance of developing evaluation tools and employment services and institutional repletion are emphasized and new details are suggested.

We cannot imagine textbooks without visual images in foreign language education. What are their roles and fuctions in language teaching? Are they simple decorations for just visual effects? Or are they presented to facilitate listening and reading comprehesion? To answer to these questions, this study is designed to analyse the relations between visual images and texts in language teaching materials based on communicative approach, and to argue that visual images are means of conveying their own autonomous meanings.

This paper investigates the status and change of qualitative research in TEFL and applied linguistics in an effort to project the direction of TEFL research in Korea. This paper first reviews a first and a second coming of age of the research in TESOL and applied linguistics, focusing on qualitative research methodology. For the study, the issues on a definition of qualitative research are raised, and three exemplars such as case study, conversation analysis, and ethnography are discussed in terms of assumptions, methods, data analysis and interpretation, and evaluative criteria. The importance and directions of qualitative research studies in TEFL in Korea are also suggested.

This short essay is a slightly modified version of a presentation read at the annual Institute seminar held at SNU on the 5th of December to exchange views on the function of reading in foreign language education in Korea. It begins with the discussion of a need on the paπ of policy makers of English teaching to reassess and revise the dominantly pragmatic and instrumentalist philosophy particularly working in the pedagogy of reading in English. According to the revisionist review of the present writer, the guiding spirit of the 4-skill orientation has so far tended to overvalue the linguistic and communicative functions (or ’grammar’ as is termed here to contrast with the 'text’ that follows) at the cost of the human or readerly values carried by signifying textuality of the reading material. Language should and is fated to reflect and realize the lived experience of concrete and individualized people and society. English is a natural and cultural language that embraces a11 these cultural resourcefulness and expressiveness before it is a foreign language. Strategies of reading pedagogy ought to reflect this fundamental as well as human or value-oriented aspect of language despite the limited level of the language on the part of its leamers.

According to the statistical data by the Ministry of Statistics, human trade affairs have been minimally increasing at most. At present, foreign languages (except for ]apanese and Chinese) are at stake. In order to avoid these risky situations, it is urgent to understand and examine the requirement of the current Korean society. It would be more desirable and effective to cultivate written communication skills rather than oral communication skills in case of the context in which there are rare chances to encounter native speakers of the target language. In this regard, this study suggests that instruction of written language (reading-writing) should be weighed more in foreign language classrooms.
