The purpose of this study was to examine the language and culture of infectious diseases in Korean society through related expressions. Accordingly, four kinds of Korean dictionaries were investigated, and the results were examined by dividing relevant expressions into epidemic-related vocabularies and infectious disease-related case statements. First, examination of epidemic-related vocabulary found that most names of infectious diseases were expressed using Chinese characters and English loanwords. Since each infectious disease name has several synonyms, Koreans have referred to major infectious diseases by a variety of names. The names of infectious diseases were mainly reflect such information as the causes, routes of transmission, and symptoms of infection, as well as attitudes toward how to deal with the diseases. Second, the examination of case statements related to infectious diseases showed that the disease with the most example sentences was COVID-19, which recently started and has not yet ended. Case statements related to infectious diseases can be broadly divided into four categories: the designation of infectious diseases, fear of infectious diseases, patients with infectious diseases, and places of infection. In addition, we found we found that patients with infectious diseases and places of infection generated negative perceptions and expressions.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using films on students’ reading comprehension and attitude toward their English study in the context of a college English class. Specifically, it attempted to examine how a film-based English reading class affected students’ reading comprehension and attitudes toward their study, and how they recognized the film-based English reading class. Thirty-one college students were asked to take pre- and post-tests in English reading, and to respond pre- and post-questionnaires regarding their affective domain, and a focus group of four students was voluntarily interviewed with one of two researchers. Quantitatively, a paired t-test was employed to compare the statistical means from those two samples, and qualitatively, the framework developed by Miles and Huberman (1994) was adopted to describe the major phases of data analysis. The results of data analysis indicated that 1) Using films in the college English reading was helpful for students to comprehend the given text, and to understand other cultures; 2) Also this film-based reading class optimally contributed to the affective domain such as students’ attitudes, interests, and confidence levels. Based on these results, pedagogical implications for effective English reading classes were suggested.

This study adopts the viewpoint that understanding linguistic aspects of different groups is efficient to promote a person's world view, which leads to increasing intercultural sensitivity(IS). The first goal is to examine the IS of the entire participants who experienced different languages. The second goal is to examine the difference in IS according to students' linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This study collected and analyzed quantitative and qualitative data through surveys at a school accepting diverse languages. As a result, first, the overall IS of the participants turned out to be in the Adaptation phase(AP) indicating ethnorelative world views. Second, multicultural family students(MS) were found to have higher IS compared to general students and to face solving communication issues with students of different backgrounds in the AP. General students are first found to have some issues left in the Minimization phase they need to solve, but an indepth analysis has shown that they are also in the AP since they face solving the similar issues to MS. This study, finally, puts forward some suggestions on dealing with multicultural languages.

During the last decade, an increasing number of immigrants came to Korea mainly for getting jobs and following their spouses, and the Korean government attempted to introduce several policies and projects. Among those policies and projects, the bilingual teacher development program was launched for developing bilingual teachers to teach their cultures and languages to multicultural and general students as well. The purpose of this research was to find out what multicultural immigrant women who participated in a bilingual teacher development program wanted to obtain from the program, and possibly to suggest aiming at developing a teacher training program for the future. Twelve pre-service bilingual teachers who were being trained in bilingual teacher development program participated in the pre- and post-questionnaire surveys. The results of the study are as follows. First, 12 pre-service bilingual teachers fully understood their roles as bilingual teachers and they think they are prepared to carry out those roles through the training program and the practicum. However, after the practicum they recognized they need to deepen their knowledge on child psychology, counseling and material development. Next, the pre-service teachers were satisfied with the training program and the courses they took in the program would be helpful to work as a bilingual teacher. However, they demand more practicum in the training curriculum. Some suggestions are made for improving the current system of practicum in the bilingual teacher training curriculum.

본 연구에서는 다문화 정책 및 제도가 어떤 필요성에 의해 만들어지고, 그 형성되어진 과정이 어떻게 되는지, 시행되는 정책들은 과연 현장에서 수요자 중심의 실용성과 효과성이 있는지에 대한 분석을 하고 자 한다. 이중언어교육은 매우리보다 먼저 다문화사회에 진입하여 많은 시행착오를 겪은 프랑스와 우리와 비슷한 시기에 다문화사 회로 진입하여 다문화정책 추진하고 있는 일본의 다문화정책 및 제도의 사례를 찾아 비교 분석하여 미래 적 지향적인 정책을 제언하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 다문화교육 정책 중 중점으로 살펴 볼 정 책은 이중언어교육정책이다. 이중언어교육은 매년 증가하고 있는 다문화가정 학생들이 학교생활의 적응과 학업성취, 그리고 이들이 성장하여 사회구성원으로 그 역할을 다할 수 있는 기본이 되는 정책이다. 현재 우리나라는 이중언어교육 을 위해 이중언어강사 양성하여 지원하고 있다. 우리나라의 다문화교육정책은 학교 안에서 이루어지는 것 보다는 학교 밖에서 시행되는 경우가 많다. 이에 비해 프랑스는 학교 안의 정규교과 과정에서 다문화교육 정책이 시행되고 있으며, 일본의 경우는 지방자치 단체와 학교 안에서 다문화교육정책이 시행되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 정책 실현을 위해 법안을 마련하고 정책의 기본 방향과 세부사항을 중앙정부에서 주관하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이중언어교육 정책이 마련된 것은 누구를 위한 것인지에 대한 필요성과 정책의 형성과정, 정책의 실용 성과 효과성을 위해 우리나라의 이중언어교육 또한 교육을 주관하는 학교라는 기관을 통해서 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위해서는 정책 수립 전에 다양한 인적구성원들에게 필요성에 관해 많은 논증과 함께 검증 단 계의 형성과정을 거쳐야 한다. 또한 정책의 실용성과 효과성을 위해 기존 정책에 관한 성찰 과정이 반드 시 필요하겠다.

Han, Song-Hwa. 2015. “The Language usage and Sociocultural image of Korea in 1960’s Korean language textbooks for foreign learners”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 23(1). 201~238. The purpose of this study is to describe the sociocultural reflection and language usage in 1960’s Korean textbooks for Korean learners as a foreign language. 1960’s is period of starting for modern Korean language education formally. The Korean textbooks in 1960’s based on audio-lingual method and focused on drills and repetitive practices. Their conversation consisted on vocabularies and grammar which are required in everyday situation. Therefore sociocultural image of those days are shown on vocabularies and conversations explicitly or implicitly. For exploring 1960’s Korean image in textbooks, I composed the corpus and investigated the frequency of use. Many vocabularies correlated with situations of those days that differed from recent Korean language textbooks. And many vocabularies underwent a change semantically. Lastly, Korean’s perception of West and Korea, the growth of Korean cities, economic difficulties and confucian thinking were shown on conversations in 1960’s Korean textbooks.

Son Hui-Youn 2014. The Meaning of Conversation as a Socio-cognitive Process of the Second Language Acquisition: Analyzing conversation type of microgenesis in the Sociocultural theory's point of view. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 22(1). This study aims to identify conversational phenomenon that shows socio-cognitive process of the second language acquisition. To this end, this study investigated major concepts in the ‘sociocultural theory’s point of view and descriptive methodology based on the ‘conversational analysis'. The analysis data of this study was transcribed by observing the conversations generated in the situation where four Korean language learners from Mongol performing story-making and, interview. Based on this analysis data, this study caught conversational scenes that show the second language development as ‘microgenesis’ phenomena and tried to find the theories of acquisition and conversation organization involved in these conversational scenes. As results of analysis, firstly, this study could see clinical conversation types of microgenetic development generated to complete story-making; secondly, this study could observe cooperative conversational phenomena of microgenetic development accompanied by conversational phenomena such as repair or metaenonciation during the course of interview.

Kang Mi-young and Lee Bolami. 2013. A Study on the Strategy of Approach for Language Policy from the Perspective of Interculturalism: Focus on the Projects of Korean Language Spread Policy Overseas. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 21(3). The purpose of this paper is to consider possible strategies for spreading the Korean Language overseas based on ‘Interculturalism’. Firstly, this paper tries to determine the meaning of Language policy based on ‘Interculturalism’ by discussing several philosophical theories on intercultural relationships: Cultural pluralism, Multiculturalism, Intercultural (Education) and Cultural relativism among others. From these theories, this paper elicits two basic premises into the strategy for realization of interculturalism: (1) interaction based on the equal rights and (2) recognition of the unique and inherent value of individual culture. These premises can be enforced by maximizing free choice volition of recipient of the culture (including Korean as a foreign language or second language). This paper expects a mature Korean language spread policy based on interculturalism - which prefers intercultural relationship to education efficiency - to King Sejong Institute and Nuri-King Sejong Institute which are well known as an offline and online institution respectively, for teaching and promoting Korean language and culture to people who want to learn Korean as a foreign language or second language.

본 연구는 온·오프라인 언어순화 프로그램의 실천을 통해 학생들의 올바른 언어사용습관을 길러줌과 동시에 상호 소통하며 서로를 배려하는 어울림 학급 문화를 조성하기 위한 연구이며 구체적인 목적은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 올바른 언어사용습관 형성을 돕는 소통과 배려의 학급 문화를 조성한다. 둘째, 학생들의 언어생활을 지키기 위한 다양한 체험활동을 계획하고 온·오프라인 언어순화 프로그램을 구안·적용하여 학생들의 올바른 언어사용습관을 기른다. 셋째, 온·오프라인 언어순화 프로그램이 소통과 배려의 어울림 학급 문화 만들기에 미치는 효과를 검증한다.본 연구의 실천 효과를 알아보기 위하여 본교 2학년 15반 학생 41명에게 동일한 설문내용인 사전설문(3월)과 사후설문(10월)에 응답한 결과에 대해 빈도분석을 하였다. 설문분석 결과 사전·사후 유의미한 차이가 있었으며, 사후 향상되어 나타났다. 따라서 온·오프라인 언어순화 프로그램이 소통과 배려의 어울림 학급 문화 조성에 긍정적인 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다. 학생들을 통해 얻게 된 결론을 정리해서 살펴보면 다음의 내용과 같다. 첫째, 생활 속에 필요한 대화의 기술을 배워 소통 능력이 신장될 수 있었으며, 언어가 곧 자신의 인격이라는 것과 사용하는 언어에는 그만큼의 책임이 뒤따른다는 것을 제대로 인식하게 되었다. 둘째, 통신매체에서 실제로 사용되고 있는 사례들을 토대로, 통신언어가 어떠한 특징을 가지고 있으며, 어떤 형태로 우리말을 훼손하고 있는지를 파악할 수 있었다. 그리고 이로 인해 자신들이 무비판적으로 사용해온 통신언어의 문제점을 바로 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 세계가 인정한 한글의 우수성, 과학성 그리고 독창성을 깨닫고, 그러한 한글을 올바로 사용하고 세계적인 문자로 발전시켜 나가야 함을 인식하게 되었으며 우리 문자에 대한 자긍심을 지니게 되었다. 마지막으로, 온·오프라인 언어순화 프로그램은 학생들의 올바른 언어사용습관을 형성하고 소통하며 배려하는 어울림 학급 문화 만들기에 긍정적인 효과가 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze needs of bilingual education for children of multicultural families, specially the bilingual classes performed by multicultural family support centers in Korea. Following a brief overview of the meaning and goals of bilingual education, the present study provides the results of the survey that was conducted on 45 program managers, 55 teachers, and 114 mothers of multicultural children who take bilingual classes. The results indicate that the current status of the bilingual programs reflects that of multicultural families in Korea. For example, the number of Korean-Chinese bilingual programs is the biggest one as that of immigrant women through marriage from China. The findings from this research tell us that the programs play efficient roles for improving the bilingual abilities of multicultural children although there remain many problems in terms of systematized curricula, interesting materials, and teacher training. Most of respondents (managers and teachers) say that they need to have standard teachers' manuals and workbooks for better educational services. The results of the analysis also show that it is urgent and important to enrich the substance of teacher training programs for enhancement of bilingual teachers' qualification.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate text comprehension from a sociocultural perspective and then, to find out more about the ways in which L2 readers comprehend and recall L2 texts. While many analyses of written recall protocols focus on propositional contents or an analysis of syntactic error, Sociocultural Theory provides us with an additional analytic tool: the linguistic properties of the recall protocols. This follows from Vygotsky's fundamental argument that speech, in addition to its communicative function, bears a cognitive, self-oriented function and thus, is used to plan and carry out mental activity. In this paper, we undertake an analysis of the written recall protocals produced by high-school learners of English as a foreign language. We argue that when faced with cognitively difficult situations, L2 readers often externalize their inner order as private writing in order to attain and maintain control of their mental activity in the task of reading and recall. In fact, the linguistic features of the written recall protocols reflect the underlying mental processes which L2 readers deploy in problem-solving situations.

Kim, Jeong-Eun. 2004. Modern Culture in Advertisement Language. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea, 12(1). From January 2001 to July 2003, I conducted a study examining and categorizing advertisement language into seven different types: those representing rejection of prejudices and discriminations, family culture (emphasizing the importance of the family), aristocratic culture, 'upstart' culture, trends of sexually merchandising women, new life styles of the young generation, and Westernized culture. Both changes in and preservation of traditional culture were observed in the analysis of the seven types of advertizement language; both positive and negative points were found in the analysis. Advertisement language reflects not only the culture of the time and age but also leads, in advance, the attitude of people in that society. Therefore advertisement media and agencies should assume responsibility and play the leading role so that they could help build a more sound and healthy society.
