The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of Korean language ability on the effect of marriage immigrants’ safety education attitude on safety awareness. A survey was conducted on marriage immigrants living in the Daejeon and Chungcheong regions, and the responses of 109 people were used for the analysis. After controlling for gender, nationality, age, educational background, period of stay, region of residence, and presence or absence of safety accidents, the analysis was performed according to the step-by-step approach of Baron and Kenny(1986). In order to verify the statistical significance of the mediating effect of Korean proficiency, the Sobel test was conducted. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that marriage immigrants’ safety education attitude had a significant positive (+) effect on safety awareness, and Korean language ability had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between marriage immigrants’ safety education attitude and safety awareness.

This study aims to analyze the aspect of coherence realization of narrative discourse of female marriage immigrants. Considering that discourse structure and cohesive devices are engaged in the coherence of discourse, this study attempts to examine the aspect of structure development of narrative discourse and the utilization of reference and conjunction. The participants in the study are intermediate and advanced-level female marriage immigrants. The analysis results of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) the female marriage immigrants selectively contained [abstract] and [evaluation] while essentially containing [setting], [complicating action], [resolution] when comprising narratives; the coherence of discourse was found to be disrupted due to insertion of extraneous contents, lack of information, excess of information, or delaying of the introduction utterances; (2) the use of cohesive devices was concentrated in a particular expression. Suggestions based on the findings of the study are provided.

Park, Eun-Ha. 2015. “Social Discrimination Factors in Korean Coursebooks: Focused on Korean Coursebooks for Female Marriage Immigrants, Immigrant Workers, and North Korean Refugees”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 23(1). 55~83. This study investigates and analyzes social discrimination factors occurring in Korean coursebooks that disfavor immigrant workers, female marriage immigrants, and North Korean refugees as minorities in Korea. Therefore we examine what kind of social discrimination factors high placed and how these are presented in both verbal and nonverbal expressions. With regard to verbal forms, we examine discriminatory expressions in sentences and conversations including vocabularies commonly used in Korean coursebooks. The result prove that of all other forms of social discrimination found in Korean coursebooks, instances of gender role stereotypes occur most frequently. The second most frequently verbal discriminatory expression found referred to gender personality and behavior, while the third most frequently used discriminatory expression referred to physical appearance and body image. Also revealed in the study was a high recurrence of referencing gender role stereotypes in Korean coursebooks for female marriage immigrants as found through comparing two particular coursebooks. Concerning nonverbal forms, we examine discriminatory expressions in main characters and illustrations. In three types of Korean coursebooks, we observe a high recurrence of gender-biases when discussing job positions. For examples, one coursebook referred to restaurant work as suited for women, while describing the position of doctor as male job. Korean coursebooks for immigrants further reveal discrimination in their descriptions of socioeconomic status as determining so-called higher citizenship status. In illustrations, gender-biases of job and gender role stereotypes were presented more frequently in three kinds of Korean coursebooks than in the other kinds.

Over 1.4 million foreigners live in South Korea now. The number of marriage-related immigrants is 125,673 and that of children of multicultural family is 107,689. These facts are brand new ones during the last five thousand year history of Korea. Such a change challenges Korean people and Christians to rethink respectively about their identity. This article aims at describing the current situation of immigrants, especially marriage-related immigrant women and multicultural family, identifying tasks for immigrant mission in Busan, Ulsan and Kyungsangnam-do and searching for the immigrant theology. Methodologies used in the article are: literature study, interview with specialists in immigrant mission, social biography of marriage-related immigrant women, missiology of encounter with other and Post-colonial Feminism. In Busan, the researcher chose four church/mission center/Christian NGOs participating in the immigrant mission in 2009. And he chose five mission centers/Christian NGOs participating in the immigrant mission in 2010. He interviewed with 31 members of multicultural families and with 9 specialists in the immigrant mission. Ninety-nine marriage-related immigrant women responded to the survey prepared by the researcher. The results of the social biography of multicultural family and the surveys of marriage-related immigrant women are: first of all, recovery of ‘normality’ of the multicultural family, for the family has been represented by the mass media as ‘abnormal’ one with family violence: secondly, Christian faith contributes for them to accommodate to Korean culture and to overcome conflicts between husband and wife of multicultural family: thirdly, the international marriage initiated by commercial agencies is blamed as money- exchange-marriage but the reality of such a family life is similar to that of a marriage arranged by a go-between: lastly, marriage-related immigrant women are faster learners of Korean language and culture than migrant workers. Tasks for immigrant mission are: to strengthen the multicultural family by overcoming cultural conflicts, to support for their children education, to establish multicultural faith community, to encourage marriage-related immigrant women to get a job, to suggest education programs for Korean Christians and Korean citizens, and to prevent from religious conflicts through peace education among religious groups.

본 연구의 목적은 결혼이민자 대상 한국어 온라인 수업 현황을 살펴보고 학습자들의 수업 만족도와 인식을 조사하여 앞 으로 교육 방안을 모색하는 데에 있다. 이를 위해 2년 동안 진행 된 다문화센터 한국어 수업을 조사하고, 학습자를 대상으로 1차 만족도 조사, 2차 면담 조사를 하며 수업 형태 변화에 대한 의견 을 모색하였다. 그 결과 학습자들의 매체 활용 능력은 우수하였고 온라인 수업 만족도도 높았다. 온라인 수업은 육아와 가정생활을 함께 할 수 있다는 것을 장점으로 꼽았다. 단점은 집중력 저하, 의사소통 부족 등이라고 하였다. 온라인과 대면 수업을 병행한다 면 온라인 수업은 ‘토픽, 귀화, 쓰기’ 등 이해 중심 수업, ‘회화, 발음, 문화 특강’ 등은 교실 대면 수업으로 진행하는 것이 효과적일 것이다.본 연구를 통해 결혼이민자의 한국어 온라인 수업 방향에 대한 논의가 이루어지기를 기대한다.

본 연구의 목적은 디지털스토리텔링을 적용한 한국어교육 상황에서 여성결혼이민자의 스토리 생성과정에 나타나는 상황학습을 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 여성결혼이민자 2명의 참여자와 교사가 한국어를 학습하고 디지털스토리를 생성해 나가는 수업을 연구 사례로 보고 각 사례의 고유성을 이해하고 공통점 및 상이점을 살펴보고자 참여 관찰을 통한 질적 사례연구를 수행하였다. 자료 수집은 사전 설문지, 전사자료 및 학습활동 산출물, 학습자 면담을 포함하며, 분석적 귀납법에 따라 반복 분석 및 상황학습이론 고찰을 병행하여 스토리생성과정을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 삼각측정법, 조사자 위치기술, 참고자료 등을 통해 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 연구결과 상황학습 기반 디지털스토리텔링 환경에서 교사와 학습자는 스토리구술 및 디지털화를 위하여, 학습자 삶의 경험ㆍ생각ㆍ언어지식 등을 공유함으로써 상황적 지식이 보다 명료화되어가는 스토리생성과정을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 즉 학습자의 경험과 생각, 의미, 선행지식, 학습내용, 실생활 등이 디지털스토리텔링 활동 안에서 유기적으로 연결ㆍ확장됨으로써 상황학습이 이루어졌다. 제2언어 학습자의 스토리가 제2언어로 구술되고 디지털스토리로 재생성 되는 학습과정 이해를 통하여 상황학습을 위한 디지털스토 리텔링 학습 설계와 상황학습의 이해에 시사점을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influences of a horticultural activity program applying REBT group counseling on female marriage immigrants’ self-expression and the degree of depression. The subjects that applied for the program are 14 persons. With them, 10 sessions in total were carried out for two hours per time on every Wednesday at the J. gun (County) Social Welfare Center from December 17, 2013 through February 25, 2014. To look into a result of a pre-test on homogeneity between the control group and the experimental group. For self-expression as a result of a t-test in the control group, there was no significant difference in the average (p=.825), t=0.42 (p>.05). For depression, in the control group, as a result of a t-test, there was no significant difference in the average (p=.142), t=-1.145 (p>.05). To look into the change of self-expression according to the process the program. As a result of a T-test in the control group, there was a very significant decrease, t=-7.675 (p<.001), it turned out that self-expression decreased during the program . As a result of a T-test in the experimental group there was a very significant increase, t=9.899 (p<.001), it turned out that self-expression increased during the program. To look into the change of self-expression according to the process the program. To look into the change of depression. As a result of Wilcoxon signed-rank test in the control, there was a significant increase (p=.016), z=-2.410 (p<.05), it turned out that their depression increased during the progress of the program. As a result of a T-test in the experimental group there was a very significant decrease, t=-7.175 (p<.001), it turned out that their depression decreased during the process of the program. As a result of a Pearson Correlation analysis on the factors of self-expression and factors of depression, their score of self-expression after the program had a significantly negative (-) correlation with their depression score (r=-0.705) after the program. Like the above results of the study, the horticultural activity applying REBT group counseling is effective for improving female marriage immigrants’ self-expression and reducing their depression.

이 연구는 베트남출신 결혼 이주여성들이 그들의 삶의 경험에서 직면해 온 자녀들의 언어선택의 경험에 대한 내러티브 탐구이다. 이 연구의 참여자들은 그들의 자녀가 살아 갈 공간이 한국이며, 현재 결혼상황과 한국의 경제적 우위, 그리고 그들을 둘러싼 사회 관계에서 한국어가 더 유용한 자녀 언어라고 인식하고 있었으며, 자신의 모국어가 배제 된 일상의 삶 속에서 자녀와 깊은 감정을 나눌 수 없었던 부정적인 경험을 공유하고 있 었다. 그리고 그들 모국어의 현실적 유용성을 인정해가는 사회적 상황의 변화 속에서 자 녀에게도 자신의 모국어를 가르쳐서 자녀가 이중 언어를 구사할 수 있도록 하는 것이 미래의 경쟁력 확보에 도움이 될 것이라는 현실을 경험해 가고 있었다. 사회적 상황의 변화가 그 언어와 그 언어 사용자의 가치를 변화시켜가고 있는 현실 속에서, 자신의 모 국어의 유용성이 시간적 차원에 따라 변화하고 있음을 인식해 가고 있는 베트남인 결혼 이주여성들의 내러티브는 한국사회에 존재하는 다양한 언어의 공존의 의미를 일깨워주 고 있다.

본 연구는 원예활동이 결혼이민자여성의 자존감에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 실시하였다. 원예활동프로그램 내용은 결혼이민자여성의 성취감을 고취시킬 수 있는 창작활동, 대인관계 교류를 확대시킬 수 있는 다양한 활동으로 구성되어 있다. 또한 식물가꾸기 등의 원예활동을 통해 생명의 존엄함과 삶의 의지를 심어주고자 하였다. 원예활동 실시 전･후 대상자들의 자아존중감 척도 검사를 한 결과, 대상자들의 자아존중감이 유의미한 향상 효과가 있었다. 한편, 참여관찰기록을 분석한 결과 대상자들의 정서표현, 웃음, 적극성, 타인과의 교류의 빈도와 정도가 증가하였다. 대상자들의 원예활동프로그램의 참여에 대한 만족도 및 진술에서도 성취감, 정서적 안정, 대인관계에서 긍정적 변화를 나타내었다. 이와 같이 결혼이민자여성을 대상으로 원예활동프로그램을 실시한 결과, 자아존중감의 효과와 함께 정서적 안정, 대인관계에서 긍정적 경험을 제공하여 한국사회 문화적응에 긍정적 기대효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
