The main objective of this research was to probe the DLM-based teaching method for Korean students’ English communication skills. For this study, the corpus was made of Korean reading materials with 307 frequently used sentence patterns extracted. The present research employing a quasi-experimental design and a comparative analysis of Korean and English corpora revealed the followings: first, the difference between the DLM (experimental group) and the CTR (control group) was examined in terms of the pretest score in order to identify the students’ level of English productive skills. After the pretest, meaningful translation focused DLM was employed in the instruction of the experimental group but not in the instruction of the control group. After one semester of teaching, on the posttest, the students in the DLM group outperformed the students in the CTR group. In conclusion, it can be inferred that the DLM teaching method is effective for English productive skills and can be a good solution to our English education environments in which both teachers and students use Korean as a medium of teaching English.

At the time of the Confederation in 1867 when Canada became a country the government made English and French the official languages, ignoring the aboriginal languages altogether, both at the federal level and in the province of Quebec. Later, when it joined the Confederation, Manitoba gave French official language status as well. But in most parts of Canada French eventually began to lose ground; Manitoba rescinded its French language policy, Ontario abolished French schools in 1912, and other provinces put restrictions on the use of French. Most immigrants learned English, especially in the western parts of Canada. More recently Canadian bilingualism has not only adopted English and French as the nation's official languages, but also allowed ethnic minorities to maintain native-language and choose English or French as second languages. The purpose of this research is to analyze dual language French- English education in the multicultural society of Canada.
