  • This study aims to explore the potential of Korean language learning as a means of psychological healing and improving the quality of life for Japanese middle-aged and older learners. Results showed that Korean language learning could help alleviate various psychological issues experienced by middle-aged learners and contribute to enhancing their quality of life. Learning a foreign language is not just about acquiring information but also about meeting people who use the language and understanding and experiencing their culture. In particular, for Japanese middle-aged learners, Korean language learning can be advantageous as it can lead to the discovery or development of new hobbies or interests. Results also showed that Korean language learning increased learners' opportunities for interaction with others and enjoyment of learning new cultural customs. These positive outcomes suggest the need for discussion of teaching strategies that focus on psychological healing in foreign language education. Further clinical trials with participants who learn foreign languages for healing purposes may provide more conclusive evidence on the diverse effects of language learning on stress, anxiety, depression, self-development, social connections, and cognitive ability.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore directions for achieving therapeutic and social well-being effects through intercultural citizenship education in language classrooms. To accomplish this, we first clarified the concepts of education as healing, social well-being, and intercultural citizenship education. Subsequently, through the analysis of reflective journals on the writing and peer review processes written by university students, we discovered manifestations of key concepts of intercultural citizenship, such as empathy, recognition, connection, discovery of new knowledge, and attitude change. Based on these insights, we proposed the perspective that addressing the concept of intercultural citizenship in Korean language education can be beneficial for language education as a form of healing and for social well-being. Furthermore, we suggested that future language education should evolve from instruction focused on the interpretation of symbols and functional proficiency to practices that empower learners as members of global society, allowing them to assign value to their lives and build healthy relationships with others.

  • Food is a fundamental aspect of human life, encompassing the cultural essentials of clothing, shelter, and sustenance. Experiencing the culture of individuals who speak the language one is learning through food has proven to be an effective means of enhancing learners' motivation. It can be presumed that direct exposure to Korean cuisine, either through consumption or preparation, will exert a profoundly positive psychological impact on Korean learners, contributing to psychological healing, indirectly evidenced by stress reduction. Therefore, this study conducted a survey among Korean learners in Japan to investigate the potential for psychological healing through engagement with Korean food.

  • 본 연구는 그동안 탁월한 치유의 기능이 내재되어 있다고 알려진 시조의 감정 코드들을 분석하여 인문학적 치유의 콘텐츠를 활성화시키고자 하는 데에 목적이 있다. 치유작용의 일환으로써의 시조는 여러 작품들을 감상하는 과정에서 형성되는 감정의 융합을 통해 감정의 총체라 할 수 있는 치유의 감정 코드들을 형성한다. 이러한 과정은 인체생리학적으로 인체 내에서의 문학치료의 진행을 가능하게 한다. 머신러닝이 인지기능에 의해 스스로 학습하는 것처럼 상시적으로 부호화와 재부호화에 대한 코딩 과정이 인체 시스템의 수많은 뉴런들의 집합체들에서 작동된다. 그 과정에서 감정 코드들의 집합적인 부호화에 의해 인체 내에서 아미노산이 합성되는 것으로 예측된다. 이러한 아미노산들이 인체의 신호 체계를 조절하는 것이다. 향후 이러한 인문학과 인체생리학의 접점에서의 치료의 연구가 진행된다면 보다 질 높은 인문학적 치유의 프로그램이 활성화될 것으로 기대된다.
