  • 본 연구는 자동화된 통사 구문 분석 프로그램인 TAASSC를 활용하여 통사적 복잡성 지표와 분석적 척도의 언어 사용 점수 간의 관계를 살펴본다. 본 연구에서는 ICNALE 코퍼스에서 영어를 외국어로 학습하는 EFL 학생이 작성한 에세이 440개를 분석하였고, 언어 사용 점수와 Lu의 전통적인 통사적 복잡성 지표, 구 복잡성 지표, 절 복잡성지표 간의 관계를 탐색하였다. 단계적 회귀분석 결과, 구 복잡성 지표가 분석적 척도의 언어 사용 점수를 가장 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났으나 선행연구와는 달리 언어 사용 점수를 차지하는 변량은 낮았다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 구수준에서의 통사구문에 대한 지도와 연습이 필요하다는 쓰기 교육의 시사점을 제시한다.

  • Leslie Marmon Silko, in her novel Gardens in the Dunes, primarily focuses on revealing the white colonialists' plan to exterminate and destroy American Indians and their culture. In this regard, this novel is clearly an Indian counter narrative to interrogate and abrogate the authority of the oppressive and destructive discourse of the whites who are full of colonialist impulses to sterilize Indians and their culture. However, it should be noted that Silko is very careful not to insist on cultural exclusivism and reverse ethnocentrism, since these only mean a return to the violent colonialists' discourse based on dualism and cultural authenticity which, she believes, has led to the marginalization and eventual deterioration of Indians and their culture. White values and culture are something to recognize and tolerate as long as they are not the products of witchery, also known as the destroyer or evil for Silko, which promotes disruption and antagonism between races and classes. As she reveals in her interview, her major concern in the novel is to dismantle political and/or racial distinctions like Native Americans versus EuroAmericans and thus to enhance the idea of the reconciliation and coexistence of whites and Indians. Silko's Gardens in the Dunes can be regarded as an experiment in the possibility of the universal and homogeneous (at least in its roots) global culture which tolerates all forms of culture. Global culture does not mean a uniform totalitarian culture but a vision of a harmonious world characterized by hybridity and heterogeneity, in which different cultures associate freely without the notion of inferiority or superiority of any one culture. Silko's belief in syncretism emphasizes the spirit of tolerance and exchange between different cultures, dismantling the authority of exclusive ethnocentrism. The ultimate message implied in Gardens in the Dunes is that the syncretic spirit is not only an effective means to correct the white colonialists' hegemonic desire aimed at the extermination of Indians and their culture but also a source of energy for the life and prosperity of modern Indians and their societies.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate how marriage migration females understand and adjust to the culture of family life in Korea. The study was the conducted by extensively interviewing one member from each of a total of 16 women's multicultural families at a daycare center area in Seoul between June 16, 2010 and July 28, 2010. The results can be summarized as follows: All interviewees were marriage migration females, in the range 20 to 50 years of age, and with middle educational backgrounds. They all had middle-level incomes. Through the content analysis of the informants' responses, three major factors were found to influence the understanding and adjustment of to the culture of family living: personal factors, familial support, and sociocultural support systems. Among the personal factors, the intimacy of the married couples was trouble major factor. An issue that tended to arise was that Korean husbands' traditional culture in terms of their way of thinking was often different from that of the wife's culture. However, husbands supported their wives' outside activities and friendships in order to help them adjust to the culture of family living. The husbands made an effort to understand their wives' original culture and national food, often visiting restaurants that served their wives' national cuisine. In terms of familial support, the most important factors affecting marriage migration females were orienting the education of children to the mother's native language, cooking their national foods, and visiting the mother's nation with the children. Marriage migration females had the following requires: The teacher in the daycare center needed to be interested in children from multicultural families and encourage self-pride in the marriage migration females' children. In terms of sociocultural support systems, marriage migration females are conscious of the indisposition and lack of consideration in Korean life. However, the Korean government and local provinces are concentrating attention on education for marriage migration females in terms of language, because learning the language can help these women to become accustomed to the rituals of Korean life. Marriage migration females make an effort to understand and adjust to Korean family living culture that involves the food culture for ceremonial occasions, folk plays, and places of historic interest. A matter of importance is Korean people's effort to understand and adjust to multicultural family with their distinctive cultures. Welfare policy related to multicultural families involves adopting supportive laws and actions.

  • The paper argues for the necessicity of revising many fundamental concepts that we use in everyday situations and in communication such as reality, thought, language, the world and finally the truth. The paper develops the argument that what the word ′truth′ actually signifies cannot be addressed just by explicating what philosophy, science or even religion denote but that it can only be answered fully by the study of language and therefore in a larger context linguistics. Language is the very tool that enriches the communication between one another due to its diverse significations that one may use when expressing one′s views, thereby making life more enjoyable. The paper develops why the above corresponding argument should be justified by developing three outstanding views as follows. The world or reality is indistinguishable from the common worldview that we associate with without the means of language. That the worldview is in essence inseparable from the mental and intellectual representation of it and the only means of expression lies with language. And finally, that the language is a complex signification in itself in every aspect. Language in short is the very essence of what we define as being ′poetic.′ With these arguments in mind, we may once again ponder the signification of Nietzsche′s words when he states that "to see science through the lens of art, and art through the lens of life."

  • 본 연구는 베를린 국립유럽학교(SESB)의 교육과정을 분석하여, 독일의 이주민 사회통합 정책에 따른 상호문화교육에 대하여 이중언어교육을 중심으로 알아보았다. 이를 위하여 베를린 국립유럽학교 중에서 Joan-Miró 초등학교와 Finow 초등학교을 사례로 교육과정을 분석하였다. 독일에서는 이주가정의 학생이 자신이 속한 문화적 공동체의 언어 및 정체성을 유지하면서 동시에 독일사회에 통합할 수 있는 다문화교육 정책을 유지하고 있다. 따라서 이주자들의 모국어 사용능력 유지와 이주학생들의 독일어습득이 독일의 사회통합 정책의 중심에 있다고 할 수 있다. 베를린 국립유럽학교는 학생들의 언어능력뿐만 아니라, 다양한 문화적 배경의 학생들을 위한 상호문화교육 환경 조성을 위하여 설립된 일반 공립학교이다. 베를린의 국립유럽학교는 이주가정 출신의 학생들이 그들의 언어와 문화정체성을 유지하는 것과 동시에 독일사회에 통합할 수 있도록 하는 상호문화교육을 교육목표로 하고 있다. Joan-Miró 초등학교에서는 학생들의 미래 지식사회를 위한 준비와 함께 상호문화 능력 및 이중언어 능력을 장려하고, 학생들로 하여금 독립적 생활과 자기주도적 학습을 할 수 있도록 하고 있다. Finow 초등학교에서는 학생들에게 미래 유럽의 지식사회에서 요구하는 시민으로서의 역량을 강화시킬 수 있는 기본능력 이외에 상호문화적 역량 및 언어적 역량, 그리고 지향성 역량을 장려하고 있다. 한국 학교의 외국어교육에서도 독일의 국립 유럽학교와 같이 실용적으로 다변화할 필요가 있다. 이와 함께 학생들의 이중언어능력의 개선, 학생 각각의 개인별 특성에 맞는 능력개발, 그리고 상호문화이해역량을 증진할 수 있도록 교육환경의 개선이 필요하다.

문화, 제국, 민족 -비판적 전유를 위한 에드워드 사이드의 『문화와 제국주의』 읽기 (Culture, Empire, and Nation: A Critical Appropriation of Edward Said's Culture and Imperialism)

  • This essay examines Edward Said's Culture and Imperialism focusing on the concepts of 'culture,' 'empire,' and 'nation'. The approach is critical, theoretical, and historical rather than explicatory. Consequently, the range of the essay is not limited to Said's own explanation and argument about Western imperialism and its culture presented in the book. In doing this, this essay finally purposes to be a discursive resistance to the current global empire, the United States, via a critical reading of Said's work. Said's notion of culture is set upon to disclose the function of culture as an apparatus of ideological consent of the dominated to the dominant. When applied to imperial practice, Western culture functions to subject the colonized to the colonizer. Said's geographical approach to imperialism complements the historical understanding of imperialism. Imperialism is not only the practice of Western-centered historicism but also the spatially mutual interaction between the West and the rest of the world. Along with European imperialism, Said poses the current global empire of the United States as his main target of criticism. Said's problem is that he takes the United States as a nation-state. When examined, the United States is not a nation-state, but today's empire. The empire in the appearance of the nation-state United States does not work for the interest of the American nation, that is, the American people. The empire is the transnational and postnational political and economic institution that works for the interest of global capital. In order to resist the current global empire, this essay suggests that the building or restoration of nation-states with its basic principle of people's sovereignty is in need.

  • This paper examines language policies of Ghana and Tanzania (former British Colonies) since independence. The view that language use in education is a problem for African countries is evident in the ever changing language in education policies in many African countries. Because of the inevitable multilingual situation in many African countries, there are unavoidable challenges in their quest to adopt a language policy that works for the entire country since it is not practical to adopt all the languages spoken in the country as Media of Instruction. Ghana is not immune to this challenge and has fallen victim to this tendency to change the language in education policy from time to time in an attempt to adopt a satisfactory policy which would yield the intended results. Tanzania, however, is one of the few African countries that have found a sustainable language in education policy since independence. Nonetheless, it has its fair share of challenges as a consequence of the perceived competition between Kiswahili and English as official languages. The paper discusses the challenges that both Ghana and Tanzania face against the background of colonization. The paper also offers a discussion on possible future perspectives for the two countries.
