Errors in EFL writing are very often attributable to learner's inadequate understanding of the target culture. Most of these errors are very hard to identify because they are grammatically correct notwithstanding the meaning. EFL learners almost habitually equate the meaning and usage of a linguistic item when it is present both in the native and the target languages. However, seemingly identical items in both languages sometimes prove themselves to be distinct from each other because of cultural differences. Some expressions in the native language are neither socially acceptable nor meaningful in the target language. Out of sheer ignorance, moreover, one puts a target item in the way he may use it in his native language. For instance. the primary feature of the term "friend" in Korean is [+same age group]. So, a Korean young man is not supposed to call his teacher a friend. This paper aims to clarify patterns of college level writing errors caused by interference of mother culture.

This study is designed to determine how to identify misleading news articles based on natural language processing on Artificial Intelligence & Bigdata. A misleading news discrimination system and method on natural language processing is initiated according to an embodiment of this study. The natural language processing-based misleading news identification system, which monitors the misleading vocabulary database, Internet news articles, collects misleading news articles, extracts them from the titles of the collected misleading news articles, and stores them in the misleading vocabulary database. Therefore, the use of the misleading news article identification system and methods in this study does not take much time to judge because only relatively short news titles are morphed analyzed, and the use of a misleading vocabulary database provides an effect on identifying misleading articles that attract readers with exaggerated or suggestive phrases. For the aim of our study, we propose news article identification methods in natural language processing on Artificial Intelligence & Bigdata.

어떤 언어도 다른 언어와 분리되어 독립적으로 존재할 수 없다. 언어는 외래문화와 접촉하게 되면 서로 끊임없는 영향을 미치고 변화를 불러일으킨다. 90년대 이후 세계 과학기술 및 정보화의 급속적인 발전으로 한국의 드라마, K-POP으로 파생된 한류 붐은 중국 언어에도 영향을 미쳐 중국 온오프라인에서 한국어 차용 신조어가 교류 상용어이자 사회 유행어가 되고 있다. 한국어 차용 신조어는 중국어와 한국어의 언어접촉의 영향과 결과를 반영한 것으로 우리는 한국어 차용 중국어 신조어의 발생 배경과 원인을 사회문화요인과 심리적 필요성을 근거로 살펴보고, 신조어를 음역, 의역, 한국한자어 차용, 기타 4가지 유형으로 나누어 설명하였다. 신조어는 조어 과정에서 발생하는 비규범적인 문제에도 불구하고 중국어 표현을 더욱 풍부하게 하며, 언어적인 면에서도 새로움과 변화, 혁신적이고 창조적인 것을 추구하는 중국 세대의 견해와 이해를 반영하는 사회문화의 거울이 된다. 우리는 한·중 양국 젊은이들이 상대언어와 문화를 이해하고 소통하여 서로 우호적인 감정을 가질 수 있는 인식 변화의 계기가 될 수 있기를 기대하며, 향후 중국어 교육 현장에서도 한·중 언어융합의 응용을 통한 교수 및 학습에 도움이 되길 기대한다.

The aim of this study is to understand how English textbooks in Korea and Japan reflect English education policies for improving the English language learners' cultural ability. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the method of analyzing English textbooks was used because English textbooks are an important tool that most specifically reflects the English policy of a country. This study analyzed a total of six English textbooks, three middle school English textbooks currently used in Korea and three in Japan. We analyzed nouns/pronouns related to culture presented in the reading section included in each unit, and compared cultural diversity and cultural identity included in English textbooks in Korea and Japan. As a result, it was found that both countries experienced cultural diversity through English education and introduced their cultural pride to Western culture to realize the goal of strengthening global capabilities. This textbook analysis results show that English textbooks of Korea and Japan depend on American/British cultures and norms. The cultural contents of English textbooks in Korea and Japan tend to focus on geography, food and drink, festivals and activities, family and education systems, etc. And English textbooks in Korea and Japan include the cultural sections in each lesson, but they don't suggest how to relate these cultural sections into the learners' real experiences. These results can be utilized as the motives from which both countries develop English education policy and textbooks in the future.

Recently, the number of students to choose to study in Australia has been increasing significantly. The purpose of this study is to examine how Korean primary school children perceive their own English language learning and cultural adaptation in Australia. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 34 Korean children aged 8-13 who were attending primary schools in Brisbane, Queensland. The study results show that they made diverse efforts to learn English language and culture in Australia, such as making English-speaking friends, watching TV/video/DVD, reading English books, and studying with a foreign tutor. Their English listening and writing abilities were thought to be improved most, followed by speaking, reading and cultural understanding after studying in Australia. The subjects were mostly satisfied with their study and life in Australia but they had difficulties with communicating in English, homesickness, foods, weather, insects, and discrimination. In particular, they had problems with understanding classes conducted all in English and participating in the classroom activities due to their low level of English ability and understanding of Australian classroom culture. The findings of this study have pedagogical implications for educators both in Australia and Korea.

This paper elucidates the characteristics of transnational adoption, estimates the possibility of beyond-borders identity of transnational adoptees, and tries to analyze Jane Jeong Trenka's The Language of Blood in its context. Though it has been regarded as one of the most humanitarian ways of helping orphans and poor children of the world, transnational adoption, a one-way flow of children from poor Asian countries to rich white countries, has been operated under the market logic between countries. Transnational adoptees, who had been abandoned and forced to be taken away from their birth mother, and later, to fulfill the desire of white parents for a perfect family, perform an ideological labor, serving to make the heterogeneous nuclear family complete. Korean transnational adoptees, forced to transcend the borders of nation, culture, and ethnicity, experience racial conflict and alienation in white adoptive family and society. Their diaspora experience of violent dislocation creates frustration and confusion in establishing their identity as a whole being. When they return to Korea to find their birth mother and their true identity, Korean adoptees, however, are faced with other obstructing issues, such as language problem, culture conflict, and maternal nationalism. Finally, Korean transnational adoptees reject Korean nationalism discourse based on blood, and try to redefine themselves as beyond-borders subjectivities with new and fluid identities. Jane Jeong Trenka's The Language of Blood, an autobiographical novel based on her experiences as a transnational adoptee, represents a Korean adopted girl's personal, cultural, and racial conflict within her white adoptive family, and questions the image of benevolent white mother and the myth of multiculturalism. The novel further represents Jane's return to Korea to find out her true identity, and shows Jane's disappointment and alienation in her birth country due to her ignorance of language and culture. Returning to USA again, and trying to be reconciled with her American mother, Jane shows the promise of accepting her new identity capable of transcending the borders, and thus, the possibility of enlarging the category of belonging.

빠르게 변화하는 것은 기술 발전만이 아니다. 언어도 세대별 계층별로 다양한 공감대를 형성하며 급속으로 만들어지고 확산되어 간다. 그러므로 신어는 시기마다 생성되는 문화사의 한 부분으로서 이해할 필요성이 있다. 신어는 언어공동체의 공인 속에서 재미와 편리함, 친밀감 이상의 대체 불가능성을 지니고 있어 규범 언어에서 그 사용을 자제하도록 한다 해도 그 파급 속도를 막을 수가 없다. 그것이 얼마나 오래 살아남을 것이냐는 중요한 문제가 아니다. 언어를 중심으로 작은 공동체가 만들어지고 기존 공동체를 파편화시켜 보이지 않는 벽을 세우는 것이 신어 향유자들에게는 오히려 흥미로운 언어 생활로 여겨지기 때문이다. 우리는 이 논문에서 한 글자를 두 가지 또는 그 이상으로 읽거나 거기에 담긴 다의적인 연상을 의도적으로 오독하는 시각적 유희, 즉 문자 유희를 중심으로 신어를 연구한다. 신어의 특성은 간섭 받기 싫어하고, 기존의 질서에 기발함을 더하는 것을 즐기는 젊은 세대의 성향이 만들어낸 결과물이다. 그렇기 때문에 어느 시대에나 신어는 만들어졌고, 형태는 다르지만 신어 생성의 원리는 오래된 방식이다. 우리는 이 논문에서 신어 생성의 역사적 특성에 대해서도 고찰할 것이다.

As the globalization process progresses more rapidly and widely, there has been a ever-growing demand for multilingual learning. Compared with the study of Second Language Acquisition, studies on the Third Language and even Multilingual Acquisition have attracted a relatively poor attention. At the same time, considering current educational environments for ethnic colleges and universities, the effects of college English teaching for minority students can be said to have been 'generally poor.' In this situation, when we try to find ways to improve college English studies for minority students most of whom already can speak two languages or even more, it would not be the best idea to keep following the experiences of traditional Second Language Acquisition. It is necessary first to find out whether there are positive or negative effects in acquiring multiple languages, and then to conduct a profound research on L3 (third language and even multilingual) Acquisition in order to employ more efficient teaching methods for multilingual learners. After conducting a Japanese-teaching experiment on two groups of learners with mono-lingual and bilingual backgrounds, it has been found that there is a positive transfer between different languages. In this paper, following the recent research findings on Language teaching for multilingual learners, I try to show with further supports that when it comes to language education for learners with multilingual backgrounds, we should focus on the advantages they may earn in order to conduct more effective language acquisition.

수학적인 언어를 정확하게 사용하지 못하면 수학적 의사소통이 제대로 이루어지기 어려우므로, 학생들에게 해당 학년 수준의 수학적 언어를 정확하게 사용하는 능력과 태도를 길러 줄 필요가 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 초등 4학년 학생들을 대상으로 수학적 언어를 정확히 사용하여 의사소통하는 문화 형성을 시도하였으며, 그 과정에서 일어난 변화의 양상을 알아보았다. 이 연구에서 교사는 정확한 수학적 표현을 중시하는 교실 문화를 형성하려는 의도적인 노력을 기울였다. 그 과정에서 교사의 의도대로 지시대명사 사용의 감소, 기호화 활동의 증가, 부정확하거나 틀린 표현의 수정, 약속하기에 대한 존중, 주의 깊게 듣는 태도와 같은 변화가 나타났다. 이는 초등학교 4학년 수준에서 해당 단계의 수학적 언어를 정확히 사용하는 교실 문화를 형성하는 것이 가능함을 시사한다. 그러나 일부 학생들은 교사에 의해 의도적으로 추구된 새로운 문화에 방어적인 태도를 취하였다.
