Abusive language used by college students reflects current social attitudes and values. Adopting a comparative and cross-cultural perspective, this study examines the frequency and perceived severity of abusive language in English and Mandarin Chinese. Because abusive language often includes sexual connotations, this paper employs a particular concentration on sexism. Gender differences in the use of abusive language illustrate a male bias across cultures.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate foreigners' perception regarding Korean business culture and Korean business culture education. People who participated in this study are six foreign workers after studying at the university or graduate school in Korea. A phenomenological qualitative research method was used in this study in order to elicit life experiences from foreign workers who were working in Korea business companies. Therefore, their experience regarding Korean business culture and business culture education were measured by in-depth interviews. This study shows that nun-chi, vertical relationships, and impatience of Koreans are the most difficult culture to foreign workers. They also feel difficulties regarding Koreans' lack of understanding about other cultures. Moreover, these were not difficult components within school life; rather, the most difficult aspects were that they have never learned about the Korean business culture before getting a job. The results show that international students who want to work in Korea companies need to study about the culture of Korean business and revealed the desirability to learn. These results can be used as a foundation for understanding some contents and criterion of Korean business culture and education.

This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence multicultural adolescents' proficiency in their mother's native language, or their immigrant mother's native language. A hierarchical regression analysis was performed on data from the survey answered by 1,028 multicultural adolescents aged 15 years old and whose mothers were from foreign countries for the 6th Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study(MAPS) conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute (NYPI) in 2016. The main results are as follows. First, multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency was generally low and significant differences were observed according to their gender, parents' educational level, household income, and mother's native country. More specifically, a higher proficiency in minority language was found for girls than boys, adolescents with a higher parental educational level, adolescents with a higher income, and adolescents whose mothers were from Japan or China, compared with those from the Philippines, Thailand, or Vietnam. Second, a significant positive correlation was observed between multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency and 1) foreign culture acceptance, 2) parent's educational support, and 3) the use of the minority language at home. Third, foreign culture acceptance, parents' educational support, and the use of the minority language at home were predictors of multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency. The study is meaningful in that it examined multicultural adolescents' minority language proficiency, elucidating their bilingual development, whereas previous studies have only focused on their proficiency in Korean, which is the majority language.

The thesis is to look for the method of applying process drama for bilingual education in multicultural society. This purpose can be resolved in three steps: first, to understand the purposes and functions of education changing to multicultural society; second, to survey the need of bilingual education conformed to its purposes and functions; last, to understand the theoretical background of process drama and seek the method of utilizing it to bilingual education. Recently, the Korean society is also changing to multicultural society with international marriages and immigrant workers. But they have difficulties in communicating in Korean, and their children have even the same. Under the basis of multiculturalism wanting peace and mutual respect between cultural groups, they have to be educated in equality. This is why the bilingual education is needed in our society. Process drama, a widely used term for educational drama in Britain, claims its effectiveness for L1, L2 and bilingual education, for the principal medium in drama is language and what drama delivers is related to meaningful human experiences. It is also supported on script theory of linguistic therapy. Kase-Polisini classifies the developmental process of education drama into 1) planning, 2) playing and 3) evaluation. This process can be applied to educational drama for language as well. Rather, educational drama applying to bilingual education has even more availability with the varieties of group organization and subject matter. Conclusively speaking, the group of dual language schools can be organized into 1) mother-tongued group, 2) mother-tongued and L2 group, 3) multilingual group, or 4) L3 group in educational drama activity, as the class generally consist of the mixed multilingual children. And the subject matter can deal with 1) the Korean society and culture, 2) the society and culture of the purposed language country, or 3) the society and culture of the third nations.

This paper explores how to teach Chinese, using multi-media resources such as Chinese dramas and focusing on one of Jin Yong's dramas, The Return of the Condor Heroes. The purpose of this study is to develop teaching methodologies for university students learning Chinese through drama to integrate language skills: enhancing communicative competence and understanding Chinese cultures. First, the overview of previous studies provides several cases of foreign language education using drama. Teaching Chinese through drama can be an integrative education because students can develop their communicative competence as well as understand the cultures of the target language. In other words, the contexts of drama may offer rich sources of the history of China, Han Chinese ethnocentrism, and knowledge of Chinese literature as well as geography. Second, this study applies the principles of Tomlinson (2010) for materials development in language teaching into the case of Chinese drama. It concentrates on Jin Yong's The Return of the Condor Heroes that the author has used in the Chinese language courses for three years. It examines the characteristics of the drama for developing effective ways of teaching and learning Chinese language and culture. Furthermore, it discusses the impact of using drama on changes in students' pervasive perceptions about unnecessity of Chinese classical literature. Third, this paper presents some sample lessons which may help teachers to develop understanding of how to organize lessons through drama. Finally, it illustrates university students' opinions about using drama to learn Chinese.

이 연구는 전국 수어지명의 유래에 대한 것으로 수어지명에서 나타나는 한국수어 형태론적 특성과 어원론적 형태를 통해 유래를 알아보고자 전국의 한국농아인협회 각 시·군 지회를 통한 간행자료들을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 수어지명에서는 한자, 한글, 외래어 등에서의 차용성보다 토박이 수어지명 즉, 농인에 의해 만들어지고, 사용된 수어지명이 대다수를 이루고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 지명은 해당 지역의 문화, 정체성 등과 함께 역사를 나타내는 소중한 문화유산에 해당한다고 볼 때에 수어지명에 나타난 풍부한 도상성, 토박이 수어지명은 농문화 혹은 한국수어에 있어 보존, 전승의 가치가 있다고 할 수 있다. 그것은 수어지명의 유래가 해당 지역의 특산품, 지리적 특성 등에 의한 수어지명이 현대에 이르러 그 지역의 지리적 특성이 변화되었거나, 특산품 자체가 사라진 상황에서도 지속적으로 여러 세대를 거쳐 이어져 오고 있다는 것이다. 이는 수어지명에서 볼 수 있는 농인의 시각중심적인 한국수어의 특성을 반영한다고 볼 수 있으며, 농문화사적인 자료보존 차원에서 매우 값진 유산이 될 수 있는 것으로 보인다.

본 연구의 목적은 제 2언어와 목표 문화, 그리고 윤리 교육을 위한 학습 자료로서 영화 음악의 가능성을 파악하고 그것의 효율적인 활용도를 고찰하는 것이다. 몇몇 교수자들은 언어 교실에서 음악이나 노래가 단지 부차적인 학습 자료라고 간주하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 음악은 시대에 따라 그 나라의 언어뿐만 아니라 사상과 문화 및 다양한 관념을 반영하기 때문에 훌륭한 학습 자료가 될 수 있다. 이를 고찰하기 위해 본 연구는 디즈니의 유명한 애니메이션, 라이온 킹(The Lion King) 음악을 선정하여 이를 활용한 구체적인 학습 활동을 제시하였다. 영화 음악 중 선정된 5곡은 , , , , 이다. 먼저 언어 학습 중 듣기 말하기 활동, 어휘와 문장 구조 및 문법 학습 활동, 쓰기 활동을 위해 빈칸 채우기 과업, 노래 따라 부르고 녹음하기 과업, 자신의 경험을 바탕으로 가사 직접 써보기 등의 다양한 과업을 제시하였다. 다음으로 문화 학습을 위해 목표어의 특정 문화에 대한 토론하고 자각하기 활동이 제시되었다. 마지막으로 윤리 학습을 위해 주제곡들을 활용해서 자연의 섭리와 인생철학, 지도자의 자질과 조건, 그리고 행복을 즐기는 인생관 등에 대해 탐구하였다. 문화와 윤리 학습에 대해 학습자들의 만족도와 자각도에 대해 개방형 설문조사를 시행하였고 그 결과 음악은 문화와 윤리적 가치를 자각하는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 영화 음악은 제 2언어와 목표 문화 그리고 윤리 교육을 위한 매우 효율적인 학습 자료가 될 수 있다.
