This paper concerns the cultural tourism and the importance of cultural interpreters. Globalization has become a key word of 21st century, so the volume of tourists has been increasing. Furthermore, as the Korean wave has expanded to the world, more people are interested in Korea and Korean culture, and we observed the obvious increase of tourists. International tourists visit Korea with a variety of purposes, and their travel types are also diversified. This paper analyzes tourists' behavior based on the data provided by KNTO and briefly examines the cultural interpreters in 5 major organizations. Then considering the specific roles of the guides based on the Cohen (1985) and Lee (2011), I propose that the government should give more focus on the professional foreign language speaking interpreters for culture. As for an alternative to the present volunteering system for foreign languages, I strongly suggest multi-culture families or international students staying in Korea, for the wiser use of their abilities, their easy adaptation to the new world, and the peaceful coexistence.

우리나라 교육통계에 따르면 외국인 가정 및 국제결혼 가정의 자녀 수는 138,227명에 달하며(교육부, 2020), 결혼이민자는 169,005명에 이른다(법무부, 2022). 이들 중 대다수는 의사소통의 어려움을 호소하며, 의사소통 문제는 학교 및 사회생활 부적응으로 이어진다. 이에 대하여, 지방자치단체와 다문화 유관기관 등에서 다양한 한국어교육 프로그램을 진행하고 있지만, 대부분이 단편적인 학습지 교육이나 문화 체험 수업에 그치거나 코로나19 등으로 인하여 수업이 중단되는 등 효과적이고 체계적인 교육이 제공되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 한국에서 적응하고 생활해야 하는 다문화 가정 구성원들을 대상으로 한국어교육을 체계적으로 실시하기 위해 가상현실(VR)을 활용한 교육 프로그램을 제안한다. 이는 시공간의 제약을 받지 않아 일반 교재나 PC 활용 수업에 비해 접근성이 좋고 실재감과 몰입감을 높여 학습자의 흥미와 참여도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 특히 다자간 동시 참여가 가능한 메타버스 공간에서는 학습자 간 활발한 상호작용 및 소통이 가능하여 언어 능력과 더불어 사회 적응력을 기르는 데에 기여할 수 있다.
