This paper discusses how the concept of "bilingualism" can be used to reflect changes within Bruneian society since the 1940's. It argues that within the context of a linguistically diverse population, the various indigenous groups of Brunei used to speak their own traditional languages, but eventually learned to speak the language of the politically dominant Malays. The Malay language became a necessary additional language, hence leading to a population which could speak their own languages, alongside the Malay language. But the rise of schools teaching in English in the 1970's began to sow seeds of a different kind of bilingualism, encouraged by language shift processes among ethnic minority groups.

This study examines the influence of early English education on children's bilingual language development to see whether the early exposure to English education affects children's competencies of both English and Korean. Based on this purpose, it attempts to examine whether it supports additive or subtractive bilingualism. The competencies of both English and Korean of the children with early English education were, therefore, compared with those of the children without it, and the relation between the two competencies was also studied. For this research, two different groups of children - one with 48 children who attend English kindergarten and the other with 60 children who attend only Korean kindergarten - took PPVT-R in Korean and in English each. The result shows that children with early English education have more English competency than those without it. No significant differences, however, are found in Korean competency between the two groups. The relation between the two competencies proves positive in children with early English education. It can thus be concluded that the effect of early English education is partially positive on children's language development, which may support the additive bilingualism that children's second language can improve without losing their native language competency. In addition, this result will be able to provide for us the direction and the guideline to the policy of foreign language education and early education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bilingualism on children's selective attentional ability by comparing Korean-Chinese bilingual with Chinese monolinguals in China. The subjects were 71 children, 4 and 5 years of age, 38 of whom were bilingual while 33 were monolingual. Bilingual children spoke Korean at home but Chinese in the community and at preschool. The instrument used to measure children's selective attentional ability was DCCST (Dimensional Change Card Sorting Task) and ANT (Attentional Network Test). Results showed that bilingual children were more advanced than monolingual in selective attentional ability.

본 연구에서는 한국 영화 <방가?방가!>, <완득이>를 통해서 얻은 외국인에 대한 한국인의 다문화 수용 양상과 언어와 사회와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그리고 한국 다문화 가정 속의 언어형태에 대해서 결혼이주민 여성을 대상으로 설문 조사했다. 그 내용과 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 한국인의 다문화 수용 양상은 서로 간의 이해관계가 없는 경우 다소 긍정적이라는 점. (2) 외국인이 쉽게 언어를 접하고 습득할 수 있는 방법은 그 사회와 문화에 있다는점. 외국인 근로자들이 사회 속에서 속어나 은어와 같은 위상 (位相) 언어를 사용하고 있다는 점은 언어와 특정 사회의 관계를 보여 주는 단적인 예라고 볼 수 있다. (3) 한국 다문화 가정 속의 언어형태는 주로 한국어로 사용되지만, "1 언어사용자(monolingual)"와의 원활한 의사소통을 위해 두 개의 언어를 동시에 사용하고 있다는 점이다. 이것을 "2 언어 사용(bilingualism)"이라고 하는데, 본 연구 결과에서는 "청해형 2 언어 사용"의 언어형태를 보이고 있다고 판단된다. 앞으로는 국제화 시대에 향후 한국 사회도 다문화 수용성 개선을 위해서는 다문화 관련 콘텐츠 개발과 의사소통에 국한 시키는 한국어 교육이 아닌 다문화 가정을 위한 "2 언어 사용(bilingualism)" 교육 프로그램 개발이 시급하다고 생각된다.

This paper, drawing on various secondary sources related to bilingualism and bilingual education, proposes a semi-CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model as an initial option for Korea's ELT instruction at a primary level, with a subsequent application to a secondary level in mind. It is reported that the current pedagogy focused on early English education and communicative language teaching does not meet the needs of students' EFL proficiency. The main reasons for this are considered to lie in the social and educational environment which impedes EFL students' meaningful and authentic communication in target language. Thus, by exploring a conceptual approach to such a problem, this paper suggests a paradigm of integrating content and language for a reasonable solution.

The purpose of the study was to explore the degree of children's access to media and the relationship between the use of media and language development of Korean-Chinese bilingual children in Yanji, China. Questionnaires were answered by 258 4th graders and their parents. The results showed that the children had an access to a variety of media. The children's use of language(Korean/ Chinese) differed to the type of media： they had more access to Korean language in the use of newspapers/magazines, books, and radio, and to Chinese language in the use of computer. They had comparatively a balanced access to Korean/chinese language in the use of TV. Stepwise regression analyses revealed that the children's access to Chinese language in the use of media, proficiency of a parent's Chinese language, and a parent's affection were related to proficiency of the children's Chinese language. Implications are derived from the use of media in development of bilingualism.

This study compared the English and the Korean receptive competency of bilingual children with that of English and Korean monolingual children, respectively. The relation between English and Korean receptive competency of bilingual children was examined by age and gender. Subjects were 27 bilingual, 30 Korean monolingual, 24 English monolingual children. They were administered the revised form of the Peabody Pictures Vocabulary Test in Korean and English versions. Results show that bilingual children's Korean receptive competency is lower than those who spoke only Korean, and bilingual children's English receptive competency was a little lower than those who spoke only English, but the difference narrowerd with age. The relation between Korean and English competency in bilingual children was negative in 4- and 5-year-olds but became positive in 6-year-olds. This study shows that the two points-of-view on bilingual language development should be applied differently depending on children's age.

The main purpose of this paper Is to analyze the characteristics of the Korean language used as a major communication means within the Korean community in Chenguoz District of Harbin, Heirungjiang Province, China, in terms of its phonology, morphology and syntax. The study focuses on how a variety of languages and dialects including Chinese, the Standard Chinese Korean adopted as a means of teaching in Korean schools, and Kyongsang Dialect of Korean have influenced the language of the community. It also deals as background information with the history of the community, the attitude of the community members toward Korean and Chinese, and their proficiencies of Korean and Chinese, to obtain the general picture of the bilingualism of this community. This specific region was studied since this region and most of the Korean communities in the Heirungjiang province were formed by descendents of the immigrants from the southern provinces of the Korean Peninsula, which allows the comparison between the language used today and the language their ancestors used before moving to this area. Due to the industrialization and innovation brought about by the opening of the Chinese society, the fast outward flow of youths to urban areas, and greater assimilation threats from the embedding Chinese culture, we are not too sure if the Korean language will continue to be used in the future. Given these circumstances, we consider this research most opportune in that it provides a look into the Korean community that developed its distinctive culture and language within an isolated cultural environment.

이 논문은 한국어-중국어(=KC) 이중언어자의 문장 처리 전략을 실험적으로 연구하여 한국어 단일언어자의 문장 처리 전략과 비교함으로써 (1) KC 이중 언어에 나타나는 문장 처리 전략의 전반적 특징을 밝히고, (2) 제 1 언어 처리 전략과 제 2 언어 처리 전략 간의 간섭이 이중 언어 발달에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 보이는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 우리는 중국 연변 조선족 집거촌의 만 3세부터 성인에 이르는 다양한 연령 집단에서 166 명의 피험자를 모집하여 실시간 주어/행동주 판정 실험을 실시하였다 (cf. Liu, Bates & Li, 1992). 실험 결과를 한국어 단일언어자 대상의 이전 연구와 비교하여 다음 결론에 도달하였다. 첫째, 한국어 단일언어 아동은 3-4세 경 생물성 (animacy)에 근거해 문장의 주어/행동주를 판별하는 반면, KC 이중언어 아동은 생물성 전략 이외에도 어순 전략을 많이 활용한다. 둘째. KC 이중언어자가 주어/행동주 판별에 형태소를 활용하는 시기는 10세 이후로 한국어 단일언어 아동의 5세 경과 비교하여 많이 늦다. 셋째, 한국어 단일언어자 성인은 형태소 전략을 최우선적으로 활용하는 반면, KC 이중언어자는 성인이 되어서도 형태소 전략 이외에 생물성 전략과 어순 전략을 적극적으로 활용한다. KC 이중언어자의 언어 수행은 생물성과 어순이 중요한 중국어의 영향을 받은 것으로 보이며, 이는 Liu, Bates & Li (1992)가 제안하는 조기이중언어자의 전략 후행 전이를 지지하는 결과라 할 수 있다.
