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.

This study investigates English medium instruction (EMI) in an institution of higher education in Seoul, Korea to see whether this course creates cultural correction (reproduction of inequitable relations of power in EMI settings) or cultural continuity (opportunities for transporting students into a third space and enabling them to explore cultural diversity and to create new knowledge for themselves). A single site where EMI is carried out, a class on fairy tales and child education taught by a native English speaking professor, was chosen because it was hypothesized that the professor would display some of her unconscious dominant cultural orientation. The results of the study show that there more cases of cultural correction than there were of cultural continuity. Cases of cultural correction included lack of knowledge about the local context, fixing Korean classroom discourse as if it were American classroom discourse, and reproducing orientalism in the local educational setting. Cases of cultural continuity included using comparison to consider the cultural reality of the milieu, creating new knowledge for the local milieu, and learning as a dynamic ongoing process. Implications of this research are discussed including the important realization that EMI should be managed by subject specialists who are trained in language education and have knowledge of the students' needs and discourse in the L1 and in the local context.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성들이 문화 간 차이에서 오는 스트레스를 해소하고 원만한 가정생활을 누리기 위해서 그들에게 제공할 수 있는 사회복지실천방안을 모색하고자 한다. 연구 결과에서는 첫째, 문화 간 차이 극복하기 위한 실천방안이 필요하다. 효과적인 문화 간 차이를 극복하기 위해서는 문화적으로 다양한 내담자를 위해 그들의 인종, 문화, 민족, 성별, 성적 지향의 배경에 부합하는 개입양식을 사용하고 목표를 설정하는 것이다. 둘째, 전문교육인력의 양성이 필요하다. 전문인력 양성을 위해 기존의 사회복지 과목에 문화적 다양성에 관한 내용이 다루어져야 한다. 셋째, 관련법의 재정비가 필요하다. 다문화가족지원법은 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 한국가족문화의 이해라든가, 결혼이주여성 상담이라는 항목이 결여되어 있는 등 보완의 필요성이 계속해서 대두되고 있다. 결론적으로, 결혼여성이민자들은 일상생활의 여러 측면에서 한국생활이 자국의 생활과 다르다는 점을 인식하게 되어 적응하는 과정에서 많은 인내심과 높은 수준의 노력을 하게 된다. 따라서, 이를 뒷받침할 수 있는 사회복지실천방안이 요구된다.

In recent years, as many native English speakers are working in Asia to as English teachers, team teaching with local teachers has been commonly implemented within the Korean EFL classroom. Using qualitative case studies, this paper aims to explore native English-speaking teachers' (NESTs) perceptions of team teaching and their challenges at different secondary Korean schools. The study documents the challenges faced by three foreign teachers embedded in intercultural teaching teams. The data shows that common challenges include vague role distribution among teachers, problems presented by mixed levels of students, large classes, and students' low valuation during foreign teacher's classes, which go ungraded. The study calls for serious governmental efforts to change these fundamental problems and closely examine local factors that strongly affect team teaching practices before initiating a system of importing foreign teachers without proper preparation.

다국적 선원으로 구성된 선박환경에서 근무하는 선원들에게는 원활한 의사소통을 위한 영어구사능력뿐만 아니라 서로 다른 문화에 적절히 대응하고 융합하는 이문화 커뮤니케이션 능력함양이 절대적으로 요구된다 할 것이다. 특히 필리핀, 중국, 인도, 일본, 인도네시아, 한국, 미얀마를 비롯한 아시아 선원들이 전 세계 선원시장에서 차지하는 비중이 50%에 달하는 점과, 이들 국가들이 영어를 모국어로 사용하고 있지 않은 점을 고려할 때, 아시아 지역 선원들에 대한 해사영어 교육훈련의 중요성은 아무리 강조하여도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 아시아해사영어교육센터에 대한 구성과 역할 및 향후 추진방향 등을 제시하고자 한다.

이 연구의 목적은 한국 전통 과학 소재인 앙부일구 과학 활동에서 나타나는 탈북 청소년들의 목소리를 통해 그들의 과학 학습 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 우리는 탈북 청소년들과 다른 교육적, 문화적 배경과 연령을 가진 다른 두 개 집단을 비교했다. 본 연구에 적용된 앙부일구 프로그램은 시간에 대한 의미 있는 질문, 일상생활 지식, 한국 전통 과학 지식, 서양 현대 과학 지식을 포함한다. 또 수업 과정은 교사와 학생 간 상호 작용과 실험 활동으로 이루어졌다. 이 프로그램은 탈북 청소년 집단, 초등 과학 우수아 집단, 고등 과학 심화 집단의 세 집단에 적용 후 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 드러난 탈북 청소년들의 과학 학습 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 탈북 청소년들에게 시간의 의미는 생활속에 녹아 있는 자연 그 자체다. 그들은 자연의 시간에 익숙하고 생활 경험이 풍부하다. 둘째, 탈북 청소년은 보완적이고 배려하는, 그리고 인간의 다양한 측면을 고려하는 과학을 선호한다. 이는 새롭고 실용적인 과학을 선호하는 다른 집단들과는 대조적이다. 셋째, 탈북 학생들은 과학 개념 지식이 부족한 반면 일상생활 지식은 풍부하다. 이들의 언어적 표현도 과학적이기 보다는 일상적이다. 넷째, 탈북 학생들은 과학적 사고보다는 일상적 사고에 익숙하다. 이 결과를 통해 한국 전통 과학 소재의 과학 활동 프로그램이 탈북 학생들에게 새로운 과학 지식과 문화적 자긍심을 주고, 그들의 민족적 정체성을 확인할 수 있는 기회를 만드는 계기가 되었다. 한국의 전통 과학 소재는 탈북 학생과 우리 과학 교육 과정의 간문화적 장을 만들어 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As the public is already aware, baby food has a significant effect on a baby's physical and mental health. It is also very important because choice of baby food forms proper eating habits, which will affect health in the future. In particular, recognition of appropriate baby food by the mother or the primary care provider is even more important. Although many studies have been conducted on this matter for domestic housewives, no studies have been conducted on married immigrant housewives whose numbers are increasing every year. A survey was conducted on the recognition and current situation of baby food preparation by mothers living in Gangwon Province with children 6 to 36-months-old. The purpose of the study was to research the level of understanding of baby food by immigrant housewives given that they were raised in different environments with different eating habits and child raising norms. And additional purpose was to provide proper educational material and direction for choosing appropriate baby food. The results showed significant differences depending on the nationality and age of the mother. Moreover, the results showed an insufficient understanding of baby food but a high desire for education, as mothers did not receive enough support from society. Therefore, necessary education should be provided systematically after mothers fully learn to communicate in Korean. These mothers need continuous attention and support, so they can settle in this country as wives, daughters-in-law, and mothers. Moreover, the needed professional education should be provided so that the mothers can learn traditional Korean eating habits and understand differences in the culture and environment between countries. As the selection of baby food forms the basis of future eating habits and the foundation for good health, proper education should be available to establish healthy intercultural families.
