Uncovering monolingual ideologies embedded in South Korean multicultural education
Despite an increasing number of children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds living in South Korea, their languages have not received sufficient attention in Korean schools and society. This article aims to identify the language ideologies operating in Korea by examining the ways languages are situated in multicultural research and practices. To present the background of the study, the author reviews the demographic complexity …
Dialogue within and dialogue between
The purpose of this paper is to document dialogic reflections of two researchers (Shin Ji and Eun-Young) who had conducted collaborative projects on education for youth with North Korean refugee backgrounds. By employing duoethnography, conversations were conducted on the following questions: What are the experiences that impacted our researcher identities? What is the transformative learning emerged from our engagement in NK research? How do we …
English for North Korean refugees in South Korea
Mee-Soo was a good student in North Korea. She came to South Korea in her early teens, and South Korean state policy for North Korean defectors enabled her to gain entry into a decent university in Seoul. She majored in Business Management and, when she had to choose her sub-major, she chose Accounting over Marketing and Human Resources because she thought she could avoid English. Achieving CPA (Certified Public Accountant) status was the goal fo…
Becoming Me in Third Space
In this study, the authors explored curricular practices of media education for North Korean refugee youths resettled in South Korea, and investigated the impacts of the media education program on their identity construction. Guided by third space theory and framed within a qualitative research paradigm, this media education program was developed by a group of North and South Korean teaching artists. Multimodal data collected throughout the first…
“We Got Rid of Her Sentence for Revenge”
This year-long qualitative study examined how recently immigrated Korean adolescents use certain types of strategies while participating in a L2 writing activity in the ESL classroom. The use of L2 learner strategies was found to be 1) negotiated through the interplay between prescriptive literacy practice and learner resilience, 2) influenced by the power relations associated with levels of English proficiencies, and 3) related to interracial te…
A Sociocultural Perspective on Second Language Learner Strategies
Studies on second language (L2) learners' strategies tended to characterize strategies as individual learners' cognitive predispositions or personality traits, leaving a critical question unanswered: Why do learners use different strategies in different contexts? From a sociocultural perspective, this article pursued this question by focusing on the impacts of the classroom context and the broader social context on the use of L2 learner strategie…
The Mediational Role of Classroom Practices During the Silent Period
For this article we aimed to understand the emergence of English as a second language for a newly immigrated Mexican student, a native speaker of Spanish, enrolled in a mainstream kindergarten classroom, who was undergoing the silent period (Krashen, 1981). Applying ecological approaches that emphasize learners in relationship with their environment, we analyzed three particular classroom practices and their respective mediational roles for the d…
Korean born, Korean‐American high school students' entry into understanding race and racism through social interactions and conversations
This paper explores how a group of Korean born, Korean‐American high school students came to understand race and racism in the US through social interactions and conversations, with particular attention paid to the locality of time, space and people engaged. Therefore, we explore not only how race and racism are socially constructed in the lives of the participants, but also how social interactions and daily conversations play a critical role for…
