Bilingual signs at an ‘English only’ Korean university: Place-making and ‘global’ space in higher education
Higher education in Korea has recently undergone drastic changes introduced by internationalisation policies aimed at global competitiveness in the educational markets. While the widespread student mobility has been studied by numerous scholars, little attention has been paid to both international and local students’ interpretations of the global culture created by the policy. In this paper, we explore the ways in which Korean and international s…
Whaling in Korea: Heritage, Framing, and Contention against International Norms
South Koreans in the city of Ulsan claim that eating whale meat is a tradition, but what is the role of SMOs in making whaling into a tradition identified with a local identity? In following account of a confrontation that took place in Korea between anti-whaling protesters from Greenpeace and local defenders of whaling, it is shown that tradition is not an inevitable outcome of conserving the past; instead, it is an outcome of mobilization, fram…
The Bangudae Petroglyph: Whaling and Re-modernisation in a South Korean Industrial City
The commemoration of whaling is a recent form of consumer culture in the Korean city of Ulsan, where the utilisation of the Bangudae Petroglyph as the emblem of the city is part of a wider process of re-modernisation in Korea. Starting with the concept of re-modernisation, developed by Ulrich Beck, I consider the extension of the concept by Bruno Latour, who has endowed it with a materialist emphasis. From the Latourean perspective, the petroglyp…
A case study of international instructors’ experiences of English-medium instruction policy in a Korean university
In the midst of increasing global economic competition, higher education (HE) institutions in many non-English-speaking societies have expanded the extent of internationalization through the recruitment of international faculty members to their campuses and the adoption of educational policies such as English-medium instruction (EMI). Despite growing diversity in HE, little is known concerning the international faculty members’ perceptions and pr…
Nonnative English-Speaking Professors’ Experiences of English-Medium Instruction and Their Perceived Roles of the Local Language
This study examines the experiences of nonnative English-speaking faculty instructors teaching subject courses in English-medium instruction (EMI) at a Korean university and reveals the perceived roles of the local language in the context. The data consist of questionnaire responses of 91 Korean professors and qualitative interviews with 15 who had answered the questionnaires. Findings showed that the participants perceived the local students’ pe…
Destroying Patriarchy: Struggle for Sexual Equality in Mexican‐American Corridos and Anglo‐American Ballads
Can EFL Speakers Communicate in English-mediated Classes: A Case of a Liberal Arts Class for Engineering Students in Korea
The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to explore what factors prevent English as a foreign language (EFL) students from participating in English-medium instruction classes; and (2) to examine how dialogic teaching techniques enhance students’ participation in classroom interaction. Utilizing the notions of “communicative competence” and “truncated repertoire,” we first investigated the barriers to communication in classrooms. We next examined…
The safety of bycatch: South Korean responses to the moratorium on commercial whaling
When the global moratorium on commercial whaling was implemented in 1986, Korea prohibited whaling; however, there was no effort to build the capacity of social institutions to guide local residents to cooperate with the policy. Utilizing a social ecology approach, this research examines the practice of eating whale meat in Ulsan, South Korea, to illustrate the importance of culture for attaining the social acceptance of wildlife conservation pol…
Emerging culture of English-medium instruction in Korea: Experiences of Korean and international students
This study aims to contrastively examine Korean and international students' experiences of taking subject courses at a Korean university. Focusing on the viewpoints of the students, rather than central authorities, we attempt to reveal how language use and cultural factors are interpenetrated in the praxis of English-medium instruction (EMI). The data consist of questionnaire responses of 249 Koreans and 61 international students from non-English…
State Formation and Social Memory in Sandinista Politics
The 2006 Nicaraguan elections saw a victory for Daniel Ortega, who has continually been identified as an icon of the revolutionary era in which the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN) destroyed the Somoza regime and formed a revolutionary government. Ortega's success can be better understood by viewing the Nicaraguan Revolution as a state formation process in which popular culture is a field of conflict between social groups. The conf…
Emergence of Nationalist Identity in Armed Insurrections: A Comparison of Iraq and Nicaragua
This article relates the similarities of the Nicaraguan insurrection of 1978-1979 and the Iraqi insurrection of 2004. One of the major factors in common between the historical insurrection in Nicaragua and the insurrection occurring in Iraq is the inability to distinguish clearly between armed civilians and members of the insurgencies. As a result, the armed forces attempting to extinguish the insurgency cease to make a distinction between insurg…
