  • A Needs Analysis of English for Korean Naval Officers
    A NEEDS ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH FOR KOREAN NAVAL OFFICERS BY KI-CHAN PARK THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching of English as a Second Language in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Professor Numa P. Markee Professor Randall Sadler ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to conduct a needs analysis for the English courses offered at the educational institutions of the Korean navy. A comprehensive survey and interviews were conducted to identify the target situations and tasks for which Korean naval officers must use English. Also investigated were their wants for the English courses and their perceptions of their own use of English. Further data about officers’ needs was drawn from a literature review of published books and newspaper articles about the navy. Fourteen Korean naval officers were then interviewed, and a survey of 64 Korean naval officers was administered. A survey of three U.S. naval officers was also administered to achieve triangulation of the data. Through these research methods, six main target situations and 44 target tasks were identified along with the participants’ perceived frequency, difficulty and criticality of these target situations. In addition, this study reveals that Korean officers’ biggest weakness in their engagement with target tasks is their insufficient speaking skill, in spite of their great desire for improving it. The findings of this study support the adoption of TBLT and the learning-centered approach to ESP by English for Military Purposes Courses, in which not only the language but also necessary knowledge can be taught together for the learners’ successful performance of the target tasks.

However, little is known about how much impact archival holdings actually have on historical research, what role they play in building public knowledge about a historical event and how they contribute to the process of recording history. The case of the No Gun Ri incident provides a good example of how archival materials play a role in historical discussions and a good opportunity to look at archival contributions.

  • The Causes of the Korean War, 1950-1953
    The Causes of the Korean War, 1950-1953 Ohn Chang-Il Korea Military Academy ABSTRACT The causes of the Korean War (1950-1953) can be examined in two categories, ideological and political. Ideologically, the communist side, including the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea, desired to secure the Korean peninsula and incorporate it in a communist bloc. Politically, the Soviet Union considered the Korean peninsula in the light of Poland in Eastern Europe—as a springboard to attack Russia—and asserted that the Korean government should be “loyal” to the Soviet Union. Because of this policy and strategic posture, the Soviet military government in North Korea (1945-48) rejected any idea of establishing one Korean government under the guidance of the United Nations. The two Korean governments, instead of one, were thus established, one in South Korea under the blessing of the United Nations and the other in the north under the direction of the Soviet Union. Observing this Soviet posture on the Korean peninsula, North Korean leader Kim Il-sung asked for Soviet support to arm North Korean forces and Stalin fully supported Kim and secured newly-born Communist China’s support for the cause. Judging that it needed a buffer zone against the West and Soviet aid for nation building, the Chinese government readily accepted a role to aid North Korea, specifically, in case of full American intervention in the projected war. With full support from the Soviet Union and comradely assistance from China, Kim Il-sung attacked South Korea with forces that were better armed, equipped, and prepared than their counterparts in South Korea.

Abstract: In the ergonomic design of wearable products such as an oxygen mask, systematic design methods including the analysis of anthropometric information, evaluation of fit, and product design need to utilize 3D human scan data. The present study intends to develop a virtual fit analysis method that generates an ergonomic shape of an oxygen mask for fighter pilots based on 3D facial scans. The proposed virtual fit analysis method enables iteratively to revise the shape of an oxygen mask until an appropriate level of fit between the mask and a group of pilot faces is achieved. The proposed method of virtual fit analysis and design optimization was applied to find ergonomic shapes of oxygen masks for four size categories (small narrow, medium narrow, medium wide, and large wide) to accommodate 336 pilots of the Republic of Korea Air Force.

  • Employing TBLT at a Military-Service Academy in Korea: Learners' Reactions to and Necessary Adaptation of TBLT
    105 English Teaching, Vol. 71, No. 4, Winter 2016 DOI: 10.15858/engtea.71.4.201612.105 Employing TBLT at a Military-Service Academy in Korea: ∗ Learners’ Reactions to and Necessary Adaptation of TBLT Kichan Park (Republic of Korea Naval Academy) Park, Kichan. (2016). Employing TBLT at a military-service academy in Korea: Learners’ reactions to and necessary adaptation of TBLT, English Teaching, 71(4), 105-139. The necessity to adapt theoretical second language pedagogies to a context of instruction has been argued in the literature for a long time. This case study introduces an attempt to realize a context approach (Bax, 2003) to Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) implemented at a Korean military-service academy. Considering the alleged need for studies that investigate learners’ reaction to TBLT in actual English classrooms, an Action Research project was conducted at this institution. Based on the data collected through two surveys of 80 students, interviews with 25 students, video recordings of 10 lessons and the teacher’s observation of the course throughout one semester, this study identifies several challenges for employing TBLT in this EFL context such as the learners’ lack of L2 interactions and attention to feedback. This paper discusses ways to adapt TBLT to the English courses offered at Korean military- service academies while cautioning against excessive optimism for the effects of TBLT in some EFL contexts. The findings would contribute to understanding the reality of English classrooms at a Korean college and drawing implications for designing English programs suitable for EFL college students. Key words: Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), EFL contexts, learners’ reactions, College English courses in Korea, military-service academies 1.
