Opening Address Yong-Yae Park (Conference Chair, Seoul National University) Good morning, distinguished scholars, honorable guests, presenters, and participants. It is my honor as the conference chair to welcome you all to the 2014 KATE International Conference at Seoul National University. The theme of this year’s conference, “Making Connections in ELT: Form, Meaning, and Function”, highlights a very timely issue in our field and gives us the opportunity to fit together the puzzle pieces of accumulated knowledge in areas such as focus-on-form, form-function mapping, and CLT so that we can continue to develop best practices that are grounded in research. I anticipate the insightful discussions to be led by prominent invited speakers and more than 100 presenters over the course of the next two days. I am hopeful that this conference will offer unique contributions to the discourse of our discipline. A few weeks ago, in my Advanced English Grammar class, I had the opportunity to connect the theme of our conference to classroom practice, which I’d like to share with you today. My students and I were exploring the use of counterfactual conditional sentences in the acknowledgement section of doctoral dissertations. I highlighted the sentence “Had it not been for her help, I would never have come to love linguistics,” as an example of connecting form and function. Being very grateful to the students in the class who were recruited to be volunteers for this conference, I made a promise to them to say this sentence, as a token of my gratitude for their assistance: This conference would not have been possible had it not been for our dedicated student volunteers’ assistance. Starting with this, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all those who have contributed towards the success of this conference. Firstly, I am indebted to the conference committee members who have been working diligently to make this conference possible. It has been a great privilege to work with each and every one of them. Next, I would like to thank the conference presenters, chairs, and attendees, without whose interest and participation, this conference would simply be insignificant. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge KATE’s sponsors and Seoul National University for their assistance in organizing this

Fifteen international learners were purposively sampled from a Korean university; these participants were then given an extensive open-ended interview to elicit information about educational experiences. Data analysis revealed five main issues: a dichotomy between Korean and international learners, a dichotomy between Chinese and other international students, a “sink-or-swim” philosophy toward international education, cultural/behavioral differences, and a lack of cultural understanding. Review of the issues revealed an underlying conflict between Confucian and other diverse philosophical perspectives. Although international learners from Confucian backgrounds understood and followed the existing hierarchical social system, other international learners appeared to have difficulty adjusting, which left them isolated from their peers.

  • The Unificationist Funerary Tradition
    religions Article The Unificationist Funerary Tradition Lukas Pokorny Department of Religious Studies, University of Vienna, 1010 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] Received: 22 April 2020; Accepted: 17 May 2020; Published: 20 May 2020 Abstract: This paper explores the distinctive funerary tradition of the Unification Movement, a globally active South Korean new religious movement founded in 1954. Its funerary tradition centres on the so-called Seonghwa (formerly Seunghwa) Ceremony, which was introduced in January 1984. The paper traces the doctrinal context and the origin narrative before delineating the ceremony itself in its Korean expression, including its preparatory and follow-up stages, as well as its short-lived adaptation for non-members. Notably, with more and more first-generation adherents passing away—most visibly in respect to the leadership culminating in the Seonghwa Ceremony of the founder himself in 2012—the funerary tradition has become an increasingly conspicuous property of the Unificationist lifeworld. This paper adds to a largely uncharted area in the study of East Asian new religious movements, namely the examination of their distinctive deathscapes, as spelled out in theory and practice. Keywords: Unification Church; funeral; death; ritual; new religious movement; Korea; East Asia 1. Introduction “‘Death’ is a sacred word. It is not a major expression for sorrow and pain. [ ::: ] The moment one enters the spiritual world is a time that one enters a world of joy and victory with the earthly life having blossomed, the fruits borne, and the grain ladled. It is a moment we [i.e., those staying behind] should rejoice. It should be a time when we celebrate wholeheartedly.

  • Differences in an Organization's Cultural Functions Between High and Low-Performance University Soccer Teams
    DOI 10.26773/smj.201003 ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER Differences in an Organization’s Cultural Functions between High and Low-Performance University Soccer Teams Kang-Won You1 1Jeonju University, Department of Sports Coaching, Jeonju, Korea Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyse the differences in cultural functions between high- and low-performance university soccer teams in South Korea. First, this study focused on the cultural functions of university soccer teams, such as managing change, achieving goals, coordinated teamwork, and cultural strength. Second, each cultural function of university soccer teams was investigated in relation to team performance. Using random cluster sampling, 316 players from four high- and four low-performing university soccer teams registered with the Korean Football Association (KFA) participated in the study. The Organizational Culture Assessment Questionnaire (OCAQ, Sashkin, 2001) was used as an instrument to measure the organization’s cultural functions. The results of the study showed that there were significant differences in cultural functions between high- and low-performance teams. High-performance teams were good at adapting changes in their environment, were effective in achieving goals, had coherent and aligned goals and shared values, and agreed on those values. It can be concluded that cultural functions are strong factors that make a difference in team performance.

  • Communicative Language Teaching in Korean Public Schools: an Informal Assessment
    The English Connection March 2001 Volume 5 / Issue 2 A bimonthly publication of Korea Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages March 2001, Vol. 5, No. 2 Communicative Language Teaching in Korean Public Schools: An Informal Assessment by Dr. Samuel McGrath Introduction his article focuses on the current status of communicative language teaching in the public schools in T Korea. In order to promote communicative competence in the public schools, in 1992, the Ministry of Education mandated that English teachers use a communicative approach in class. They envisioned communi- cative language teaching (CLT) replacing the traditional audio-lingual method in middle school English teaching and the dominant grammar-translation method of high school teaching. The new approach was supposed to start in the schools in 1995. Six years have passed since the policy was adopted. However, no formal assessment by the government seems to have been done on the success or otherwise of the program. continued on page 6 Empowering Students with Learning Strategies . 9 Douglas Margolis Reading for Fluency . 11 Joshua A.
