The English Connection Volume 15, Issue 1 THE ENGLISH CONNECTION A Publication of Korea Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages The Ideal English Teacher and the Native Speaker Commodity By Barry Kavanagh t has arguably become more difficult to define what is meant by the term native speaker. Medgyes (1999) calls it“ a hornet’s nest, fraught I with ideological, sociopolitical, and stinging existential implications” (p. 9). This article examines who a native speaker is, but also explores the role of the native speaker and how perceptions influence the ELT profession and practice. Defining the“ Native Speaker” Davies (2003) offers a list of characteristics that can be attributed to the native speaker. These include: (a) They are born in an English-speaking country. (b) The language is acquired in childhood in an English-speaking What’s Inside? Continued on page 8. TeachersTeaching Helping Conceptions Teachers By Dr.Thomas Thomas S. C. S.C.

We began with the annual Leadership Retreat in Daejeon. This was the largest gathering of the leadership of KOTESOL at both the National and Chapter Tlevels in a long time for KOTESOL. On a very cold and blustery winter weekend in January, it was very heartening to see the large attendance and a significant number of new people taking on leadership roles. The new leadership was not only on the Chapter level, but on the National level as well. The attendees were both young and energetic, and comprised of a large number of Koreans. I believe this bodes well for the organization and reflects the increased diversity of membership. The future of our organization is in capable hands. This is a year of more changes for President’s KOTESOL. Some of which have already been instated, but others are still being Message addressed as the objectives are not yet completed. Take a moment to view our new website at koreatesol.org to see what is available, as it has a whole new look and many new features for everyone. Bryan Stoakley, Chris Surridge, and John Philips should be congratulated for all of their hard work. The process of becoming a KOTESOL member has been made easier and now allows for it to be done in either English or Korean. Also, please remember to go to the website to update your information so that you continue to get TEC and other notices. The National Council now has a Policies and Procedures Manual that was approved to guide us in our day-to-day management of the organization that will be passed on to future Council members. This spring we hope to publish an issue of the Korea TESOL Journal and work Robert “Bob” Capriles towards attaining accreditation from the appropriate government agencies. This Korea TESOL President will give our members and other members of academia a quality place to publish their work. Everyone is encouraged to contact the publications chair with any submissions they may have. The 1st Vice-President, Dr. Mijae Lee, will be hosting a meeting of Chapter Presidents in the spring to assist them in managing their chapters; sharing new ideas; and working closer with the National leadership. We have added a new chapter, Yongin-Gyeonggi, and are looking forward to great things from them in the future. Later this year, we aim to have the membership card machine available and each member will be given a permanent membership card with many new and exciting benefits along with it. I will keep you up to date on this progress. I want to encourage everyone to participate in KOTESOL and to continue to communicate with me and the other leaders of KOTESOL with any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions that you may have. Thank you and have a great year in 2011. 5 The English Connection Spring 2011 Volume 15, Issue 1 2011: The Year of the Rabbit he characteristics of this year’s oriental zodiac Chris Raymond describes form-focused sign, the Rabbit, reflects quite well the nature of instruction as part of the CLT classroom as a means T this issue of TEC, since the year of the Rabbit, is for students to better acquire grammar forms and known to be the year of unexpected changes and new use them correctly in Grammar Glammar.

  • Broken Buddhas and Burning Temples: a Re-Examination of Anti- Buddhist Violence and Harassment in South Korea
    Broken Buddhas and Burning Temples: A Re-examination of Anti- Buddhist Violence and Harassment in South Korea YOUNG-HAE YOON DEPARTMENT OF BUDDHIST STUDIES COLLEGE OF BUDDHIST STUDIES AND CULTURE, DONGGUK UNIVERSITY, GYEONGJU CAMPUS [email protected] SHERWIN JONES PĀRAMITĀ COLLEGE, DONGGUK UNIVERSITY, GYEONGJU CAMPUS [email protected] ABSTRACT From 1982 through 2016, Korean media outlets have reported over 120 instances of vandalism, arson and harassment targeting Buddhist temples and facilities in South Korea. An extension of on-going tensions between South Korea’s Buddhist and Evangelical Protestant communities, this one-sided wave of violence and harassment has caused the destruction of numerous temple buildings and priceless historical artifacts, millions of USD in damages, and one death. This article surveys these incidents of anti-Buddhist vandalism, arson, and harassment, analyzing their general characteristics and summarizing major instances of each, before examining the frequency of these incidents within the wider chronology of recent Evangelical-Buddhist tensions. It then examines the responses from South Korea’s Buddhist and Evangelical communities and various government agencies, as well as the effects of these responses, before investigating the relationship between these incidents and the mainstream Evangelical doctrines of religious exclusivism, dominionism and spiritual warfare. The paper closes with a discussion of the need for further research into these incidents and the wider Evangelical-Buddhist tensions surveyed

ETH Library CULTURAL LABORATORY SEOUL Emergence, Narrative and Impact of Culturally Related Landscape Meanings Susann Valerie Ahn Doctoral Thesis ETH Zürich 2019 2 Abstract The dissertation Cultural Laboratory Seoul examines landscape restoration projects in the South Korean capital Seoul, which have influenced the urban fabric of the Korean capital since the 1980s. The landscape restoration projects have been supported by a paradigm shift from growth-oriented to environment-oriented approaches in Korean urban planning. In this context, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has sought means to convey traditional, historical and natural values through landscape restoration. In consequence, Seoul’s landscape elements—mountains, rivers, and valleys—have been cleared of apartment buildings and urban infrastructure, and afterwards have been greened. The challenge in many of these landscape restoration projects, however, has been to convey the traditional landscape meaning of these sites while meeting today’s landscape architectural standards and requirements as well as the needs of citizens. In order to gain a deeper understanding of how to deal with these challenges, the dissertation examines existing landscape restoration projects such as the restoration of Namsan (1990–2000), the restoration of Naksan (1997–2002), and the restoration of Inwangsan’s Suseongdong Valley (2007–2012).

  • University of Calgary a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
    UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Towards an Understanding of Korean Protestantism: The Formation of Christian-Oriented Sects, Cults, and Anti-Cult Movements in Contemporary Korea by Chang Han Kim A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES CALGARY, ALBERTA DECEMBER, 2007 © Chang Han Kim 2007 ISBN: 978-0-494-38219-6 Abstract By looking at the typology of church, sect, and cult, this research investigates the belief system of Korean Protestantism and its organizational variations. First, Korean Protestantism displays exclusive cultural and social attitudes compared with other Korean religious traditions. A heterodox infusion of religion in the Korean tradition began with the introduction of Roman Catholicism in the 19th century. It was Protestantism, however, which shook the traditional religious culture to its core by creating strong religious boundaries. Second, in spite of its relatively short history, Korean Protestantism took root in a non-Western culture to shape it in ways that are without parallel in Korean history. In the process, it developed a far more uniform conservative religious ethos than is found in the West. Third, Korean Protestantism gave birth to various dissident new religious bodies in the form of Christian-oriented sects and cults. Although most of these new religious groups originated within this conservative religious milieu, they vary considerably. These range from new and innovative movements in high tension with the surrounding society to others with relatively little difference in terms of traditional Christianity. Lastly, the Christian anti-cult movement, as one notable response to these new religions, seeks to amplify the exclusive tendencies of Korean Protestantism.
