    South Korean Implementation of Communicative Language Teaching by Griffin Welshons a Master's Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfi

    South Korean Implementation of Communicative Language Teaching By Griffin Welshons A Master’s Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of The Requirements of the Degree of Masters of Arts in TESOL ____________________________ Adviser: Douglas Margolis, Ph.D. ____________________________ Date University of Wisconsin-River Falls 2020 Abstract This literature review identifies strategies for improving South Korea’s National Curriculum policy. Communicative language teaching (CLT) is the mandated approach for South Korea’s English education. Currently, CLT in South Korea has seen minimal adoption despite continued CLT-based government policies. This paper will first identify South Korea’s guiding English education principles to understand why CLT has not seen widespread adoption. Next, we examine the historical roots and origins of the policy. Afterward, a comparison between South Korea and other CLT English programs in Asia will address the similarities and differences between CLT practices in the region. South Korea’s pursuit of CLT is then juxtaposed to the vocal disapproval the policy faces. The paper then turns to an examination of strategies to address the main concerns voiced against CLT. These strategies will culminate in a demo lesson unit based on the CLT guidelines. This demo lesson serves as a model for how South Korean teachers might successfully incorporate CLT.

    The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces

    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

    Mesozoic Granites and Associated Mineralization in South Korea

    The Ishihara Symposium: Granites and Associated Metallogenesis Mesozoic Granites and Associated Mineralization in South Korea Yong-Joo Jwa Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 660-701, Korea; GEMOC Key Centre, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia 1. Tectonic Setting and Distribution of Mesozoic Granites Tectonically, South Korea can be divided into four provinces based on the distribution of sedimentary basins upon Precambrian basements. The pre-Cretaceous basement comprises two Precambrian massifs, the Yeongnam Massif in the South and the Gyeonggi Massif in the north, which belong to the Sino-Korean microcontinent. They exhibit Sinian tectonic trends (SW-NE direction) and are made up of Precambrian gneiss complexes with some Proterozoic to Jurassic metasedimentary cover (Lee, 1987). The Okcheon Belt between the two massifs consists of a northeastern non- to weakly-metamorphosed Paleozoic- Mesozoic sequence which grades into the Okcheon metamorphic belt to the southwest. The Cretaceous sedimentary basins in South Korea were formed by transtension driving the movement of the sinistral strike-slip faults (Lee, 1999). The sedimentary strata, the so-called Gyeongsang Supergroup, comprises non-marine sedimentary and andesitic to rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks. The basins overlie the pre-Cretaceous sequences with a marked unconformity. The products of Cretaceous granitic magmatism are quite evident in two large Cretaceous basins; the Gyeongsang Basin and the Yeongdong-Gwangju Basin. Mesozoic granites of South Korea have been divided into two groups based on intrusion age: the younger granites of late Cretaceous to early Tertiary age, and the older granites of Jurassic age (Lee, 1974; Kim, 1975; Hong, 1987).
  • The Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology All MEST Up?

    The Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology All MEST Up?

    The Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology All MEST up? Joseph Mondello Global Leadership and Organization Professor Dongjae Kim December 15, 2008 Overview For historical, social and cultural reasons, education holds a special position in Korean society. A rigorous education, marked by years of single-minded study tested in the crucible of a life-changing, all-encompassing examination has been a rite of passage for the high-bred Korean for centuries. Since the advent of the Republic of Korea education has retained its central role in society while gaining a new significance as a means of social mobility through universal education and a perceived meritocracy brought about by the focus on standardized testing. At the same time, questions related to education have been applied to the other pressing issues of this modern nation. Two modern strains of thought have been especially influential on the development of the modern South Korean education system. The first of these is South Korean society's the emphasis on codifying Koreanness, fairness and, in recent years, balanced regional development. The other is the focus on development, progress, and the development of South Korea as a leading nation with world-class institutions and human resources. No government agency better reflects the interplay of these two opposing drives than the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The Ministry has long been a battle ground over which the struggle between fostering the best and brightest and raising the standards of education for all has played out. In this highly politicized environment the MEST has wrestled with serving out its mission while at the same time facing uncertainty over what that mission is.

Brehm U.S. Embassy, Seoul Prepared by: Susan B. Phillips Seh Won KIM Report Highlights: This report provides information about the market for U.S. processed food products outside of the capital city of Seoul. Increasingly, FAS Cooperators, MAP participants, and exporters are expanding their efforts to include these other major Korean urban areas. While Seoul marketers and consumers lead the country in innovation, the ATO finds growing interest in provincial areas for U.S. processed food products. Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Unscheduled Report Seoul ATO [KS2], KS GAIN Report #KS3011 Page 1 of 8 MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PROVINCIAL CITIES INTRODUCTION There are seven metropolitan cities in Korea: Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Kwangju, Daejon and Ulsan. In order to be designated as a metropolitan city in Korea the population of the city must exceed one million. The combined population of these six metropolitan cities except Seoul (of which the city population is 10 million) is about 13 million. The Seoul-Incheon "corridor" comprises a largely urban area with a population of about 22 million people. Although the markets in the cities outside Seoul are still small, they are growing. There is potential for faster growth of imported food products in these provincial areas, while the future growth rate of the market in Seoul slows. In the past, many imported processed foods were not widely available in the retail sector of provincial metropolitan cities, but thanks to the launching of discount stores and large-scale department stores in recent years, many processed foods are now available at these outlets in these other cities.

  • Imagining Extensive Speaking for Korean EFL

    Imagining Extensive Speaking for Korean EFL

    Extensive Speaking in Korean EFL 1 Imagining Extensive Speaking for Korean EFL Sarah Gu Seoul Women’s University Eric D. Reynolds* Woosong University Gu, Sarah & Reynolds, Eric D. (2013). Imagining Extensive Speaking for Korean EFL. Modern English Education, XX(X), XXX-XXX. Address: Woosong University; TESOL-MALL department; Head of TESOL-MALL Department; 509 Woosong Language Institute Building; 196-5 Jayang-Dong; Dong-Gu; Daejeon, Korea; 300-718 e-mail: [email protected] telephones: 82-42-630-9245 (office); 82-10-4039-4392 (mobile) The divide between receptive and productive language skills is one of the fundamental conundra of language education in general and of TESOL in particular. The ongoing debate regarding the relative influence of input (e.g. Krashen, 1989) and output (e.g. Swain, 1993) in second language acquisition and proficiency is at the heart of our investigation. Our contention is that output is vitally important to proficiency, if not acquisition, and that the principles that Krashen (1989) and others outline for extensive reading can be used to imagine a design for extensive speaking activities to enhance students’ oral production. In a six-week intensive immersion course we asked these mixed gender university students to record daily monologues on free topics with the teacher providing encouragement but no corrective feedback. At the beginning and end of the course we measured their fluency, proficiency and attitudes to judge the impact of the new pedagogy using both quantitative and qualitative measures. Even this minimal modification in the curriculum produced significantly better results in fluency, proficiency and attitude for the students in the extensive speaking group relative to the students receiving traditional instruction.
