The English Connection Volume 12, Issue 4 THE ENGLISH CONNECTION A Publication of Korea Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages Teaching Culture: First Steps By Lee Negin he challenges facing English language teachers in Korea are daunting. We have to teach content, break through so-called T“affective filters,”deal with unrealistic expectations from parents, teachers, and administrators; with classroom management issues, and all of the assorted administrative tasks foisted on us. If that is not enough, recently we have been asked to teach“ culture”along with English. This begs the questions: What is culture, and which aspects should we teach? Most teachers feel unprepared, by education and/or experience to teach culture, and there are several reasons why the integration of culture and language teaching is difficult. This article will attempt to address some of What’s Inside? Continued on page 8.

We have a nice balance of experienced and relatively new KOTESOLers, and I am honored to be Iworking with all of them. KOTESOL is often accused of being too practical (as opposed to too academic), of being too foreign-focused (as opposed to truly melding Korean values with those of other cultures), or of simply trying to meet the needs of too many of those with a stake in English teaching in Korea. My feeling, however, is different. President’s On my bad days, I often refer to KOTESOL as the“ black hole”or many- armed“ Octopus”which steals away my weekends and free time, but on my Message good days (and there are many more of these), I am eternally grateful to KOTESOL’s people for providing me with my sense of“ home”in Korea. Whenever I am at a KOTESOL event, I always feel the strong sense of community that we have worked so hard to build. However, with our nine chapters all across the country, seven currently listed SIGs, and the regional and national conferences and events, although we are without question meeting the needs of our chapter members as professionals, are we meeting their social needs as well? My connections to KOTESOL have benefitted me in many ways, including pulling me into projects like textbook writing and curriculum design, and providing a pretext for the formation of meaningful and deep friendships. Above and beyond all the professional and educational benefits are these friendships, and I sincerely hope that our leadership this year will help KOTESOL achieve a bit more of that sense of“ friendship,”“home,”and “family”for our members - both new and old. The annual Leadership Retreat, is set to deal with specific ideas, goals, and objectives for 2009 and beyond. However, I would like each of you to also think about how KOTESOL can better serve your needs and share those Tory S. Thorkelson, M.Ed. thoughts with your Chapter, SIG, or National leaders when the opportunity Korea TESOL President presents itself. 5 The English Connection December 2008 Volume 12, Issue 4 THE ENGLISH CONNECTION Contributor Guidelines The English Connection welcomes previously unpublished articles in the following categories: Feature Articles: These should be 2,000-3,500 words in length and should present novel ESL/EFL methodology, classroom practice, materials design, teacher education, or inquiry and research applicable to this publication's readership.

Baker Professor of Education and Sociology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Soo-yong Byun Associate Professor of Education Maryellen Schaub Associate Professor of Education Education and Public Policy Liying Luo Assistant Professor of Sociology and Demography Katerina Bodovski Associate Professor of Education Chair of Graduate Program, Educational Theory and Policy *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT Since 1970, when Korean researchers published the first journal article from their country to be cataloged in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), science production has exponentially expanded among Korean universities. This rapid growth was not driven by a few specific institutions. Rather, it was possible because virtually all universities with STEM programs, regardless of their institutional mission, participated in scholarly publishing. Meanwhile, the Korean government implemented a special research funding initiative, Brain Korea 21, in 1999 to stimulate science production among universities. Using multilevel linear regression models, this dissertation examines the effect of the BK 21 program; it finds that BK 21 had a positive effect on publications, but that its effect turned insignificant when more comparable groups of universities were examined. This research also demonstrates that the scientific collaboration network in Korea has moved from one strongly dominated by a few specific actors to one with more actors participating more equally and significantly.
