    New Horizons in Education, Vol.57, No.3 (Special Issue), December 2009 Where we are now: a review of service-learning among SLAN Colleges and universities in Asia Florence E. McCarthy International Christian University Abstract Background: Service-learning in the Service-Learning Asian Network (SLAN), is organized as part of the academic structure of member institutions, and includes both international and community (domestic) service-learning. SLAN began with the exchange of students between SLAN institutions and has progressed to multicultural service-learning exchange programs and collaborative research. Aim: The intent of this article is to illustrate the development of Asian service-learning by reviewing the progress that has been made in six SLAN service-learning programs, illustrating differences and shared characteristics. These include: consistency in programs, multicultural exchange, and collaborative research. Lessons learned and main outcomes of the research are presented. Argument: Among lessons learned are the importance of multicultural programs to promote greater acceptance and understanding of socio-cultural differences by students; the importance of student preparation before service, and community agency orientation to enhance the reciprocities of exchange between students, agency staff, and local people. Student outcomes include personal growth, enhanced social skills, intercultural learning, and increased academic abilities. Conclusions: Progress has been made in institutionalizing service-learning among SLAN institutions.

    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.

    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.
