  • Overseas Koreans, Language, and Ethn
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Identity, Second Language Acquisition, and Investment: Overseas Koreans, Language, and Ethnolinguistic Community Membership A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics by Christopher Joseph Dykas 2014 © Copyright by Christopher Joseph Dykas 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Identity, Second Language Acquisition, and Investment: Overseas Koreans, Language, and Ethnolinguistic Community Membership by Christopher Joseph Dykas Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Katrina Daly Thompson, Chair In this thesis I explore the intersection of identity and second language acquisition, in the form of investment (Kanno & Norton, 2003; Norton, 2000; Pavlenko & Norton, 2007), and as it pertains to the experiences of gyopo, or “overseas Koreans” (ethnic Koreans from abroad), living in Korea. In doing so, I hold three goals: (1) to uncover connections between overseas Koreans and their affinity for an imagined, transnational Korean community; (2) to outline ways in which overseas Koreans negotiate their identities as members of this community, particularly in regard to issues of language; and (3) to link this understanding of identity negotiation with consequences for Korean-language learning and teaching. In examining interviews I conducted with gyopo living in Korea between 2007 and 2010, I find that within a context of ethnolinguistic ii essentialism—one that links race, ethnicity, appearance, and language—overseas Koreans find their authenticity as ethnic Koreans challenged. Whereas mixed-race gyopo note that they are often looked at as “foreigners” in Korea, and thus little knowledge of Korean language and culture is expected of them, “full” Korean gyopo note that they are often understood to be Korean, and their Korean abilities are looked at as insufficient vis-à-vis an imagined native standard.

  • The Deterioration of the South Korean Real Estate Market and The
    The Deterioration of the South Korean Real Estate Market and the Response of the Government By Hidehiko Mukoyama Senior Economist Center for Pacific Business Studies Economics Department Japan Research Institute Summary 1. South Korea was the first major nation to recover from the recessionary slump triggered by the Lehman shock, and in 2010 it achieved 6.2% growth. One factor that could affect future economic performance as the underlying recovery trend continues is the expanding impact of a deteriorating real estate market. 2. Reasons for the worsening state of the real estate market include (1) government moves to strengthen measures designed to curb housing prices, which began to surge in 2005, (2) increased construction activity by real estate development companies in anticipation of bullish demand, and (3) the sudden deceleration of the economy after in the wake of the Lehman shock. 3. Also significant are structural factors, including the dramatic deceleration of new town development and population growth. The first phase of new town development was largely completed by the mid-1990s, but while a second phase was launched in the early 2000s, a fall in the population growth rate resulting from an accelerating decline in the birth rate has prompted a review of housing supplies. 4. In addition to its negative impact on the earnings of construction companies, this deterioration in the real estate market is also having a widening impact in other areas, including an increase in the amount of non-performing loans held by financial institutions. Particularly significant is the rapidly deteriorating financial positions of savings banks, which expanded their lending for real estate projects during the real estate development boom.
