Changes in English Language Teaching (ELT) Textbook Syllabuses in Korea Since 1994 Martin Todd* Abstract: The textbook used in a foreign language course has a profound influence over what material is taught, when it is taught and how it is taught. It provides a structure and a syllabus for the program and may also help train inexperienced teachers. The syllabus of a textbook affects the content, the layout and the order of the materials in the textbook. The author looked at the evolution of university level English conversation textbook syllabuses over the last 30 years to see if there are trends that may relate to what was going on in Korea at that time. He did this by evaluating the syllabuses in sixteen English conversation textbooks he had collected over his time teaching in Korea. In the early 1990s, fueled by globalization, the Asian Games in Seoul and the Seoul Olympics, “English Fever” began to take hold of Korea, affecting Koreans’ perception of English, government policy, and the way English was being taught. The perception was that English teaching was failing in Korea, in large part due to the use of the grammar/translation method of teaching and a new emphasis was put on obtaining communicative competence. The author found some patterns. Notably, that the structural syllabus, although it did not increase in popularity, moved from being a primarily grammar based syllabus to having significant lexical input, probably because of the increase in corpus research enabled by the increasing computer power at the time. He also noted that the skill-based syllabus was used in almost all textbooks and became the dominant syllabus. Finally, he found that the syllabuses, since 2008, have converged, so that syllabuses from different publishers and different years were similar. This raises a concern that stakeholders may be getting complacent about examining the textbooks they have available and about the limitation of textbook choice among teachers.

Minimizing the MOLAP/ROLAP Divide

Todd Eavis,Ahmad Taleb 한국정보과학회 2013 Journal of Computing Science and Engineering Vol.7 No.1

Over the past generation, data warehousing and online analytical processing (OLAP) applications have become the cornerstone of contemporary decision support environments. Typically, OLAP servers are implemented on top of either proprietary array-based storage engines (MOLAP) or as extensions to conventional relational DBMSs (ROLAP). While MOLAP systems do indeed provide impressive performance on common analytics queries, they tend to have limited scalability. Conversely, ROLAP’s table oriented model scales quite nicely, but offers mediocre performance at best relative to the MOLAP systems. In this paper, we describe a storage and indexing framework that aims to provide both MOLAP like performance and ROLAP like scalability by essentially combining some of the best features from both. Based upon a combination of R-trees and bitmap indexes, the storage engine has been integrated with a robust OLAP query engine prototype that is able to fully exploit the efficiency of the proposed storage model. Specifically, it utilizes an OLAP algebra coupled with a domain specific query optimizer, to map user queries directly to the storage and indexing framework. Experimental results demonstrate that not only does the design improve upon more naive approaches, but that it does indeed offer the potential to optimize both query performance and scalability.

Distance-dependent capture probability ofmale Mediterranean fruit flies in trimedlure-baited traps in Hawaii

Todd Shelly,Jon Nishimoto,Rick Kurashima 한국응용곤충학회 2014 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.17 No.3

Many countries operate regional trapping programs for the detection of exotic tephritid fruit flies, which because of their polyphagous habits pose a serious threat to fruit and vegetable crops. Detection of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), relies primarily on trimedlure (TML), a synthetic malespecific lure, yet few studies have measured the relationship between distance from TML-baited traps and the probability ofmale capture, and consequently the detection sensitivity ofmedfly trapping programs is largely unknown. The present study measured distance-dependent capture probabilities for male C. capitata in TML-baited traps using mark–release–recapture procedures. Releases were performed at distances of 25, 50, 100, and 200m at 4 sites in Hawaii, and the resulting capture rates were used to estimate the minimum detectable population size (detection probability N 99.9%) for a trapping density of 5 TML traps per 2.59 km2 (=1 mi2, the density used in California, USA). Capture rateswere similar for 3 of the sites (6.5%, 3.8%, 1.1%, and 0.1% for the 4 distances, respectively) and yielded an estimated minimum detectable population of ≈2300 males, a value similar to that obtained in a comparable study conducted in California. For unknown reasons, capture rates were significantly lower at the remaining site (1.8%, 0.6%, 0.1%, 0.04%) and the estimated minimum detectable population was correspondingly much larger (≈10,000 males). Implications of these results for medfly detection programs are discussed.

Performance-Based EMC Design Using a Maximum Radiated Emissions Calculator

Todd H. Hubing 한국전자파학회JEES 2013 Journal of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science Vol.13 No.4

Meeting electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements can be a significant challenge for engineers designing today’s electronic devices. Traditional approaches rely heavily on EMC design rules. Unfortunately, these design rules aren’t based on the specific EMC requirements for a particular device, and they don’t usually take into account the specific function of the circuits or the many design details that will ultimately determine whether the device is compliant. This paper describes a design methodology that relates design decisions to the product’s EMC requirements. The goal of performance-based EMC design is to ensure that electronic designs meet EMC requirements the first time the product is tested. More work needs to be done before this concept reaches its full potential, but electronic system designers can already derive significant benefit by applying this approach to products currently under development.

The Bureaucracy of Korean Land Development Policy

Todd M. Nesbit,Gi-Don An(안기돈) 충남대학교 경영경제연구소 2009 경영경제연구 Vol.32 No.1

한국경제의 급성장은 빠른 도시화를 야기시키며 주택 및 토지에 대한 투기를 초래했다. 이러한 투기를 억제하기 위해 한국 정부는 주택공급을 위한 토지공급을 정부가 조절할 수 있도록 한국토지공사를 설립했다. 한국토지공사의 핵심역할은 산업 및 주택공급을 위한 토지를 개발하는 것이다. 한국토지공사는 정부가 출자한 공기업으로서 공기업이 흔히 지니고 있는 관료주의 행태를 지고 있다는 지적이 많았다. 본 연구는 한국토지공사가 택지개발을 이용해 한국토지공사의 규모를 키우는 관료주의 행태를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 한국토지공사가 택지개발을 이용하여 한국토지공사의 직원 수를 늘리는 전형적인 관료주의를 행태를 보였다는 연구결과를 제시하였다. The dramatic economic growth and urbanization has stimulated speculation in housing and land markets in Korea. In an effort to suppress speculation, the Korean government established the Korean Land Corporation (KLC) which is authorized with central control over land development. The KLC’s key operation is land-use conversion for housing construction from rural to urban use. This paper tests whether KLC behaves like a typical bureaucracy while it performs residential land development. This paper presents the empirical evidence that KLC uses residential land development to enlarge its employment. The findings suggest that KLC tends to increase its discretionary budget rather than provide necessary land supply for housing construction. The empirical results suggest that KLC has succeeded more in increasing its employment than the government.

Review : Management of Simultaneous Biliary and Duodenal Obstruction: The Endoscopic Perspective

( Todd H. Baron ) The Editorial Office of Gut and Liver 2010 Gut and Liver Vol.4 No.s1

Obstructive jaundice often develops in patients with unresectable malignancy in and around the head of the pancreas. Duodenal obstruction can also occur in these patients, and usually develops late in the disease course. Palliation of both malignant biliary and duodenal obstruction is traditionally performed with surgical diversion of the bile duct and stomach, respectively. With the advent of nonsurgical palliation of biliary obstruction using endoscopic transpapillary expandable metal stent placement, a similar approach can be used to palliate duodenal obstruction by placement of expandable metal gastroduodenal stents. Endoscopic palliation can be achieved in patients who require relief of both biliary obstruction and duodenal obstruction, although this can be technically difficult to achieve depending on the level of duodenal obstruction in relation to the major papilla. This article reviews the endoscopic approaches for combined palliative relief of malignant biliary and duodenal obstruction. (Gut Liver 2010;4(Suppl. 1):S50-56)
