다문화 가정 현황 및 한국어 교육 지원 방안

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is focused on how to support the multicultural family for their Korean language learning. In recent years, there is a rapid increasing in the number of foreigners and their family, families consisted of Korean and south-east Asian woman. There are 850,000 foreigners in Korea in 2006, and researchers are saying the number will be more than one million in a few years. There are more than 60,000 women living in Korea through international marriage. The number of foreigners’ children is about 20,000 who are in the age of their school year in 2006. In this context it is the time to prepare for the multicultural society in Korea.
In a broad sense every families are in a multicultural state in their generation, class, heritage, region and culture. But in a narrow sense, focused in this paper, multicultural family is defined as a new family consisted of international marriage and heritage group, such as foreign labors, immigrated wives through marriage and new families from North Korea. These families are facing in many difficulties in their communication, education, getting a job, etc. and the point is Korean language ability.
Regarding the Korean language education, I analysed the problems of the Korean language programs focused on labor training before and after entry into Korea. I analysed also the Korean language programs in television and internet, Korean language textbook for the immigrated wives living in Korea. The Korean language programs for foreign labors has so many limitations in it’s period and contents, in particular after-entry training which takes just 3 days. First of all the period of training have to be extended. In other hands the Korean language program through internet or television could be much more useful, but it doesn’t meet our expectations at the moment. The textbook, developed and supplied by Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, is the first specific one by the government level, but it still need to make the weak point in it’s contents.
Even though it needs much more funds and investment for the government to support multicultural family at the moment, the effect will be much more bigger than the investment in the international society to improve the Korean image and information as well as to raise international human resources. Most of all it will work to lead Korean society to the harmonious and sound direction.
The key points of multiculturalism are recognition, accommodation and mutual consideration. The principles of support for the multicultural families are diversity, reality, economical efficiency, stage, cooperation and multilingual approach which are based on the multicultural families. The families and schools, regional societies, media and government need much more cooperation to make new programs and support systems which will get a practical effect.
