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.

Zingerone and themating success and field attraction ofmalemelon flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Todd E. Shelly 한국응용곤충학회 2017 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.20 No.1

Males ofmany Dacina (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacini) fruit fly species are attracted to either methyl eugenol (ME) or cue lure (CL) or its natural analogue raspberry ketone (RK). Recently, the compound zingerone (ZG) has also been shown to attract males of both ME- and CL/RK-responding Bactrocera species, and in the Queensland fruit fly, B. tryoni (Froggatt), males that fed on ZG had a mating advantage over non-fed males. The objective of this study was to determine whether ZG similarly enhanced mating success of CL/RK responding males of the melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) and to assess the relative attractiveness of CL and ZG to Z. cucurbitae males in the field. ZG was provided in 5 different formulations, including that used in the aforementioned work on B. tryoni.Mating trials were conducted in walk-in field cages containing potted plants, and in all cases 80 ZGfed (treated) males competedwith 80 control (non-fed)males formatings with 80 females. Contrary to B. tryoni, ZG did not confer a mating advantage to Z. cucurbitae males: the numbers of matings procured by treated and control males did not differ significantly for any of the 5 ZG formulations tested. A mark-release-recapture study showed that CL-baited traps significantly more Z. cucurbitae males than ZG-baited traps,whichwere, however, more attractive than control traps lacking any lure.

Content Aggregators Enable a Critical Assessment of Securitized Narratives on North Korea

( Todd J. Mann ) 한국외국어대학교 글로벌정치연구소 2017 글로벌정치연구 Vol.10 No.1

North Korea serves as an ideal case for exploring the utilization of social media aggregators for social science research due to its prominent position in Anglophone news and its reclusive nature. This study seeks to identify and examine the North Korea narrative(s) evoked on social media networks and weigh their assumptions and implications. Previous studies employing news articles have suffered from a methodological nuisance that this study attempts to address. Practically speaking, researchers must choose between examining a few articles in detail or a great number of articles with crippling interpretive limitations. This research addresses this issue with a novel approach by identifying which articles most significantly impact this discourse, which in turn enables a Critical Discourse Analysis. By examining the frequency of certain phrases and arguments in the selected texts how North Koreans are portrayed can be reconstructed. While this paper is primarily methodological, by borrowing insights from Critical Securities Studies, the consequences of the securitization of this discourse can be explored. This research detected six distinct narratives and yielded salient findings on four other themes including the framing of the North Korean people, humanitarian issues, agency, and recurring language. Additionally, evidence is presented that contrasts with theoretical generalizations made by the Copenhagen School.

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.

Capture of Bactrocera fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in traps baited with liquid versus solid formulations of male lures

Todd E. Shelly,Rick Kurashima,Jon Nishimoto,A. Diaz,J. Leathers,D. Joseph,M. War 한국응용곤충학회 2011 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.14 No.4

Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) and B. cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are important agricultural pests of the Pacific region. Detection and control of these species rely largely on traps baited with malespecific attractants (parapheromones), namely methyl eugenol for B. dorsalis and cue lure for B. cucurbitae. Presently, these lures (plus naled, an insecticide) are applied in liquid form, although this procedure is timeconsuming,and naled as well as methyl eugenol may pose human health risks. Recently, a solid formulation (termed a wafer) has been developed that contains both male lures (plus DDVP, an insecticide), and here we present data from field tests in California and Hawaii that compare the effectiveness of liquid versus solid formulations of the lures in capturing marked, released males of these two Bactrocera species. For both species and in both California and Hawaii, traps baited with the solid formulation of the male lure captured similar or significantly more released flies than the liquid formulation for both fresh and aged baits. Traps in Hawaii also captured wild (unmarked) males of both B. dorsalis and B. cucurbitae, and the results obtained for wild flies were similar to those recorded for released flies for both species. Collectively, the results presented suggest that the solid dispenser of the male lures constitutes a reliable substitute for the liquid formulation in detecting incipient Bactrocera outbreaks

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)
