다문화 사회의 화법 교육 ; 다문화 사회 구성원의 정체성 형성과 화법교육 = The Formation of Identity and Teaching Oral Communication in Multicultural Society

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Multicultural society displays diversity and flexibility mainly owing to immigration. So it is not necessary that the answer is only and fixed one for the question, who I am (or who we are). The reason is that identity is characterized as variable, relative, constructive one, which is strongly influenced by culture. In multicultural society, we should not try to make the identity of the members of society one. And it is necessary that we recognize and accept the mutual permeation of different cultural identities. We also have to reflect both who I am (or who we are) and who my (or our) others are. Furthermore, it is needed that the members have sufficient opportunities and environments for experiencing and forming shared identity. For these purposes, teaching oral communication has to be interested in enhance the attitude of mutual recognition for each party, which is the basis and condition of dialogue. And it is requested that teaching oral communication explore ways to understand the characteristics of the linguistic habits to which the counterpart belongs and to make use of the knowledge of the culture of the counterpart as the contents of dialogue. Still more, teaching oral communication must rectify the politically uncorrect expressions in the everyday dialogue which can have negative influence on the identity formation of the cultural minorities.
