다문화 한국 사회를 위한 이중 언어 교육

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Traditionally Korean society has been generally regarded as a monolingual, mono-cultural society. However, according to a few recent surveys, Korean society is rapidly changing into multi-cultural society. In this paper, it is argued that bilingual education programme should be carried out throughout every school level for all the members of the next generation as well as the minor students from multi-cultural family.
For this contention, I have explained the concept, history, purpose, and methods of bilingual education. And I have suggested the methods of bilingual education for the students from multi-cultural family. First, it must be started on the basis of the requests of the students from multi-cultural family. Secondly, the contents of bilingual education for minor students should be expanded from Korean language education to the comprehensive area needed to achieve educational purpose as same as the major students. Thirdly, for the effect positive results, all the other students except the students from multi-cultural family should be taken to the bilingual education programme. It would be helpful to integrate the various people in the mut-icultural future society of Korea. Finally, I have suggested to have the teachers and the parents study and take training for the multilingual education programme.
For fre hopeful progress into rrulti-culttrral society integrated with every members of multi-cultural society, the authorities concerned with multi-cultural education have to thrive every effcrts to set up nation-wide plan referring to the examples of the otrer multi-cultural societies.
