Experiences of discrimination: Validity and reliability of a self-report measure for population health research on racism and health

The term intersectionality references the critical insight that race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate not as unitary, mutually exclusive entities, but rather as reciprocally constructing phenomena. Despite this general consensus, definitions of what counts as intersectionality are far from clear. In this article, I analyze intersectionality as a knowledge project whose raison d'etre lies in its attentiveness to power relations and social inequalities. I examine three interdependent sets of concerns: (a) intersectionality as a field of study that is situated within the power relations that it studies; (b) intersectionality as an analytical strategy that provides new angles of vision on social phenomena; and (c) intersectionality as critical praxis that informs social justice projects.

The paper reports an investigation carried out in two Korean EFL classrooms, being small-scale interventions within existing classrooms or institutional structures. A teacher-researcher introduced critically-oriented material using an optional class in a junior high school and an existing class in a senior high school. The focus was on establishing critical dialogue between students and teachers, providing opportunities for learners to develop English language abilities while engaging in critical discussion of topics. Data collected included audio and videotapes of classrooms, oral and written interviews with students and teachers, student class evaluations, and associated documents. Findings (based on qualitative analyses of data) suggest that students were by no means resistant to this kind of material or class, and showed the ability to handle and generate critical dialogue in English. Students recognized the classes as challenging though not as focused on exam preparation as their regular course offer...

Exploring the Possibilities for EFL Critical Pedagogy in Korea: A Two-Part Case Study.

This special issue aims to develop a research agenda that brings language to the centre of our inquiry and critique of neoliberalism. Based on empirical case studies from across diverse contexts in Europe, North America, and East Asia, contributors to this special issue address two issues: (1) What can be said about the nature of neoliberalism when we approach it from the perspective of language as social and political process? (2) How does language learning and teaching, increasingly subject to the logic of the market, not only reflect neoliberal social transformations but also reinforce them? Together, the contributions to the special issue suggest new directions of research that will help establish language as an important key for understanding the shifting political economy of our time.

This chapter presents a critical examination of current issues and controversies in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Korea, focusing on the recent Korean “English-only” educational policy, which requires that English be taught without L1 support in certain school grades. Drawing from a study I conducted with Korean English teachers and students, I investigate how the policy goes beyond the mere discussion of language of instruction and perpetuates the notion of the Native Speaker (NS) as an ideal language teacher. The conflict between the government’s goal for English education (influenced by the discourse of globalization) and English teachers’ goals for English education (constructed through daily interactions with the students in the local classrooms) suggests that Koreans should reconceptualize ELT in Korea. Drawing on Wallace’s (2002) notion of global literate English and Robertson’s (1995) notion of glocalzation, I argue that when the global English is glocalized through critical pedagogy, English can work as a language of opportunity for Koreans. A critical understanding of the complex relationship between ELT and colonialism and a reconceptualization of the ownership of English in Korea will have implications for ELT practices in other countries.

English Language Teaching in Korea

Globalization and the rise of ‘Korean cool’ provide middle-class Korean yuhaksaeng (visa students) in Toronto with resources they can mobilize as strategies of distinction. In their construction of themselves as new transnational subjects with hybrid identities that are simultaneously global and Korean, yuhaksaeng deploy re-valued varieties of Korean language and culture as stylistic resources in the globalized new economy. In this process, yuhaksaeng contest their marginal positions as ‘FOBs’ (Fresh-Off-the-Boats) and ‘Nerds’ in dominant Western racial discourse, and construct themselves as wealthy, modern, and cosmopolitan ‘Cools’vis-a-vis long-term immigrants in local Korean diasporic communities as well as Canadians. The stories of yuhaksaeng illustrate how notions of ‘global’ and ‘local’ linguistic resources are transformed under the material conditions of globalization and its structures of inequality.



세계화와 ‘한국적 쿨’의 등장은 토론토에 거주하는 중산층 한국 유학생들이 차별화를 위해 사용할수 있는 자원을 제공한다. 유학생들은 세계화로 인한 새로운 경제체제에서 새롭게 가치평가된 한국 언어와 문화를, 자신들을 글로벌하면서도 동시에 한국적인 혼성적 정체성을 가진 새로운 초국가적 주체로 스타일링하기 위한 자원으로 활용한다. 이 과정에서 유학생들은 서양의 지배적 인종 담론내에서의 ‘FOBs’ (Fresh-Off-the-Boats) 와 ‘Nerds’ 와 같은 주변인 정체성에 저항하며, 자신들을 토론토에 거주하는 캐나다인들뿐 아니라 오래된 한국이민자들과 대비하여, 부유하고 모던하며 코스모폴리탄적인 ‘쿨’의 정체성을 형성한다. 이 글에 나타난 유학생들의 이야기는 세계화의 물질적 조건과 그 불평등의 구조 속에서 언어자원의 세계성과 지역성이 어떻게 변형되는지의 사례를 보여준다.
