This research aims to explore the factors that influence the motivation and demotivation of third-country-born North Korean defectors in their English learning experiences, both before and after settling in South Korea. Motigraph and semi-structured interviews were conducted with two third-country-born North Korean defectors, and the transcribed interviews were analyzed based on Grounded theory. Overall, motivation to learn English significantly increased after settlement in South Korea. Prior to settlement, factors such as accessible or easy English classes and the aspiration to enter middle school positively impacted motivation, whereas memorization-oriented teaching methods decreased English learning motivation. Post-settlement, specific learning goals such as employment or university entrance, teacher encouragement, and comparison with South Korean students, emerged as motivating factors. However, challenges such as learning English grammar and difficulties with English language acquisition in a Korean-speaking environment made learning English difficult. Finally, we discussed strategies to assist third-country-born North Korean defectors in adapting to English education after settling in South Korea, focusing on practical and educational support.

As the 21st century society becomes rapidly globalized, international teaching practicum is proposed as one of effective ways for enhancing teachers’ competences for teaching students of diverse backgrounds. Considering that Yungbokhap education is proposed as a reform movement for student empowerment, this research investigates the change in the preservice teachers’ perception of Yungbokhap education in the context of an international teaching practicum. For the purpose, we collected the preservice teachers’ reflection journals and transcripts of practicum conferences for analysis. The results of the analysis revealed the practicum positively contributed to enhancing the preservice teachers’ competences for Yunbokhap education. Based on the results, we discuss implications for international teaching practicum.

This study examined the changes of grit, academic engagement, and academic achievement of adolescents in the 1st(year 2018) to 3rd(year 2020) data of KCYPS 2018. We also investigated how growth factors of grit and academic engagement would predict academic achievement directly and indirectly. Multivariate latent growth modeling was used to analyze data. Results demonstrates that growth rates of grit and academic engagement were not statistically significant, meaning that they were stable from first to third years. However, the growth rates of academic achievement was statistically significant. Happiness predicted 1st year’s grit, which in turn, positively affected academic engagement. Students who had higher initial status of academic engagement had higher academic achievement. Lastly, the mediating effect of academic engagement between grit and academic achievement was statistically significant.

The potential outcomes of financial education are influenced not only by supply but demand-side factors, particularly individuals’ intentions to learn more about financial literacy. Despite this, the demand for financial education has so far received very little attention. A survey of Korean adults(n=1,422) is used to investigate what affects the intention to enhance financial literacy. To this end, the study relies on the basic conceptual framework of the theory of planned behavior. The results show that attitudes, beliefs, and perceived behavioral control are significant determinants of intentions, supporting that the theory can serve as an effective model. The level of financial knowledge and overconfidence are directly related to the demand for financial education. Those who actively invest in stocks or funds, those with loan debt, and those without income are more likely to intend to become financially literate.

This study analyzed the research literature in the field of private English education conducted in Korea thus far. To accomplish this, databases such as RISS and KCI were searched, resulting in the extraction of a total of 143 studies. These studies were scrutinized to analyze the research trends, with a focus on participants, research methods, and topics. It was found that the majority of the studies focused on elementary and middle school students, and quantitative research methods were predominantly utilized. In terms of research topics, six central themes emerged. This paper delves into more detailed findings and discusses implications for future English education.

This study aims to analyze the effect of high school students' self-directed learning attitude on class satisfaction through resilience. To achieve this, a structural equation model was established to examine the relationship between the three variables, and data from 2,793 general high school students within the 9th year of SELS2010 were analyzed. The results showed the fit of the structural equation model was very good (CFI=.983, TLI=.976, RMSEA=.059, SRMR=.033). Moreover, self-directed learning attitude had a statistically significant positive effect on resilience and class satisfaction, and resilience also had a statistically significant positive effect on class satisfaction. Additionally, the mediating effect of resilience was found to be statistically significant. These findings suggest that educational efforts to enhance not only self-directed learning attitude but also resilience is needed to improve high school students' class satisfaction.

This study analyzes the case of global citizenship education (GCED) in teacher education colleges in the Philippines and draws out its features to find implications for GCED in teacher education colleges. To this end, Philippine Normal University (PNU), a leading participant in GCED in the Philippines, was selected and analyzed in terms of the program’s purpose and background, curriculum and research, and management system. Analysis shows that the PNU has been actively engaged in GCED based on its historical background in women and human rights studies. The PNU's GCED program mainly adopted the concept of GCED presented by UNESCO while emphasizing the behavioral dimension. This case demonstrates that the areas of GCED to which teacher education colleges can contribute are diverse, encompassing pre-service and in-service teacher education and research. Teacher education colleges can play a leading role in expanding GCED in a country through their active engagement in the agenda demonstrated by institutional leadership and collaboration with international organizations.

This paper aims to analyze reading passages found in an English textbook used at Factory College in North Korea and examine the characteristics of English education for adults, particularly “learning while working system” implemented in North Korea. To investigate the linguistic properties; lexical frequency(high frequency vocabulary, keywords, and 4gram) and readability(measured by FKGL and FRE), this corpus-based analysis was conducted with Wordsmith, AntConc and Readable. The findings demonstrate frequent appearance of science and technology terms, and their frequent description. This confirms that North Korea attempts to connect education with industrial sites by combining English and technical education. In addition, as a result of analyzing vocabulary diversity and readability, it was found that the level of difficulty increased rapidly compared to high school English textbooks. The vocabulary appeared less varied than English reading passages of Korean SAT and readability showed a similar level.
