초록

본 연구는 아프리카계 미국인 학생의 한국에서의 성공적인 제 2 언어 학습 경험을 조사하였다. 한국에 많은 다문화 가정들이 있지만, 아프리카계 미국인 학생들의 제 2 언어 학습에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 과거에, 몇 몇 미국 연구자들은 아프리카계 미국 학생들을 학습부진아들로 분석하였지만, 그들의 제 2 언어 학습의 성공적인 사례에 대한 보고는 거의 없다. 질적 연구 방법론을 사용하여, 본 연구자들은 메리라는 한 아프리카계 미국인 여학생을 인터뷰하고 관찰조사 하였다. 또한, 메리의 어머니, 선생님, 그리고 친구들을 인터뷰하여, 메리의 한국어 발달에 대하여 조사하였다. 연구 결과로 메리의 한국어 화자로서의 노력은 가족, 한국사회, 그리고 친구들의 도움으로 이루어졌다. 메리는 언어 발달에 있어서 특별한 사회적 조직적 지원들을 경험했음을 또 한 묘사하였다. 본 연구는 한국에 있는 다문화 학습자들 교육에 대한 교육적 시사점을 논의하고, 아프리카계 미국인 학습자에 대한 부정적인 편견을 극복할 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 토론하였다.

This case study examines the experiences of an African American student's successful second language acquisition in Korea. There is an increasing number of multicultural families in Korea; but few research on African American students' second language learning. In the past, some American researchers have analyzed African American students as academic underachievers for learning and there is a scarcity of research on African American students' successfully acquiring a second language. With this qualitative research design, the researchers interviewed, and observed an African American girl named Mary. The researchers also interviewed Mary's mother, teacher, and peers about Mary's Korean language development. The results of this study revealed Mary's determined efforts to become a fluent Korean speaker with support from family, community and friends. Mary underwent unique social and systematic supports for her language development. This paper concludes with the educational implication for multicultural language learners in Korea and the possibility to diminish the common stereotypes of African Americans as underachievers.
