  • The purpose of this study is to explore the linguistic elements that can promote academic literacy in terms of content-based instructions for KSL learners. In order to study the characteristics of learning languages for subjects, focus was given to the framework of systematic functional linguistics that has been extensively used in ELL teaching and learning research in the United States and Australia. History, which is taught in all classes and classified as a required course, was the subject of analysis. From the history curriculum, the elementary school level texts "Social Studies 5-2" and "Social Studies 6-1" were chosen for the analysis. Based on the results, we can come to the following conclusions. First, history textbooks are divided into narrative and analytical explanatory sub-genres based on their content, and there are differences in the factors that need to be focused on to find the main information. Second, the vocabulary of history textbooks should focus on the use of verbs which comprehend material processes. Particularly, learners should pay attention to the differences in meaning between low-frequency expressions. We hope that the results of this study will have a positive effect on history subject learning for learners in the "Adaptive Korean Course" and will help establish direction in terms of building curriculum contents for KSL learners.

  • The aim of this study is to find out the way the future curriculum of clothing and textile studies should be composed. For this purpose, this study examines the perception of students as consumer of university teaching. For students, who are studying in the department of clothing and textiles, have academic and practical interest in this area. But they also anticipate the demand of clothing and textile market in the future in which they will work. The sample of survey research was 607 students of 20 universities. First, this study asked the students what are important areas of study at present. Majority of student answered that clothing construction and fashion design are the most important ares of clothing and textile studies. This perception of the students seems to reflect the fact that most university departments have placed importance on such subjects. Secondly, students think that fashion marketing and fashion have placed importance on such subjects . Secondly , students think that fashion marketing and fashion design should be emphasised in the future. This finding is consistent with the current trend in the fashion industry which has gone beyond simple clothing construction to fashion design and marketing which yield higher profit than clothing construction. Although there are many other factors which should be considered in the composition of future curriculum, this study shows that fashion marketing and design should be at the core of university teaching in department of clothing and textile studies.

  • Recently in South Korea, various methods are followed in decreasing educational gap between region and social classes through school education. The National Assessment Educational Achievement(NAEA) intends to strengthen responsibility of school education and manage quality of curriculum. Besides, the NAEA intends to bridge achievement gap which is one of educational gaps by grasping the characteristics of academic ability to guarantee basic academic ability. There is not much research about the educational gap among regional scales. Therefore in this study, to examine the achievement characteristics among regional scales closely, we analyse the 2010, 2011 NAEA results in elementary mathematics subject and explore characteristics of items which have sharp differences between local population sizes. The results of the analysis has been showed that the educational gap between 'big-sized cities' and 'small and midium-sized cities' has been increased, but the overall educational gap among regional scales has been decreased.
