신경망 기반의 다국어 및 교차 언어 정보 검색 모델은 타겟 언어로 된 학습 데이터가 필요하지만, 이는 고자원 언어에 치중되어있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 영어 학습 데이터와 한국어-영어 병렬 말뭉치만을 이용한 효과적인 다국어 정보 검색 모델 학습 방법을 제안한다. 언어 예측 태스크와 경사 반전 계층을 활용하여 인코더가 언어에 구애 받지 않는 벡터 표현을 생성하도록 학습 방법을 고안하였고, 이를 한국어가 포함된 다국어 정보 검색 벤치마크에 대해 실험하였다. 본 실험 결과 제안 방법이 다국어 사전학습 모델과 영어 데이터만을 이용한 베이스라인보다 높은 성능을 보임을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 또한 교차 언어 정보 검색 실험을 통해 현재 검색 모델이 언어 편향성을 가지고 있으며, 성능에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and verify the effects of multicultural children's psychosocial adaptation, bicultural experience, parental support and parenting attitudes, and school activities on the development of Korean language ability using data from the second stage of the MAPS(Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study) using a structural equation model. The subjects of this study were 396 children from foreign families and mid-immigrant families, multicultural children who were enrolled in the fourth grade of elementary school in 2019. As a result of the study, it was found that psychosocial adaptation, bicultural experience, and school activities directly or indirectly significantly affect the ability of multicultural children to speak and understand Korean. In particular, it was found that school activities have a direct effect on the improvement of the Korean language ability of multicultural children, so it was understood that the support of friends and teachers should be treated as very important parts of educational activities in the educational field. These results mean that the most ideal educational environment that affects the development of Korean language skills must be necessarily reflected in the Korean language education policy for multicultural children.

This study examined the longitudinal effects of appearance satisfaction and Korean language skills on the self-esteem and school adjustment of multicultural adolescents. The study used data from 1,151 multicultural adolescents from the $3^{rd}$, $4^{th}$, and $5^{th}$ waves of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS). Data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, correlation, and structural equation modeling. The results are as follows. First, appearance satisfaction and Korean language skills at grade 6 significantly predicted higher self-esteem at grade 7. Second, there was a significant influence of high levels of self-esteem at grade 7 on positive school adjustment of grade 8. Last, the self-esteem at grade 7 had a significant mediating effect in the relationship between appearance satisfaction and Korean language skills at grade 6 and school adjustment at grade 8. The results of this study highlighted the importance of self-esteem as a mediating factor in the connection between appearance satisfaction and Korean language skills as well as the level of school adjustment. This provides supporting evidence to many educators and parents for the implementation of effective support practices for multicultural adolescents to enhance their school adjustment. Other related implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

This study was designed to explore the analogical reasoning and metaphoric understanding in typically developing children and language impaired children. 13 Language-impaired children were matched to 16 typically developing children on the basis of receptive vocabulary age. All 29 children were enrolled in the 1st to 3rd grade in regular elementary schools. All were administered analogical reasoning and metaphoric tasks. Results indicated that the children with language disabilities did not perform as well as the receptive vocabulary matched group on the two tasks. In addition, we found that both of children with and without language disabilities did not have relationship between analogical reasoning and metaphoric understanding.

The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale(Horwitz et al., 1986) and the Classroom Environment Scale(Moos & Tricket, 1974) were administered to 434 middle school students in Daegu. Data were analyzed by Cronbach's $\alpha$, t-test, and Pearson's correlation using the SPSS program. Results on anxiety showed no gender differences between male and female students but $9^{th}$ graders reported more anxiety than $7^{th}$ graders. Two of the nine classroom environment subscales showed differences between perceptions of male and female students, and there were significant differences between $7^{th}$ and $9^{th}$ graders. Foreign language anxiety was correlated with perceived classroom environment. This finding suggests the importance of the psychological environment between the English teacher and students for successful language education.

In this paper, I analyzed the russian cultural content of the russian textbook according to curriculum changes. The aim of this study is to analyze the content of the russian textbooks on russian culture. Our education of russian language begins in high school as a second language. And russian education in high school entirely depend on the textbook. In these circumstances, Russian textbooks play a very important role in the Russian language learning. For a practical and efficient language learning, acquisition of cultural knowledge is very important. Because cultural content can be learning motivational factors. But the contents of a textbook is not satisfactory enough to teach russian culture. More efficient textbook must be developed to advance student's linguistic ability.
