As the amount of time that elementary school students spend online increased due to Corona 19, the amount of posts, comments, and chats they write increased, and problems such as offending others' feelings or using swear words are occurring. Netiquette is being educated in elementary school, but training time is insufficient. In addition, it is difficult to expect changes in student behavior. So, technical support through natural language processing is needed. In this study, an experiment was conducted to automatically filter profanity sentences by applying them to a pre-trained language model on sentences written by elementary school students. In the experiment, chat details of elementary school 4-6 graders were collected on an online learning platform, and general sentences and profanity sentences were trained through a pre-learned language model. As a result of the experiment, as a result of classifying profanity sentences, it was analyzed that the precision was 75%. It has been shown that if the learning data is sufficiently supplemented, it can be sufficiently applied to the online platform used by elementary school students.

Social learning encourages and enables learners with common interests to communicate and share knowledge with others through social networks. However, social learning suffers a barrier on communication among learners with various la nguage and culture background. Aiming to avoid this barrier, this paper proposes a framework of cross-language s ocial learning system which can involve more learners' participation on the web. With this framework, an illustrati ve example of task-oriented collaborative learning paradigm is elaborated. It is expected that our proposed system can stimulate more learners to share the learning resource for deep discussions as well as to promote the knowled ge innovation.

In this paper we proposed a gamification methodology for Korean language education. We suggested gamification elements that increased the fun factor and induced immersion by analyzing the successful gamification cases which can be classified into three types; management, Implementation, and self-expression. Then, we analyzed Korean learning theory and methods to extract four key aspects, listening, speaking, vocabulary and culture from eight Korean learning function. Finally, by using Korean Wave contents, we proposed a Korean learning gamification methodology based on the gamification elements and the extracted four key aspects.

I researched the acceptance attitude to the multiculturalism of Korean people and the relationship between language and society through two Korean films, and . And I researched the language form in the multicultural families in the way conducting the survey targeting international marriage immigrant women. The content and conclusion in shortly are as in the following. (1) The acceptance attitude to the multiculturalism of Korean people is somewhat positive in such a case having no interests among themselves. (2) It depends upon the society and the culture for the foreigners to come into contact and learn the language easily. It means well-adapted to the certain society for the foreign workers to use status-language such as slang and jargon in the society. And this is the good example to show us the relationship between the language and certain society. (3) The language form of the multicultural families in Korea is mainly Korean, but two languages are used in order to communicate well with monolingual. This is called 'bilingualism', and according to the result of my research I think it is 'listening comprehension type bilingualism'. From this time forward it is urgently needed to develop the contents in relation to multiculturalism and the 'bilingualism' education program for multicultural families instead of the education of Korean being limited to communication itself in order to improve adaptiveness to multiculturalism in Korean society.

This paper concerns the cultural tourism and the importance of cultural interpreters. Globalization has become a key word of 21st century, so the volume of tourists has been increasing. Furthermore, as the Korean wave has expanded to the world, more people are interested in Korea and Korean culture, and we observed the obvious increase of tourists. International tourists visit Korea with a variety of purposes, and their travel types are also diversified. This paper analyzes tourists' behavior based on the data provided by KNTO and briefly examines the cultural interpreters in 5 major organizations. Then considering the specific roles of the guides based on the Cohen (1985) and Lee (2011), I propose that the government should give more focus on the professional foreign language speaking interpreters for culture. As for an alternative to the present volunteering system for foreign languages, I strongly suggest multi-culture families or international students staying in Korea, for the wiser use of their abilities, their easy adaptation to the new world, and the peaceful coexistence.

This study explores Witi Ihimaera's The Whale Rider (1987) from ecological and postcolonial perspectives. Ihimaera is one of the prominent Maori writers who have critically voiced their concerns about the fragmentation of Maori tradition and the alienation of an environmentally friendly culture in New Zealand. Throughout the novel The Whale Rider, with his mythic imagination and cultural sensitivity, Ihimaera raises ecological awareness in terms of environmental justice and promotes critical consciousness regarding sociocultural and histo-political realities of the Maori people as alienated others in their ancestors' land. Revolving around the developmental process of a young Maori girl named after a mythical Maori ancestor Kahutia Te Rangi also known as the Whale Rider to inherit the Maori leadership, the novel describes the historical, cultural, emotional landscape of the Maori community in the white-centered society of New Zealand. In particular, this paper analyzes the leaving and homing process of narrator Rawiri which is deeply embedded in Maori myth and philosophy toward an eco-friendly culture and postcolonial reality. Indeed, Ihimaera skillfully juxtaposes young man Rawiri's experience outside the Maori community and young girl Kahu's life at the Maori home. In the end, while Kahu achieves her destiny in a mythical way to foster a new vision of harmonious co-existence that is rooted in Maori heritage and compatible with Western culture, Rawiri comes to understand the interrelatedness of all existence and embraces both the rational knowledge of scientific empiricism and the traditional knowledge of spiritual experiences. The novel The Whale Rider was also turned into a film by New Zealand's most influential female film director Niki Caro in 2002, and the film Whale Rider received international acclaim.

The aim of this paper is to analyze vowel in voice imitation, and to find the invariable phonetic features of the speaker. In this paper we examined the formants of vowel /a, u, i/. The results of the present are as follows : (1) Speakers change their vocal tract cavity features. (2) F1 changes easily compared to $F2{\sim}F3{\sim}F4$. (3) F3-F2 appears to be constituent for a speakers identification in vowel /a/ and F4-F2 in vowel /i/.

It have been known that Daegu dialect does not have /ㅆ/ as a phoneme. However, it seems that /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ are phonemically distinctive in younger generation. In this paper, we investigate realization of /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ of Daegu dialect in their 20's, and compare them with /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ of Seoul dialect in their 20's. The result of this study showed that /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ were not significantly different between Daegu and Seoul dialect except pitch. Therefore, in Daegu dialect /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ are phonemically distinctive in younger generation like Seoul dialect's /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ are.

The aim of the present study is to compare the vowel formants between generations in Daegu dialect. 20 Daegu dialect speakers were participated in this study; 10 were in their 40's, the other 10were in their 20's. As a result, the distance of /ㅣ/ and /ㅐ/, and, /ㅡ/ and /ㅓ/ in 20's is further than 40's, while the distance of /ㅗ/ and in 20's is closer than 40's. It seems reasonable to conclude that vowels in Daegu dialect change to have their own stable space, but /ㅗ/ and /ㅜ/ does not.
