본 논문에서는 관광의 1차적인 정보원으로서의 홈페이지와 관광홍보물의 언어학적 전환의 특징을 살펴보고자 한다. 즉 관광관련 사이트의 한국어 원문과 영어 번역물을 비교하면서 관광정보 텍스트가 올바르게 언어전환 되었는지 점검하고 나아가 전환된 영어번역물과 한국어 원문을 대조하면서 번역물에서 발생하는 언어규약과 의사소통의 특징을 살펴본다. 특히 한국어와 영어는 언어유형에서 대조적인 언어로서 번역을 통해 전환되었을 때 특이한 담화의 양상을 보인다. 즉 한국어에 비해 영어표현은 직설적이고 우회적인 표현을 피하는 경향이 있다. 또한 영어번역본에서는 영어 화자위주로 언어가 변형되어 표현됨을 주시할 수 있다. 이것은 영어를 사용하는 언어군에서 흔히 발생하는 양상으로 광의의 문화간의 차이로 간주될 수 있다. 따라서 외국관광객의 1차적 정보원으로서의 관광웹사이트는 관광정보를 제공하는 동시에 목적지의 문화를 간접적인 형태로 표현함으로써 사회적 이미지 형성과 문화간 차이를 대변하며 커뮤니케이션의 일환으로서 공손의 원칙과 Grice의 원칙을 준수하고 있다.

In the age of global communication, more human exchange is extended at the grass-roots level. In the old days, language policy and language planning was based on one nation-state with one language. But high waves of globalizaiton have allowed extended human flow of exchange beyond one's national border on a daily basis. Under such circumstances, homogeneity in Japan may not allow Japanese to speak and communicate only in Japanese and only with Japanese people. In Japan, an advisory report was made to the Ministry of Education in June 1996 about what education should be like in the 21st century. In this report, an introduction of English at public elementary schools was for the first time made. A basic policy of English instruction at the elementary school level was revealed. With this concept, English instruction is not required at the elementary school level but each school has their own choice of introducing English as their curriculum starting April 2002. As Baker, Colin (1996) indicates the age of three as being the threshold diving a child becoming bilingual naturally or by formal instruction. Threre is a movement towards making second language acquisition more naturalistic in an educational setting, developing communicative competence in a more or less formal way. From the lesson of the Canadian immersion success, Genesee (1987) stresses the importance of early language instruction. It is clear that from a psycho-linguistic perspective, most children acquire basic communication skills in their first language apparently effortlessly and without systematic and formal instruction during the first six or seven years of life. This innate capacity diminishes with age, thereby making language learning increasingly difficult. The author, being a returnee, experienced considerable difficulty acquiring L2, and especially achieving native-like competence. There will be many hurdles to conquer until Japanese students are able to reach at least a communicative level in English. It has been mentioned that English is not taught to clear the college entrance examination, but to communicate. However, Japanese college entrance examination still makes students focus more on the grammar-translation method. This is expected to shift to a more communication stressed approach. Japan does not have to aim at becoming an official bilingual country, but at least communicative English should be taught at every level in school Mito College is a small two-year co-ed college in Japan. Students at Mito College are basically notgood at English. It has only one department for business and economics, and English is required for all freshmen. It is necessary for me to make my classes enjoyable and attractive so that students can at least get motivated to learn English. My major target is communicative English so that students may be prepared to use English in various business settings. As an experiment to introduce more communicative English, the author has made the following syllabus design. This program aims at training students speak and enjoy English. 90-minute class (only 190-minute session per week is most common in Japanese colleges) is divided into two: The first half is to train students orally using Graded Direct Method. The latter half uses different materials each time so that students can learn and enjoy English culture and language simultaneously. There are no quizes or examinations in my one-academic year program. However, all students are required to make an original English poem by the end of the spring semester. 2-6 students work together in a group on one poem. Students coming to Mito College, Japan have one of the lowest English levels in all of Japan. However, an attached example of one poem made by a group shows that students can improve their creativity as long as they are kept encouraged. At the end of the fall semester, all students are then required individually to make a 3-minute original English speech. An example of that speech contest will be presented at the Convention in Seoul.
