The Language and Culture......The heroes, Man-taek and Hee-cheol are 38-year-old single men. Man-taek is a simple farmer still living with his mother. He is too naive to even catch a girl’s eye. Man-taek’s best friend Hee cheol is a impudent taxi driver but actually he’s also a pathetic single man. Suffering difficulties to find the brides to marry, the two friends decide to leave for Uzbekistan in search of their soul mates. There, Man-taek meets a North Korean defector, Lara who is a smart local interpreter, and they rejoin in South Korea while Hee-Cheol marrying Alonya, a ‘‘Koryosaram’ (Korean living in Uzbekistan). This movie is partly successful in portraying the pain and loneliness of those living in the peripheries of the world by making good use of familiar rural reality and Uzbekistan’s foreign landscapes. But the movie still advocates pure-blood nationalism, which is repeating a recipe that ‘Korean wave(halliu)’ movies borrow. A protagonist from one side of the divided Korean Peninsula and an antagonist from the other, their fates tragically or comically entangled. The plot is originated from the mindset that blood is thicker than water, and this thick blood should be none other than Dangun blood. It’s time for ‘Korean wave(halliu)’ movie maker to take into consideration what kind of themes they have to adopt and how they make scenes for open society that is broad-minded to the extent of embracing people from different ethic groups.

소개
본 학회의 설립 목적은 한국어와 한국문화 교육의 활성화를 꾀하는 것이다. 다시 말해, 한국어와 한국문화 교육을 의한 바람직한 연구 방향을 모색하는 것이 본 학회의 근본 목적이다.
최근 한국어 교육의 중심 축은 한국어의 언어적 지식 교수가 아닌 의사소통능력의 신장을 위한 교수로 옮겨가고 있고, 그 변화과정에서 한국문화 교육 역시 자연스럽게 한국어교육과 밀접한 연관을 맺게 되었다. 따라서 한국어교육과 한국문화교육의 방법론을 학제간의 관점에서 연구 대상으로 삼아 체계적 연구를 꾀하는 것이 본 학회의 실제 목적이라 할 수 있다.
