Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) and Janusz Korczak (1878(9)-1942), an Asian and a European, developed their educational approaches and initiated their educational experiments as colonized subjects, living under foreign occupation. In their works, created in such circumstances, they both stress the importance of freedom and independence (spiritual, cultural, intellectual, political etc.), equality, tolerance, forgiveness, compassion, and sympathy as the constituting principles of the proposed models of education which were universal in spirit. But most of all, both underlined the supremacy of mutual respect and sensitive, respectful communication over every kind of force, whether psychological or physical. The aim of the paper is to reflect on selected educational ideas of these two 20th century personalities of Asia and Europe to show that the educational methods of both Tagore and Korczak realised the constitutive principles of culture, with an attempt to suggest possible reasons for their impact in both Korea and Poland.

The purpose of this study is to analyze various issues and problems related to Korean language education inherent in the experiences of Korean teachers who teach immigrant students in public education, as well as teachers' multicultural reflection. The experiences of five Korean language teachers as research participants were collected and analyzed through in-depth interviews, and core themes were derived from five categories, and 15 major themes were classified and organized. At the beginning, a Korean language teacher entered the school with curiosity, excitement, and confidence, but was a stranger who was not welcomed, and the educational environment was unprepared. The various students who cannot speak Korean or do not want to study were stressed and uncomfortable, and at the same time, the participants expressed regret and concern for the situation of their students. The participants educated the students with recognition, praise, encouragement, and expectation, which are the core of multicultural education teaching methods, and changed educational goals. They showed pride in contributing to the growth and development of the students and Korean society, recognizing them as beings who accompany students, mediators, and becoming a home for them. While, they endured difficulties in the face of inappropriate treatment of them and system of Korean language education in public schools. This study is meaningful in that the participants partially practiced special teaching methods based on multicultural education perspective in guiding immigrant students, rediscovered the role of Korean language teachers for the students, and the importance of Korean language education. Accordingly, changes and innovations in public education for Korean language education and students were suggested.

The interaction between the teacher and learner is most important in Korean class. A key element in the interaction is the teachers’ ‘question’. In particular, there are many studies being conducted in Korean language elective courses and general Korean language courses however research on questions in Korean language major courses are very rare. As a result, this study tried to categorize, classify, and analyze teachers’ questions in the Korean language education major courses with a high proportion of international students to derive future plans for question strategies. If strategies to promote interaction in major courses are prepared, teachers will be able to properly plan questions and promote interaction between students in the classroom.

This paper is a study that analyzed multicultural movies from a communicative perspective. The analysis data for this paper are from <Perm>, <Believe it or not-In the case of Chandra>. Multicultural movies feature female marriage immigrants and migrant workers who are multicultural. So, multicultural movies show the communication between Korean and their disparate cultures well. In particular, it is possible to examine communication as a response method of Koreans, focusing on multicultural people. This paper examines the aspects of Koreans' communication about heterogeneous cultures, focusing on the communication of non-verbal and verbal languages in the two films. In this paper, the aspects are summarized as the voices of marginalized multicultural people, the heterogeneity of Koreans-not listening, and the violence caused by heterogeneity. The Korean audiences who watches <A Perm> can empathize with Luong’s thinking and emotion contrary to the Koreans in the primary structure by Luong’s facial expression, and also reach the reflective thinking through the objective observation of Koreans in the film. Contrary to the Koreans in the film, the Korean audiences of <Never Ending Peace and Love> can observe the look of Koreans in Chandra’s viewpoint, listen to Chandra’s poor, but continuous and repetitive Korean expression and her auditory nonverbal language like sigh, feel frustrated in Koreans who cannot hear, but empathize with Chandra who cannot communicate. It makes us wear their shoes to experience the immigrants’ viewpoint in concrete multicultural communication situations shown in multicultural films. This is the process of communication with immigrants, and becomes a chance to understand their lives. It is also possible to have a chance for self-reflection and introspection by objectively examining objectified Koreans.

Multiculturalism is the source of identity, innovation, and creativity, helping to connect all countries in the world. Therefore, building a happy and civilized multicultural family is the goal of every country and everybody. Vietnam and South Korea officially established diplomatic relations on December 22, 1992. Over the past 30 years, the two countries relations have developed rapidly and positively in many fields such as politics, investment, trade, tourism, and culture. The number of Korean- Vietnamese multicultural families increased due to the demand for a stable and happy marriage. However, differences in language, especially culture, make vulnerable family members (women, children) face many difficulties such as unhappy married life; education issues; naturalization issues; repatriation; community reintegration. The purpose of the study is to ensure the interests of members of multicultural families and to promote cooperation and friendship between the two countries (Vietnam - Korea) in the field of culture. This study focuses on the disadvantaged group of repatriating women and children. With the content: "Policy recommendations for supporting the repatriation of women and children - A family practical study in Vietnam”, the study focuses on clarifying: (i) Some suggestive situations; (ii) Difficulties; (iii) Proposing some solutions. The research was carried out by specific methods such as (i) Literature review; (ii) Analysis of available statistics; (iii) Practical research through the qualitative survey (in-depth interviews with vulnerable groups (including women and children)). The purpose of the study is to ensure the rights of repatriating women and children, thereby improving the efficiency of cooperation and friendship between the two countries (Vietnam - Korea) in the field of multicultural management.

The purpose of this paper is to propose the actual condition of family and local library on reading and to propose the activation plans of reading in Korea. The survey was contucted on student, parents, and teachers. The survey included students and parents' reading hours, family reading obstacles, family reading activation requirements, local library usage frequency and purpose of use and disability requirements, and local community reading activation requirements. As a result of the study, students answered 0.76 hours per week and parents 1.42 hours per week, and students were short of books to read, and parents were short of time to read books. For the obstacles to home reading education, parents cited a lack of time for their children, lack of expertise in reading guidance, and lack of time for parents. In order to revitalize home reading, students were most hoping to secure the books they wanted to read, and parents said they should secure time to read. On the other hand, due to the status of community-linked reading, it was investigated that students visit local libraries about 2.26 times a week. As for the obstacles to the use of local libraries, students, teachers, and parents all cited the inconvenience of transportation as a priority. On the other hand, students visited to the local library is to approximately 2.26 times a week. As barriers to use the local library, students, teachers, and parents commonly cited as traffic inconvenience. Wishes to use the local library to enable ease of transport also cited as a priority. As a way to activating home reading, it was requested in the order of securing time to read books, securing books you want to read, and reading activities with your family. As a way to activating the use of local libraries, convenient transportation systems for library use, book equipment suitable for interest and interest, and recommendations of good book appeared in order. Based on these results, this paper suggested the strategies to activate reading.

Art collaboration is for artists to create new added value, and individuals, companies, and countries create artistic business opportunities through creative collaboration at the boundary between technology and art. Places where exhibitions and art are held have become famous, increasing the value of urban brands and becoming tourist destinations. As a research method, the phenomenon of art collaboration was studied through literature and case studies. You can see the collaboration cases of Uniqlo and MoMA Gallery, Louis Vuitton and Jeff Koons, and Lee Woo-hwan and Chateau-Mutong Wine as convergence exhibitions and businesses of domestic and foreign companies and arts. It can be seen that the collaboration research between companies and arts through KOTRA's matching of companies and arts, Sejong Center installation art, Seongsu-dong non-mainstream art street culture, and Arttainer pop-up store can be a unique way of attracting. As a result of the study, the development patterns of domestic art collaboration are as follows. First, national-led social values and art collaboration contain social values such as eco-friendly and upcycling, and are mainly led by KOTRA institutions. Second, companies combine ABSOLUT companies and eco-friendly special paints to convey the public message of sustainability to the public as art, and third, individuals prefer non-face-to-face lounges and private spaces in luxury hotels where artists' works are displayed in order to have life-shot attractions. In conclusion, the artist drew the conclusion that the existing value of exhibition and sale of works can create an art collaboration synergy value that strengthens the artist-centered urban brand attraction through the industrialization of art collaboration.
