The study of tourism experiences has gained significant attention for its potential to drive tourism prosperity. This interest is particularly relevant in the context of Chinese tourists, who accounted for a significant share of global tourism spending before the COVID-19 pandemic nearly one-fifth. As the world gradually recovers from the effects of the pandemic, the rebound in the tourism sector must be effectively capitalized on, and destinations must actively improve their services to attract more tourists seeking enriching experiences. This study utilizes a comprehensive mixed-methods approach combining text mining and interviews to explore the success factors that contribute to Chinese tourists’ overall tourism experience during their trip to South Korea and Japan. The study specifically targets new Chinese tourists and identifies their changing preferences and expectations. To provide a deeper understanding of the findings, the study utilizes a tourism experience conceptual model to systematically analyze the key tourism experience elements, covering both positive and negative factors, encountered by Chinese tourists in Seoul and Tokyo. Based on these insights, the study aims to provide city-specific practical recommendations to help local tourism industry stakeholders enhance their services and provide visitors with a more rewarding experience. By examining the specific tourism experiences of Chinese travelers, this study not only contributes to the existing literature but also provides actionable insights that can be applied to a variety of destinations to guide their continued growth and improvement.

The present study investigated academic writing difficulties of international students who are currently studying in higher education in South Korea. Data was gathered from a mix of methods: text analysis, interviews. At first, findings of text analysis showed that the rate of mistakes related to ‘grammar & sentence expression’ were the highest. Then, followed by ‘vocabulary’, ‘composition & flow’, ‘quotation’, ‘discourse context’ consecutively. By comparison, in the findings of interview data analysis, participants perceived that anything related to ‘vocabulary’ is the hardest of all. With this, there are writing difficulties in sequence ‘grammar/sentence’, ‘lack of writing time’, ‘writing thesis’, ‘understanding the different system between mother tongue and Korean’, ‘code-switching’. In order to identify the causes of writing difficulties, researcher examined participants’ learning and teaching experiences from the past to the present. Main six causes emerged: (ⅰ) non-academic purposive writing practices, (ⅱ) academic purposive writing practices of which becomes ineffective to unfitting level and aim of the student, (ⅲ) lack of writing practices, (ⅳ) lack of feedback and revision Processes, (ⅴ) teaching quality of non-Korean teachers, teaching quality of native Korean teachers. Lastly, according to the needs analysis for writing improvement, participants wanted that: (ⅰ) sufficient feedback and revision process with correction instruction program, (ⅱ) imitative writing method, (ⅲ) well balanced lesson between vocabulary and grammar, (ⅳ) levelled and various class options, (ⅴ) effective pre-sessional course.

The present study examined the accuracy with which police officers identified the types of questions asked during investigative interviews with alleged child abuse victims. Factors affecting their accuracy were also explored. One hundred and twenty Korean police officers were asked to classify 50 questions into one of five categories (invitations, facilitators, directives, option-posing and suggestive prompts). The overall accuracy rate was 65.6%; invitations were correctly classified most often (85.5%) whereas suggestive questions were least accurately identified (42.3%). Police officers tended to overestimate their use of invitations by incorrectly identifying directive questions as invitations. Suggestive questions were mistakenly identified as option-posing questions (22.2%), directive questions (15.1%), and even invitations (5.6%). Being trained to use the NICHD Protocol was the only factor significantly predicting higher accuracy.

Purpose: Community child centers (CCCs) were introduced to provide after-school activities and care, including meal services to children from low-income families. The assistant cooks, who have the main responsibility for making and serving food at CCCs, are a major factor influencing the eating habits of children using CCCs. In this study, we tried to identify and understand who the assistant cooks are, what their job responsibilities are, and what they need in order to be able to provide children with healthy meals. Methods: Three focus group interviews were held with 17 workfare program participants who worked as assistant cooks at CCCs, and content analysis methods were applied using the NVivo 12 qualitative data analysis software. Results: The assistant cooks reflected on their perceptions of the children's health at the CCCs, their own cooking style, and their role at the CCCs. Additionally, barriers to the optimal provision of their services were pointed out, and improvements were suggested. Conclusion: The results of this study can be used as a fundamental resource for the development of tailored interventions that consider a child's unique environment to address health disparities, specifically with respect to childhood obesity.

Despite these challenges, ongoing enhancements aim to streamline the system and expand its coverage. The study provides valuable insights into the integration of technology in emergency response systems, emphasizing the need for continued improvements to optimize efficiency and effectiveness. Future research should explore broader evaluations and stakeholder perspectives to further enhance ICT-EMS implementation.

해외로 입양된 한국 입양인이 성년이 되면서 한국으로 귀환하여 친부모를 찾는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 한국에 거주하고 있는 42명의 해외입양인을 대상으로 심층면접 하고, 해외입양인의 진가족찾기와 관련된 주요한 이슈를 분석하는데 주요한 목적이 있다. 본 심층면접에 참여한 42명의 대상자는 성별과 출신지역의 비율이 같다. 또한 연령은 23~47세까지 분포 하고 있다. 한국에 귀환한 시기도 1996년부터 2011년까지인 것으로 나타났다. 현재 한국에서 해외입양인을 대상으로 시행되고 있는 해외입양인 사후 관리 서비스(post adoption service)는 주로 친가족찾기와 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해외입양인들에게 가장 중요한 이슈라고 할 수 있는 친가족찾기에 관한 중요성과 해외입양인이 자신의 입양기록을 열람할 수 있는 권리에 주요한 연구의 초점을 두고 있다. 또한 연구결과 사후 관리 서비스 제공자들은 성인 해외입양인과 그들의 친가족을 위해 보다 장기적인 지원책이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

These years, an increasing number of overseas Korean adoptees are coming of age, many of whom have returned to Korea to search for their birth family. This means that adoptees have become more visible in Korean society. At its beginning, post-adoption services for adoptees were limited to one-off cultural events. However today adoption agencies, NGOs, private organizations and numerous individuals provide various post-adoption services extending far beyond cultural activities. This support recognizes the fact that adoption is a unique experience and a life-long process. The services and programs are often centered around themes such as identity and cultural heritage - of which birth family search has proven to be the most sought-after service. This study examines issues related to birth family search among 42 adult overseas Korean adoptees residing in Korea. The purposive sample consisted of an equal number of men and women, Americans, and Europeans (including one Australian participant). The youngest participant was 23 years old, the oldest 47 years old. The participants had returned to Korea between 1996 and 2011. Through in-depth interviews on general post-adoption service needs, 7 themes about birth family search emerged. Among these, 4 themes related to stages of the birth family search process: Pre-search preparation, search, reunion and post-reunion. And 3 themes related to issues involved with birth family search: Post-adoption services are more than birth family search, emphasizing the importance of birth family search, and arguing for the right to access personal adoption records. These findings suggest that current guidelines for birth family search are unclear, and the cause of much distress and confusion during the search process. Different perceptions of birth family search among the members of the adoption triangle and adoption facilitators are also a cause for conflicts. While adult adoptees generally regard birth family search as an integrated part of their adoption process, adoption social workers tend to perceive this as an implicit critique of their professional work. Due to adoption social workers’ disengagement, adult adoptees have typically found that support from adoption agencies is largely inadequate. Many participants spoke in favor of an independent centralized birth family search system. On the basis of these findings, the authors suggest that a reform of the post-adoption service delivery system, including birth family search, address the current methods of case management and the social stigmatization of adoptees and their birth families. The newly established Korea Central Adoption Resources could play a significant role in this restructuring. Systematic efforts is necessary to promote social acceptance of adoptees and their birth families.

This paper discusses the utilization of multi-dimensional (MD) analysis (Biber, 1988; 1995) to examine linguistic variation in learner speech represented by transcribed interviews from the Louvain International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage (LINDSEI). LINDSEI is the first large-scale corpus of spoken learner English with sub-corpora of interview responses from eleven different mother-tongue backgrounds. The primary goals of this study are: to extract and identify the linguistic dimensions of learner speech from LINDSEI, to functionally interpret these dimensions, and to compare how these dimensions are distributed across speakers’ eleven first language backgrounds. Results show that the four primary functional dimensions of learner speech are: Involved Conversational Style vs. Informational Production; Complex Statement of Opinion; Formal, Academic Focus of Discussion vs. Informal, Non-Academic Discourse; and Personal Narrative Prose vs. Non-Narrative Discourse. Interesting differences are observed in how these dimensions are used by learners across first language backgrounds and interview tasks.

The present study explored the experiences of six elementary teachers as they had strived to develop expertise in teaching English since it was introduced as a regular subject in 1997. The focus was on what they have done for their professional development, what they perceive to have influenced on the acquisition of expertise, and how they reflect on their professional growth over time. Two rounds of life story interviews were conducted with each teacher, and they were all recorded on digital audiotape and transcribed verbatim. Interviews centered on uncovering teachers’professional histories, teacher education experiences, past and current work with children, conceptions of themselves as an English teacher, critical incidents in their teaching careers, and their future career plans. Five themes emerged from the content analysis of the interview data. They include teacher development as social development; the unique challenges of being and becoming an English teacher; learning for and from students; developmental concerns and needs in teachers’ career cycle; and the impact of policy changes on teachers. The study concludes with some implications for educating in-service teachers.

This study aimed to explore viewers perceptions and practices in relation to consuming OTT content. Based on understanding of users of OTT (Over the Top) services through in-depth interviews, this study tried to define binge-watching, and also to understand the tendency to binge-watch and motivations for it. We defined binge-watching as a behavior which occurs when people watch three or more episodes of the same series in one sitting using the same platform. Most participants enjoyed it personally and conveniently as leisure activities. Some participants in this study pathologically perceived binge-watching and tended to attribute the causes of such a binge-watching behavior to external factors rather than attributing them to their own predispositions or inclinations. Motives for binge-watching were classified into two main groups: For some, it helped them feel emotionally stable or improve their negative emotional status, while others watched out of curiosity about what was going to happen in the next episode. For the first group, we found that although binge-watching helped individuals to relieve emotions such as boredom or depression, it did not help them to escape from reality. In this study, users were found to perceive binge-watching in diverse ways. While previous research has focused on analyzing consumer behavior within a specific frame when studying binge-watching, this study recognizes the significance of individuals perceiving binge-watching differently and exhibiting varied behaviors for various reasons.

This small-scale interview-based case study conducted in Thailand has pursued a dual thesis. The primary objective is that of an examination into the perceptions among Thai college students in Thailand towards selected English language learning strategies, their own learning experiences prior to entry to their English-medium college, and finally their beliefs concerning native- and non-native teachers of English. Its findings show a surprisingly diversified set of experiences and influences towards English language learning and their teachers existed among students upon entry to the college. A second focus of the study, that of an enquiry into a suitable methodology for this sample size and cultural setting, reveals that a semi-structured interview format was practical for the various levels of linguistic ability and conceptual awareness among students interviewed in English. Also, of some significance is the adapted methodology employed for ‘reducing’ the large amount of interview data collected. This dual focus to the study has served the purpose of not simply revealing the attitudes towards English language learning of a small group of Thai college entrants, but also informs teacher-researchers in similar settings as to appropriate interview technique and data reduction.

In the case of youth participants, topics were organized as “self-sufficiency projects as work experiences and opportunities,” “self-sufficiency as an interface between relationships, work and welfare,” and “promotion of awareness and efficacy of self-change,” while supporters were organized as “needs for a youth-appropriate self-sufficiency model” and “flexible manual requests for youth vitality, insincerity, and low performance.” This study discussed the necessity of establishing a business model from a long-term perspective and differentiated business operation for youth self-sufficiency project.

본 연구는 다양한 성별 정체성 및 성적 지향의 성소수자 17명이 참여한 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 사회철학자 악셀 호네트의 인정투쟁 이론을 기반으로 질적 분석하였다. 이를 통해 성소수자 혐오폭력의 양상, 이것이 성소수자에게 가하는 억압의 양상, 그리고 혐오폭력 문제 해결의 대안을 탐구하고자 하였다. 분석 결과 59개 하위주제, 15개 상위주제, 그리고 3개의 범주를 발견하였다. 범주는 존재의 말살, 정처없는 무국적자: 존엄함으로부터의 소외, 인정투쟁: 연대 속에서 존엄성 실현 확장으로 구성하였다. 이 안에서 호네트의 이론이 다음과 같이 드러났다. 성소수자는 혐오폭력에서 존재 말살이라는 심리사회적 죽음과 존엄의 훼손을 겪지만, 가로막힘과 은폐, 소외 속에서 인정투쟁의 동기를 얻어 자신을 드러내고 다양성 구현을 위한 상호인정의 연대에 동참하며, 사회는 이러한 연대 속에서 도덕적으로 진전할 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 혐오폭력을 재정의 하였고 나아가 성소수자를 포함한 다양성 인정으로 인간 존엄성 실현에 기여하는 상호인정의 실천과 심리학자의 역량에 대해 제안하였다.

This study analyzed focus group interviews conducted with 17 participants with various gender identities and sexual orientations based on the Struggle for Recognition theory of the social philosopher Axel Honneth. By this the aim was to seek the aspects of hate violence against sexual minorities and the result of this oppression, and to explore alternative solutions overcoming hate. Analysis revealed 59 sub-themes, 15 themes, and three categories. Categories were, “genocide of existence”, “drifting displacement: alienation from dignity”, and “struggle for recognition: expansion of dignity realization through solidarity”. Honneth’s theory appeared in that sexual minorities experienced psycho-social death of existence and damage in dignity from hate violence, however, became motivated fueled by barriers, covering, and alienation, to reveal themselves in mutual recognition of solidarity for realizing diversity which in result may lead to the moral development of the society. By this hate-base violence was redefined, and further, praxis for mutual recognition and competency as a psychologist to recognize diversity including sexual minorities as to contribute to human dignity realization were suggested.
