Development of Korean education program for immigrant women using elementary school Korean

Abstract

This study was conducted to learn how marriage immigrant womencan improve their Korean language skills while performing their roleas parents. For this purpose, it was intended to use elementary schoolKorean textbooks as textbooks for Korean education targeting marriedimmigrant women. Of course, there are many Korean textbooks outnow, and ones that can be used by married immigrant women arebeing distributed sufficiently. However, the focus of this paper is notonly to improve the Korean language skills of married immigrantwomen but also to establish a role as a parent and restoreself-esteem. A minor but serious problem in multicultural families liesin ‘difference’. Children experience it from their peers at school, andmarried immigrant women are hurt by their children's disregard fordifferences. Therefore, in order to restore the self-esteem of childrenof multicultural families and married immigrant women, they shouldbe able to actively participate in their children's school problems. Inthis regard, if married immigrant women use Korean languageeducation as a textbook for their children, it is thought that they willbe able to recover not only Korean language skills but also theirauthority as mothers.Journal of Korean Studies in Central Eurasia
