“…Ifølge den koreanske aldringsforsker Huyn-Sook Yoon (2013) skal aldringsudfordringen også forstås i forhold til den specifikke sydkoreanske samfundsudvikling. Det sydkoreanske samfund er ifølge Yoon gået fra i 60'erne at vaere et samfund i eksplosiv økonomisk vaekst til økonomisk recession i slut-90'erne med stigende arbejdsløshed, ulighed og fattigdom til følge, som isaer ramte lavindkomstgrupper og aeldre borgere (Yoon 2013). Hertil kommer kombinationen af en hastigt stigende aeldrebefolkning og en saerlig lav fødselsrate, der ligesom mange andre steder i verden ses som en potentiel økonomisk udfordring (Lew et al 2011;Pezzutto 2019).…”

“…Derud over lever 48,6 procent under fattigdomsgraensen, og selvmordsraten for sydkoreanske aeldre er steget markant. I takt med den stigende bekymring for de socioøkonomiske konsekvenser af det aldrende samfund blev det omkring årtusindskiftet vigtigt for den sydkoreanske stat at intervenere og udvikle specifikke sundhedsinterventioner og politikker, specifikt rettet mod aeldre (Yoon 2013).…”

Der er i de senere år i Danmark sket store forandringer i måderne, hvorpå omsorgog pleje til ældre organiseres i de danske kommuner. Forandringerne ersket for at afbøde, hvad der fra politisk hold vurderes som negative følgevirkningeraf den demografiske udvikling med flere ældre. På denne baggrund erinnovationsmodeller og knowhow, som adresserer disse udfordringer, blevet envare, som både private virksomheder og den nationale sundhedssektor investereri og brander sig på internationalt. I forbindelse med vores feltarbejde har vifulgt udvekslinger af visioner for ældreomsorg mellem Danmark og Sydkorea,mere specifikt mellem strategiske satsninger på digitalisering på Ærø til visionerfor en reorganisering af ældreomsorgen i Busan, Sydkorea. Herudover har vi interviewetmedarbejdere i living labs, politikere og praktikere i ældreomsorgen.Vi argumenterer for, at disse visioner for ældreomsorg udpeger digitale løsningersom svaret på det forventede stigende plejebehov. Visionerne er samtidigindlejret i forestillinger om en „nordisk model“, som kan skaleres på en måde,der både er rettet indad mod aktører i det danske sundhedsvæsen og udad modet internationalt marked. Vi konkluderer, at visionerne, som vi udfolder med begrebetsociotekniske forestillinger, er forbundet med økonomiske styringslogikkerog dagsordener. I den forbindelse peger vi på, at lokale omsorgspraksisserusynliggøres, når visioner for ældreomsorg skaleres, men at de samtidig kan udgøreen ressource for lokale aktører. Artiklen bidrager med viden om, hvordansundhedsinnovation og velfærdsstatslig ældreomsorg udvikles i udvekslingenmellem ekspertise, teknologi og visioner både lokalt og globalt

“…Despite the wide global use of several English varieties, both English education providers and learners in Korea have prioritized teaching the 'standard' variety of English (i.e., American or British), referring to it as native English (Ahn et al 2020). In general, Korean adults are most familiar with American English (AmE), perceiving it as the most potent variety of English and preferring to learn it over other forms of English (Ahn 2017;Byun 2016;Yoon 2007). Korean English teachers in elementary schools also have this paradoxical perception, agreeing that there is a need to recognize the importance of accepting different varieties of English but at the same time that it is more effective to focus on teaching one particular variety of English, such as AmE, for practical reasons (Seo 2016).…”

“…Meanwhile, IC speakers applauded the speech for the 'use of very highlevel vocabularies', 'the clear sentence structure', and 'the directness of message delivery' (EBS Production Team 2018). It seems clear that IC English varieties are significantly more favored than other varieties (Garrett 2009;Liou 2010;Matsuda and Friedrich 2011;Yoon 2007) in many EC countries, such as China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, where the norms of English varieties largely come from external sources (Kachru 1985, pp. 16-17).…”

Korean Children’s Attitudes toward Varieties of English: The Role of Age and English Learning Environment

et al. 2021

This study investigates young Korean children’s attitudes toward three English varieties: American English (AmE), Singapore English (SiE), and Korean English (KoE). A total of 42 Korean children participated in this study. For data analysis purposes, the results were categorized according to the children’s age and their experience of exposure to formal English learning. In addition to this, 30 Singaporean children were also involved in the study, and their results were compared with the results of the younger group of Korean children. A mixed methodological approach, which included a modified verbal guise technique appropriate for use with children and semi-structured interviews, was also adopted. The results show that 5-year-old Korean and Singaporean children do not prefer one specific variety of English more than the other varieties of English. However, this was not the case for 12-year-old Korean children. These older Korean children preferred AmE and SiE more than KoE, and the “speaker’s pronunciation” was considered to be the critical feature in determining these attitudes. The findings suggest that Korean children’s developing attitudes toward a particular variety of English emerge sometime during their elementary school years.
