Source Countries

This article critically examines the close tie between host and source countries in producing education migration. Using South Korea and Canada as a case study, our analysis illustrates how the gradual granting/limiting of citizenship to education migrants is ingrained in social policy which contributes to the nation-building of the host country while relying on ‘foreign’ income from the source country, impinging on family life (i.e. splitting family structure trans-nationally), and risking social integration. Although the actors are changed from labor migrants to education migrants the same dynamic of excluding migrants from citizenship and distinguishing worthy migrants from non-worthy migrants remains unchanged.

Grounded Theory Method

The study stemmed from a continuing interest in the change in motivation of L2 learners who experience contextual shift using the possible selves framework (Dornyei, 2005). Specifically, it investigated the changes in the L2 motivational system of two South Korean university students in the Philippines. Using grounded-theory method, the two students were interviewed about their language learning experience prior and during the study abroad context. The findings demonstrated that the environment shift had influenced changes in their L2 motivational system. Although the learners' learning profiles were not identical, evident traces of positive motivation were present in their individual narrations. Furthermore, their L2 goals, perception on English language learning and the target community are what contributed to the changes in their L2 motivational system. The participants' statements also featured several traditional intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influenced their L2 self-images at varying levels. Moreover, the changes in the participants’ ideal L2 self as a competent English user appeared to be temporary because of the uncertainties that their national duties pose to their professional ambitions. The study also demonstrates the existence of L2 self in Korean learners.

Asian Education

Any education system has its advantages and disadvantages and the Botswana education system was developed to produce critical thinkers, problem solvers and innovative students. The system was framed to provide opportunities for all learners in order to develop their capabilities. However, the system is currently faced with a myriad of challenges as there are unprecedented proportions of graduates' unemployment, poor performance from national examinations, and dropping out of school. To bring this discussion into perspective, this paper adopts a narrative approach using literature and document analysis to examine Botswana's education system in comparison with the Asian education system. The paper seeks to learn lessons from the Asian education system; in particular, South Korea as its education systems is known to be robust and efficient in producing learners who continuously make positive changes in transforming their nation. In this regard, recommendations on what could be done to rectify the situation in Botswana in light of the South Korean education system have been made.

Cultural Explanation

In 1960, South Korean students staged a major series of demonstrations against their government’s abuses of power. Known as the April 19th Revolution, the movement culminated in the resignation of authoritarian president Syngman Rhee. This book explores media and ideological texts of the post-Korean War years to advance a cultural explanation of that seminal event. It focuses on gendered discourse and ideology that positioned youths as the hope, exemplars, and representatives of the postcolonial nation. Intellectuals and ideologues urged youths to contribute to nation building by enacting patriotic virtues in the everyday. Students also learned about anticolonial resistance as a way to cultivate their nation-centered probity for the postcolonial era. With its emphasis on upstanding youth action, patriotic education of the 1950s ironically prepared students to engage in antigovernment protest on behalf of the nation in April 19th. Not long after that landmark event, however, Park Chung Hee’s coup of May 16, 1961 effected a quick return to authoritarian rule. The Park regime refigured the emphasis on everyday patriotism in order to mobilize men and women for its controversial program of rapid and uneven economic development. Conversely, memories of April 19th formed the basis of South Korea’s student-driven democratization (1964-1987).
