ABSTRACT

I investigated three areas through this study to look into multicultural family members' recognition and attitude about 'bilingual education policy of multicultural society in Korea.' They are recognition and attitude about bilingual education and social integration in Korea, those about educational environment of multicultural community, and those about educational policy for multicultural community. I came to three conclusions by analysis. First, multicultural family members have open and receptive attitude towards multicultural society and they have strong willingness to participate in bilingual educational programs. Second, in the light of demography, women rather than men, those younger, those lower educated, those having shorter residence period have positive attitude towards bilingual and multicultural society. Third, multicultural family members who are older or higher educated think that multicultural family members' opinions need to be reflected in multicultural policy making. This analysis shows that bilingual education should be improved qualitatively and enhanced for desirable social integration, respect of language right and enhancement of citizens' multicultural bilingual capabilities.
