AB - Until Korean society began to change its orientation toward a multicultural society in the mid-2000s, Koreans had generally been used to believing in a myth of being a single-race and single-language nation. In the background of such changes, there were realities of social changes such as extremely low birth rates, rapid aging of the population, and rapid increases of multicultural families composed of immigrant workers, international marriage families, and North Korean defectors. Even though top-down policies for multiculturalism have continuously been announced, the transition towards a multicultural society has not been so streamlined and there remained a lot of problems.
International marriage in Korea drastically increased in the 2000s. As international marriage between Korea and Japan increased, children of Korea-Japan international marriages have also increased. Heritage Japanese language education for children born in the family of Korea-Japan international marriages can be divided into family-centered education and extra-family education. Besides family-centered heritage education, there are three extra-family educations such as public schools, support centers for multi-cultural families, and volunteer self-help groups. Volunteer self-help groups are organized in their respective regions by family members in order to provide Japanese language education and experiences in Japanese culture for their children. It is confirmed that there are 40 such self-help groups in Korea. However, there are a lot of tasks to be solved such as insufficient education facilities and teachers, lack of curriculum and teaching methods and lack of class-management know-how. Such self-help groups urgently require support and empowerment. It is also necessary for such self-help groups to form networks between themselves, exchange information and provide mutual support.
