Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze the current state of Korean language curriculum at universities in India and to explore and suggest ways to improve it. Recently, Korean language education in India has been expanding due to the influence of the Korean Wave, the influx of Korean companies into the Indian economy, and the adoption of Korean as a second language. As a result, three additional Korean language majors have been established at universities in India during the 2020s. In light of such recent developments in India, it is likely that Korean Education will continue to expand. Interviews were conducted with faculty members at universities that offer Korean language majors to analyze their current operations and needs. Based on the analysis results, the following directions were suggested for improvement: 1) establishing a basic model of the curriculum and categorizing the curriculum to reflect the characteristics of each university and the needs of learners, 2) reflecting the characteristics of the curriculum at the level of overseas university majors and reflecting local conditions and needs, 3) utilizing new education policies in India, and 4) utilizing online content and online methods.

Abstract:

Based on the idea of bricolage that a new meaning beyond that of each of objects can be created through combination and juxtaposition of various objets, this study finds a way of morphological-recomposing of urban space through combination and juxtaposition of existing urban fabric and new fabric and suggests this idea as new direction of urban regeneration. This study sets concept of bricolage as a philosophical ground of interpreting contemporary urban situation. In this concept, urban objects such as buildings from various zeitgeists are positively considered as potential textures which can construct meaningful context. Seoul, as the city having long history and experiencing colonization and development, appears dynamic urban structure full of various objects from various periods. However, in contrast with successful plazas and streets in Europe, objects in Seoul do not make a meaningful context as public space due to thoughtless development. This study defines this situation as ‘disorgnized-fabric’. Following the concept of bricolage, to find the way for those existing scattered objects to be organized as a context of meaningful public space, this study firstly researches the case of successful public space by morphological analysis. Secondly, this study carefully explores urban space in Seoul, and draws figure-ground diagram to grasp the form of current urban fabric by various urban-objects. As a result of exploration, a lot of urban spaces from Myeong-dong, one of vibrant commercial district in Seoul, to declining residential area are judged as having potential fabric which can become meaningful context by just small adjustment of relationship between existing objects. This study also confirmed that by inserting a new object with consideration of form of existing fabric, it is possible to accord a new context as plaza to existing void which have broken as several parts. This study defines it as form-based urban reconstruction through the idea of bricolage, and suggests that it could be one of philosophical ground of successful urban regeneration.
