Abstract
The classroom culture of Korean schools has recently been changing as the population of linguistically and culturally diverse students increases. Students with multicultural backgrounds as well as Korea-born students returning from long residences in foreign countries have difficulties adjusting to Korean public schools due to a lack of Korean language proficiency and knowledge of Korean school culture. This study defines these students as Korean language learners (KLLs) and investigates both teacher and student perspectives on effective mathematics education for them. Cummins’ Quadrant model and the sheltered instruction observation protocol model, which were developed and used for English language learners (ELLs), are the frameworks used. The study explores various pedagogies for language learners and discusses the effectiveness and feasibility of ELL education models in a Korean school context based on the survey results of Korean elementary teachers and interviews of KLLs.
