국내 단일언어주의 정책 변화의 필요성 탐색 : 링구아 프랑카, 트랜스링구얼 논점을 기반으로

초록

In this article, we review studies on lingua franca and translingual practice to critically arguedominant monolingually orientedlanguage policies in South Korea. Previous empirical research on English as Lingua Franca (ELF), which refers to English as a contact language used between people who do not share common native tongue, shows that speakers bring pragmatic, discourse strategies and attitudinal resources to facilitate negotiation. Furthermore, translingual approach demonstrates that rather than depending on shared linguistic knowledge, multilinguals constantly cross borders of language and develop intersubjective norms by employing diverse semiotic and ecological resources. After reviewing the previous studies, we critically examined the issues of language policies in South Korea which are primarily based on monolingual constructs. We argued that monolingual approaches restrict the use of different languages other than Korean-only or English-only, and, therefore, discriminate even ELF and translingual users. Following this critical view on language policies, social inequality issues regarding monolingual approach on language assessment will also be presented.
