Teaching Mathematics to Korean Language Learners: Application of ELL Education Models
11th Hawaii International Conference of Education

Abstract
As the population of linguistically and culturally diverse students increases,
Korean educators and practitioners encounter the needs to change the school system and
pedagogies. The situation in South Korea is unique in the sense that there is a group of
Korean-born students returning from long stays in foreign countries who have lost their
fluency in Korean. We define these students and immigrant students as Korean language
learners (KLLs) and make suggestions about teaching strategies for them. We first
examine a part of the Korean fourth grade mathematics textbook and English language
learner education models that have been used in the US and Canada. Finally, we design a
sample lesson based on our findings and ELL models.
