Xenophilia in the South Korea news media and its implication on Korean teaching based on critical pedagogy

Ilham Kurnia Gustavakuan, Rudi Adi Nugroho

Abstract


Xenophilia describes an interest in foreigners, manners, or Korean culture that shows curiosity and hospitality towards Korean people and good cross-cultural exploration. This research aims to explore and describe the representation of visual and verbal components in South Korean news media and to find out the characteristics of Xenophilia. This research was conducted to provide a teaching model for Korean language teachers on how a phenomenon can be implemented. The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative by collecting visual and verbal data in the form of articles and news broadcasts, which were analyzed using a multimodality approach. The results of this research show that the visual and verbal component representations contain action/action processes and mental processes, and there are characteristics of Openness to Experience, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness to describe the enthusiasm and love of Indonesians for the hallyu in the news media of South Korea as a form of acceptance of foreign culture. Then, the depiction of Xenophilia was implemented through a critical pedagogical- based Korean teaching model. The teaching model has four phases, namely decontextualization of xenophilia, reflective development, class discussion, and assessment, that can be adapted in teaching the Korean language based on critical pedagogy.
