CRITICAL OUTLOOKS AND INSTITUTIONAL EDUCATION: JAPANESE AND KOREAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
Abstract
This article is the result of an academic collaboration between one Brazilian and one Croatian university for and during an international event held in the year 2015. The research used, as the basis for the article, was conducted at the intersection between Critical Discourse Analysis(CDA) and Language Policies in order to understand and analyze the vision build around teaching of Korean and Japanese as foreign languages. We decided to study official documents published by the main educational institutions of two countries - the Japan Foundation and Korea Foundation – as well as some governmental documents. We consulted two authors of CDA: Wodak (1997), Fairclough (2001) and three within the area of Language Policy - Tollfson (2006, 2008), Mcarthy (2011) and Hornberger (2008).Therefore, we present the main findings concerning the analysis of official discourse present in documents and images that form what is considered as an ideal student and/or teacher.
