  • Summary

    Chapter 30 investigates how Korean language education in the Republic of Korea (ROK) has influenced national development. The chapter argues that Korean language education in the ROK has directly and indirectly contributed to the establishment of national linguistic legitimacy. Reminding citizens of their personal and national identity, the notion of identity is associated with patriotism. Morality translates into moralism as it promotes the ethicality of individuals and the state. The chapter reviews developments such as the Hang?l writing revolution associated with King Sejong in the fifteenth century, the stylistic revolution associated the Korean language promotion movement led by Sigyeong Ju and the Chos?n Language Society, and the educational revolution in South Korea.
