Abstract
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 12(3), 129-149. This study deals with the introduction of English as a second official language into South Korea and aims at identifying its effect on Korean linguistic identity and social phenomenon. Since English was introduced into Korean primary schools as a compulsory subject in 1997, the introduction of English as the second official language has been frequently becoming a public issue in South Korea. In attempting to identify why the introduction of English is a problem, this study examines the existing literature which is relevant to issues concerned: the relationship between language and identity is reviewed and then why Korean language is important to Korean people is explained. Furthermore, many cases where the incursion of new language into mother tongue environment happened are provided and the strong influence of English as a result of early English learning is discussed. This study concludes that the introduction of English as the second official language is undesirable, as it is evident in many studies that a more powerful language weakens a group's linguistic identity, brings serious social problems and, more importantly, restoring lost linguistic identity requires a huge amount of cost.
