This study critically examines the linguistic inequalities and limitations of citizenship learning present in global citizenship education (GCED) at Korean universities and explores the applicability of extracurricular programs based on planned languages (e.g., Esperanto, Unish) as a practical alternative. In the multinational and the multilingual environment of university campuses, language policies centered on English and Korean often hinder international students’ learning and civic development. This paper argues that experimenting with planned languages has educational value in mitigating the inequities of linguistic power structures, while enabling experiential learning of linguistic justice, intercultural competence, and civic solidarity. Through philosophical and theoretical analysis, along with a concrete program design, this study proposes a new model in which university students in Korea can cultivate global citizenship through collaboration and critical reflection on an equal linguistic footing.
Abstract
This study critically examines the linguistic inequalities and limitations of citizenship learning present in global citizenship education (GCED) at Korean universities and explores the applicability of extracurricular programs based on planned languages (e.g., Esperanto, Unish) as a practical alternative. In the multinational and the multilingual environment of university campuses, language policies centered on English and Korean often hinder international students’ learning and civic development. This paper argues that experimenting with planned languages has educational value in mitigating the inequities of linguistic power structures, while enabling experiential learning of linguistic justice, intercultural competence, and civic solidarity. Through philosophical and theoretical analysis, along with a concrete program design, this study proposes a new model in which university students in Korea can cultivate global citizenship through collaboration and critical reflection on an equal linguistic footing.
