Abstract
This paper introduces "Dialogues with Diverse Koreans", an activity conducted in a Korean language class at K University. The activity aims to increase the awareness of diversity among the target language learners. During the activity, the learners had dialogues with three Diaspora Koreans of plurilingual and pluricultural backgrounds. Changes in the learners' awareness of "language, nation, culture and ethnicity" was observed in their post-activity reflections.
In addition, in observing the Zainichi learner, the possibility of increased levels of empowerment, and confidence in self-disclosure throughout the activity, was suggested.
