Abstract

This chapter examines the processes by which the ideologies of English have been shaped in the Korean context from historical perspectives. Since English first arrived in Korea in 1882, popular beliefs about English have been constructed by the interplays of multiple factors born out of particular domestic events, which are defined as follows: (1) The arrival of English in Korea (1882–1909); (2) Japanese colonialism (1910–1945); (3) Independence and American control (1945–1960); (4) Modernization of Korea (1961–1992); (5) Korea in the context of globalization (1993–2013). On the basis of Bourdieu’s theory of capital, the genealogy of English in Korea illustrates how English has served as multiple forms of valued capital – cultural, economic, social, and symbolic – in the local context, and has thus been feverishly pursued by upwardly mobile Koreans.
