research questions (use "덧글" function)
In my view, research starts with research questions. I suggested broad topics such as multiculturalism and digital culture. However, as I addressed, you can choose a topic that is meaningful to you. Research regarding a job market, for instance, can be a practical and important for some seniors. Please post your two tentative research questions (in interrogative forms) and your rationale why you chose your topic. Posting may help you clarify what you are passionately interested in. Also, I believe that reading others' work helps you think from multiple perspectives. We will build knowledge about writing step by step and land on the promised land.In our class discussion, you showed fascinating participation. I hope that you enjoyed the class as much as I did. Your constructive criticism and comments also help me broaden my horizon, improve the quality of class, and increase classroom interaction. I encourage you to ask me questions during/after class. If you are confused, others also may be confused. Questioning helps increase class interaction, clarify meaning, and elicit further questions. In particular, I thank the student who shared the non-English major perspective. Non-English majors contribute to our class by bringing their unique background. For one example, a student from Library Science demonstrated that her major knowledge helped us identify a specific topic such as information gap . For another example, a student from Education department shared her research method. The contribution of non-English major students is vital for us to broaden our perspectives on writing and ways of learning.

* My Topic : Kosian.
(1) Who are Kosians ?
(2) How lives Kosian in Korea ?
When I first heard 'Multiculturalism', I thought that many foreigners now live in Korea.
It has been a long time since Korea is no longer a homogeneous nation. Therefore,understanding Multiculturalism is one of the principal challenges of our day.
But,foreigners living in Korea have many problems.
Meanwhile I searched their life, I found people called 'Kosian'.
That word(Kosian)was unfamiliar to me, I deeply wanted to know their life in Korea and difficulty and benefits experienced by them.
But I certainly choose not my research paper's topic , I'm interested in this topic.
I hope that I hear lots of their stories for understanding and comprehending them.
I ask that you review my research questions and make any necessary changes. ^^ Thanks you.

songyi: your topic can be discussed from sociological point of view. in other words, your topic is very academic, though your questions are not framed academically. as a starting point, your research questions look acceptable. i like your topic, too; i have been so surprised to see many foreigners when i arrived in korea this august. on the other hand, i confront two issues: there should be clear rationale for your research and the SIGNIFICANCE of your research. for example, how your research finding will help you and us/your audience? simply put, it would be safe if you can scholarly explain why your topic is significant.
