Grounded Theory Method

The study stemmed from a continuing interest in the change in motivation of L2 learners who experience contextual shift using the possible selves framework (Dornyei, 2005). Specifically, it investigated the changes in the L2 motivational system of two South Korean university students in the Philippines. Using grounded-theory method, the two students were interviewed about their language learning experience prior and during the study abroad context. The findings demonstrated that the environment shift had influenced changes in their L2 motivational system. Although the learners' learning profiles were not identical, evident traces of positive motivation were present in their individual narrations. Furthermore, their L2 goals, perception on English language learning and the target community are what contributed to the changes in their L2 motivational system. The participants' statements also featured several traditional intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influenced their L2 self-images at varying levels. Moreover, the changes in the participants’ ideal L2 self as a competent English user appeared to be temporary because of the uncertainties that their national duties pose to their professional ambitions. The study also demonstrates the existence of L2 self in Korean learners.

The Impact

This chapter highlights the stories of 1990s and 2000s street dancers in order to explore the impact of Filipino familial and labor migration since the early 1970s. Although scholars have usually depicted global hip-hop as an outward flow from the United States, this chapter points to an alternative trajectory—when Filipino talent is part of the 10 percent of the Filipino population to have worked outside the Philippines. This chapter analyzes two figurations—overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and Petisyonados—that simultaneously recode state-brokered gendered migration, economic motivation, and personal rationale. The processes of migrant identity formation reveal a crucial narrative by which racial and sexual formation factor into the rooting and uprooting of Filipino people and culture. Demythologizing talent and the migrant hero trope, these Filipinos exemplify how the global mobility of people and individual motility of bodies prove to be more closely related than previously thought.

Conflicting Messages

Filipinos are avid consumers of exported South Korean media products. Teenagers and young adults know the lyrics and dance moves of their favorite K-Pop performers while older viewers are engrossed in the weekly Korean television dramas (known in the Philippines as ‘Koreanovelas’). There exists, however, a fundamental disconnect between the idealised images disseminated in the media and their everyday lived experiences that are characterised by mutual antipathy. My objective in this research project was to examine how Filipino consumers negotiate these conflicting messages by exploring the correlation between the consumption of Korean media products and the consumerism of Korean non-media products by Filipino fans of the Korean Wave.

Popular Protest

This article deals with the scandals that engulfed South Korea’s president, Park Geun-hye, in 2016–17 and the role of popular protest in how she, her confidante, and associated officials and business leaders were pursued, prosecuted, and jailed. The South Korean experience is located in a framework of integrity institutions and the 1986 exemplar of “people power” in the Philippines.

Modelling Framework

This paper investigates the rise of South Korean tourism in the Philippines from 2014 to 2018 and explain its behavior year-to-year, and the other part is to forecast it’s growth or decline in the next following years; all of this is done through a Seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) modelling framework. Results reveal that Korean arrivals were best modelled through a ARIMA(1,0,0)(2,1,0)₁₂ model, with residuals that are randomly distributed and contain no autocorrelations and an AICc value of -36.18, the lowest among the tested variations of the model, the model is the most appropriate to forecast the data for a 3-year period.

Gender Influences

Despite a considerable amount of research conducted on Asian labor migration, decidedly little attention has focused on the vulnerability and exploitation of women overseas contract workers. This article examines how the social construction of gender influences the migration of Filipina overseas workers and contributes to the increased vulnerability and exploitation of women migrants. In particular, direct and indirect socialization processes, as well as gendered and racial stereotypes, are manifest within the labor recruitment process, helping to channel women migrants into the domestic services and entertainment sectors of this migration flow.

Subject The impact of populist politics on South Korean foreign policy. Significance The major foreign policy initiatives of Park Geun-hye's administration have failed to achieve headway and are unlikely to. Structural weaknesses make foreign policy reactive and short-term, inhibit consideration of longer-term strategies and make leaders more susceptible to populism. Impacts Seoul has the technical capability to acquire nuclear weapons; the barriers are political. Discussion of nuclear armament by an erstwhile champion of non-proliferation will weaken the global non-proliferation regime. Washington already faces an alliance management challenge in the Philippines; populism in South Korea could create another.

Global Modernity

This article looks at mobile media access in the Philippines and the kind of social intimacies that have emerged from it. To frame our discussion, we use the concept of ‘glocal intimacies’. This pertains to how mobile technologies have normalised and intensified the entanglement of people’s relationships of closeness with the ever-shifting and constantly negotiated flows between global modernity and local everyday life. We show that the uneven access that Filipinos have has led to equally uneven ways in which they imagine and enact intimate relationships. Drawing on case studies emblematic of the country’s key income clusters, we point out the emergence of a contradictory situation, wherein those with relatively high-quality access are those who are least dependent on mobile media for their glocal intimacies. Meanwhile, those with relatively low-quality access are those who are actually most dependent on mobile-mediated communication for such intimacies.
