This is reflected in the 2015 reform of national curriculum and instruction as it promotes cultural diversity and competence. As English textbooks are widely used in EFL classrooms in Korea by both students and teachers, it is useful to examine how much English textbooks are multiculturalism-friendly and -responsive. This study has 3 parts: 1) It makes a critical review of previous research on English textbooks evaluation checklists, 2) it then synthesizes them and proposes a new tentative multiculturalism-based criteria for English textbooks evaluation, and finally, 3) it applies the new subset of the criteria to an English textbook used in EFL classrooms in Korea to test its validity and practicality.

Effects and Limits of Core Schools for Multicultural Education (The Journal of Curriculum and Evaluation; Vol. 19, No. 1) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Hyosun Kim | Wonpyo Hong Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) This study investigates curriculum programs of core schools for multicultural education and teachers’ responses to their effects and limits. To address these topics, this study analyzes curricular documents collected from 18 elementary and secondary schools selected as exemplary cases in 2014. It also conducted in-depth interviews with 14 teachers who are in charge of planing and implementing multicultural programs in core schools. Major results support that multicultural core schools expand the targets of multicultural education to mainstream students, their parents and local residents beyond minority students and their parents. It turned out, however, that multicultural core schools still tend to untouch structural biases and discriminations, while focusing on extending students’ awareness of cultural and racial diversities. This study also reveals that participating teachers face such difficulties as heavy workloads, lack of collaboration from local schools, and lack of relevant experiences and instructional materials. Based on these results, this study suggests the sharing of successful programs, enhancing teachers awareness of the significance of multicultural education, and further supports for teachers in charge of multicultural education to achieve the targeted goals of multicultural core schools.
