Development of Educational Contents in Multicultural Education for Marriage Immigrant Women – Focused on Educational Capital

This study aims to develop educational contents for marriage immigrants by analyzing the programs of the multicultural family support centers and developing the curricular appropriate for them. A number of the programs intend to intensify social welfare for the marriage immigrants by promoting Korean proficiency. Therefore, it is essential to establish a comprehensive educational system for marriage immigrants, who are more likely to face complex circumstances in a variety of fields such as child-caring and job hunting. Educational capital is one of the most significant qualities in life in Korea. In this context, this study suggests that the measures for expanding education capital should help marriage immigrants sustain their cultural identity and heighten self-esteem. Accordingly, Air and Correspondence High Schools can be utilized by devising the curricula customized for marriage immigrants.
