Abstract
This study is a review for studying the working memory of children with reading disabilities in Korea. We reviewed as follows. First, we reviewed studies about reading characteristics of children with the Korean reading disabilities. Most of them implied that children with reading disabilities had a difficulty in phonological processing and rapid speed naming tasks, and Korean reading disabilities had a difficulty in working memory. It was suggested that it was important to study about working memory in Korean reading disabilities. Second, we reviewed and compared the working memeory model of Baddeley and Hitch(1974) which studies on Korean reading disabilities were based on, to the working memory model of the Baddeley(2000) which added interactivities of short-term memory, and long-term memory and episodic buffer to it. Third, we reviewed the study of Jacquemot and Scott (2006) which was focused on the relationship between phonological short-term memory and speech processing, and the studies of Burgess and Hitch (2005, 2006) which were focused on computational models of working memory with putting long-term memory into context. Finally, we reviewed studies related to the working memory and novel information processing mechanisms of children with reading disabilities.

Abstract
This study aims at investigating syntactic function of sign space in Korean Sign Language (KSL). In sign language with features of the visual-gestural, sign space is not only physical space where an individual sign is produced but also linguistic space where noun arrangement, pronominal reference, verb agreement, etc. are actualized (Bellugi, 1990). In other words, sign space is syntactic space, providing linguistic information; however, no study on spatial function in KSL has yet been carried out. Therefore, this study demonstrates the syntactic function of space and its individual realizations, focusing on person, coreference, referential shift, subject-object-verb agreement, and comparison. As a method, analysis of conversation of deaf adults, living in Seoul, whose first language is sign language, has been carried out in that referential expression as the main spatial function appears in natural conversational situations. The results indicate that KSL has specific linguistic features as well as a universal character of sign language.

Characteristics of Writing in School-aged Borderline Intelligence Children with Language Disorder 이야기쓰기활동을 통해 살펴본 학령기 경계선지능 언어발달장애아동의 쓰기특성
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of writing in school-aged borderline intelligence children with language disorder compared with normal children by the analysis of declarative knowledge. 11 borderline intelligence children with language disorder(BI-LD) and 11 normal children(NC) participated in this study, they were 4-6 grade elementary school students. BI-LD had borderline performance IQ(PIQ)(70-85) in K-WISC III, and language disorder-verbal comprehension factor index of K-WISC III <85, Test of Problem Solving<-1.25SD. Normal children had normal PIQ(85-115), and had no language impairment-verbal comprehension factor index of K-WISC III 85-115, Test of Problem Solving -1SD< <+1SD. All students had no other disorder which could effect on the language ability. They were presented the picture "Farm" (Kenneth & Julie, 2004), and were requested to write the story about "Farm". We compared declarative knowledge between two groups. Declarative knowledge content contains 7 knowledge of contents, 5 knowledge of text structure, 4 knowledge of text coherence. There was no significant difference in the knowledge of contents between two groups. But there were significant differences in the knowledge of text structure and knowledge of text coherence. Subtests results of knowledge of contents in BI-LD were not different from those in NC. BI-LD got lower score in some subsets of knowledge of text structure-punctuation mark, other marks, subject-verb agreement, word order, sentence pattern, and some subsets of knowledge of text coherence-right vocabulary and expression- compared with NC. There was no significant correlation between PIQ, age, language abilities and writing abilities. Above results suggests that BI-LD have much difficulties in the knowledge of text structure and the knowledge of text coherence than in the knowledge of contents in the writing activities. These results could be applied to the teaching of writing in borderline intelligence children.

Study on Family Culture of Deaf People 농인들의 가정생활 문화에 대한 연구
We have conducted in-depth interviews with four people with hearing disabilities to use the gathered data in better observing and understanding the deaf culture through their family lives. The result showed that deaf family typically consists of deaf parents and deaf children, deaf parents and hearing children and families where all members have hearing disability. For the last type of families, only the sign language is used as a communication tool, and the children acquire the sign language without much effort to learn it. Children with hearing disability who live with hearing parents use the spoken language their parents use to communicate. The major reason for this appeared as the parents`` and brothers/sisters`` inability to use the sign language. Deaf people do not understand people with no hearing impairment who think deaf people``s family life would be significantly different than the family life of hearing people. Deaf families spend a lot of individual time compared to non-deaf families, and most of the deaf families experience increased household work such as laundry and child care once a child is born. Hearing disability also brings difficulties in child``s education and hinders children from interacting with other family members during the family gathering and other family events.

A Study on the Present state, Problem of Middle School Curriculum for Special Class 중학교특수학급 교육과정 편성 및 운영 실태분석
The purpose of this study was to examine how middle school curriculum for special class were compiled and applied in Seoul and what problems they were faced with. The major findings of the study were as follows: First, there wasn``t solid theoretical foundation for the compilation and operation of special-class curriculum, and there was neither enough collaboration between special education teachers and regular education teachers nor adequate connection between special class curriculum and regular curriculum, either. Second, as for assessment and individualized education, assessment committees and boards of individualized education existed just for form``s sake. The way to map out individualized education plans and to carry them out was not efficient. Third, concerning teaching-learning and evaluation activities for students in special class, teaching-learning materials and evaluation methods appeared not to be satisfactory. Fourth, extracurriculum activities and discretion courses were provided without having a full understanding of disabled students nor considering their opinions. Seventh, administrative and financial aids were not sufficient enough to ensure the successful operation of special class. To improvement the situation, specific guidelines about academic, discretion and extracurricular activities and therapy education, which are the basis of special-class curricula, should be prepared. Second, how to apply special-class curriculum should be determined in detail. Proper teaching methods should be selected for different areas, and in which way curricular should be modified should be decided. Besides, a wide variety of materials about discretion and extracurricular activities and therapy education should be developed. Third, in which direction evaluation should be led and relevant guidelines should be determined. What and how to evaluate should be presented, and academic achievement evaluation methods also should be supplied. In addition, alternative assessment methods applicable to students in special class should be introduced as well.

Recently concerns of educational supports for children with multiple disabilities in Asia-Pacific Region are increasing. This study is done to find ways to improve education supports for children with multiple disabilities in Korea by comparing and analyzing other countries. This paper is organized into 5 sections based on literatures, papers, reports from each country. This paper was written based on comparison studies of from 1) prevalence and statical situation of multiple disabilities 2) legal basement 3) national educational political direction 4) organization and education place, teacher``s in-service training, education contents and method. Through comparing and analyzing, we conclude five implications and future tasks in Korea. 1) We have to survey about the multiple disabilities over the country. Through survey, we have to collect the status of the multiple disabilities. 2) With the basic information the Nation has to supply properly devised planning and educational interventions for the multiple disabilities. Also it is required special support in education services and curriculum for them. 3) Since it is very difficult for them to integrate, there is a need to devise a plan for them and open schools. And in order to include them into regular school, first of all, we should create the inclusive atmosphere in regular classes, regular schools and society. Based on this improvement, we have to provide vast range of support for multiple disabled students to study with regular student. 4) We have to cooperate with multi disciplinary teams including the parents. 5) We have to find the appropriate communication method for them. 6) In order to teach them appropriately, teacher training is an important. We should prepare resource materials for teacher and the multiple disabilities to promote. Planning, material development, research support, teacher training, classroom organization, parental and community support are needed.

A Study on Job Satisfaction of Factory Workers with a Hearing Disorder 청각장애인의 직업만족도에 관한 연구
This research is about the job satisfaction of factory workers with a hearing disorder. I commissioned the survey with 30 people working in the companies of more than 100 employees. They were twenty men and ten women from their 20s to 50s in the survey. A sign language interpreter performed the survey to help them fully understand the each question. As a result, quite a few workers answered that they were stressed about their tasks. The main cause was rooted in the human relationship between normal workers and handicapped workers. They were unable to communicate sufficiently because of the hearing problems. Secondly, most workers answered that they were satisfied with their wages and on-duty hours. However, in the satisfaction measurement about job environment and welfare, they showed less contentment. In summary, I found out that many workers with hearing disorder were stressed by unsatisfactory communication. Also, the lack of availability of sign language interpretation and counselling services increased their stress.

The aim of this study was to examine and to compare between bilingual environment children and monolingual environment children in language age and MLU-m characteristics. Subjects included 26 children of 3 to 6 years old in the bilingual environment, and 24 children of monolingual environment. The results of this study was as following. First, there was some significant difference between bilingual environment children and monolingual environment children in 5 years of receptive age. But there was no significant difference between groups and ages in expressive age. There were some significant differences in receptive age and expressive age among ages in bilingual environment children in results of one-way ANOVA. Second, there was no significant difference between bilingual environment children and monolingual environment children in MLU-m. There was some significant difference between 3 years and 5 years in bilingual environment children in MLU-m in results of one-way ANOVA. These results showed that bilingual environment children delayed than monolingual environment children in language development, though their language competence growed like monolingual environment children.

The Effects of the Reverse Inclusion Dance Program at a Special School on Social Cognition of Middle School Students without Disabilities 특수학교에서의 역통합 무용활동 프로그램이 비장애 중학생의 사회적인식에 미치는 효과
The purpose of this study was to test the effects of the reverse inclusion dance program at a special school on social cognition of middle school students without disabilities. The subjects were 91 middle school students without disabilities and 18 special school students with disabilities.

The experimental procedure was composed of pre-test, experimental treatment, and post-test with eight 40-minute sessions. The collected data were analyzed by ANCOVA using the pretest scores as covariates. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1) Statistically significant differences were found between the experimental group and the two control groups, showing positive changes in the former``s social cognition; and 2) Significant increases were found on 2 factors and positive tendencies on other factors.
