Abstract

The emergence of new technology, such as the Internet, enables popular cultures to spread rapidly from one country to another. Korean pop culture, for example, has been infiltrating Indonesia approximately from the early 2000’s. The advanced information and communication technologies further enable human beings to engage themselves in consuming the media and pop culture on a daily basis through printed media as well as social media. To the extent of language as a part of culture, the present study attempts to investigate Korean language learning process in a multimodal circumstance. This deals with how multiple modes of communication play role in learner’s autonomy and motivation to learn Korean language and how language-learning environments support her learning. Using participant’s language learning history and semi-structured interview, it is found that the ease of access towards Korean language through several channels such as Korean language guide book, internet sources including YouTube, Korean pop music and drama help enacted learner’s autonomy and motivation to learn the language. In addition, the participant is online and offline community contribute to the learning process in terms of putting into practice the language learned in a daily basis.
