(1). A study of Teaching Speaking Skills to French Language Learners (at Intermediate Level) from Yangon University of Foreign Languages (Yangon University of Foreign Languages Research Journal 2020, Vol.11, No.1)
Abstract: This research analyses the techniques used by the teachers in teaching Speaking Skills to French Specialization students at an intermediate Level from YUFL and it also observes the weakness and the difficulties encountered by the students in learning communicative skills. The study aims to discover the best ways to help students to enhance in speaking. To collect the data on the techniques used by the teachers, a questionnaire composed of 20 questions was given to them. In addition, to find out the students’ needs and the difficulties in speaking skills, an experiment was also carried out. In this matter, oral pre-test and post-test were conducted with the students of Third Year French Specialization at YUFL. All the data collected were analyzed by using quantitative and qualitative methods. As the result, we found out that the teachers use the sheer quantity of different methods and approaches in teaching Speaking Skills to the students. And lack of vocabulary, expression, grammar knowledge and mixed pronunciation between French and English are the problems mostly encountered by the students. In addition, they (most of the Myanmar students) feel shy and nervous to carry out a public presentation even though they do it in front of their closed classmates. But after performing the oral pre-test and post-test, we discovered a significant improvement in their speaking skills.

Abstract: Le Roi Minn Done est un roi de la dynastie Kong Baung. Il était un roi absolument remarquable ayant réalisé tant de nouveaux projets pour le développement de son pays, la Birmanie. D’après les recherches historiques, on dit qu’il s’est marié avec une cinquantaine de femmes. Parmi ces femmes, la reine Taung Shwe Yay a accouché deux princes Myin Kon et Myinn Khone Tine. Même si le Roi Minn Done avait une vingtaine de fils, il a couronné son petit frère, le Prince Ka Naung comme le Dauphin. Là, une énorme jalousie est née surtout chez les deux princes Myin Kon et Myinn Khone Tine contre le Prince Ka Naung. Cette jalousie les a conduits à manifester et assassiner le Roi et le Dauphin avec l’aide d’un écrivain connu Salay U Ponnya. Malheureusement, manque d’une bonne pratique d’espionnage, le Roi et le Dauphin ne connaissaient rien concernant la manifestation en avance. Donc, le jour de la manifestation, le 2 août 1866, le Dauphin a été assassiné. Par contre, heureusement, le Roi n’avait aucune blessure. Après l’assassinat de son petit frère (le Dauphin Ka Naung), le Roi a commencé à pratiquer l’espionnage avec tant d’effort afin de se protéger ainsi que son pays.

Bilateral Trade between India and Myanmar: Current Situation and Prospect
Abstract
Myanmar serves as the gateway to India’s “Look East policy. India is striving all out to strengthen its relationship with Myanmar to achieve its stated objective of economic development. The current Indian government has infused a new momentum to keep its contacts with Myanmar. As a result, Indo-Myanmar relationship is witnessing an unprecedented upswing in the recent years. The scope of this paper is to focus on an overview of the Indo-Myanmar trade relationship, then to look at the normal trade and border trade and to discuss suggestions for development of trade between the two countries. In this paper, facts and figures about the two- way trade of these countries are analyzed to examine the situation of Indo-Myanmar trade relations. It is found thatIndo-Myanmar trade relations is mutually important for their national development although trade volume between the two countries is still diminutive in comparison with volume of trade between Myanmar and China and there are some problems and obstacles in trading between the two countries. The future global growth leaders would be the Asian Triangle of China, India, and the ASEAN and the industrial clusters that would be formed in this triangle. As Myanmar is geographically well-situated in this triangle, it is an opportunity for Myanmar to achieve its national goals. By drawing up a systematic and synergetic policy, the two countries can identity their strengths and requirements and then work towards mutual benefit.

So, Thai central government had inspired into these three states under his control as one united Thai state through the solely unit of historical, cultural, political and economic system. it paved the way for separatist among a minority of Muslims. For these purposes, ethnic tensions are occurring between government concerned and minority ethnic groups in these two countries. This paper aims to analyze the root causes of these ethnic tensions and effective control of governments.

After 2015 general election, USDP transferred to power to winning National League for Democracy (NLD) government peacefully. NLD government was welcomed by many countries in the international communities’ including the United States.

Analysis of the View towards the Thought-Conception (Vitakka Carita), Dawei University Research Journal, Vol.II, No.1, December, 2019
Abstract
Carita signifies the intrinsic nature of a person which is revealed when one is in normal state without being preoccupied with anything. The temperaments of people differ owing to the diversity of their actions or kamma. Habitual actions tend to form particular temperament. The Cūḷabyūha Sutta is taught in accordance with the inclination towards thought-conception (vitakka carita). The Cūḷabyūha Sutta belongs to the Aṭṭhakavagga of the Suttanipāta. The Buddha expounded the Sutta on the full-moon day of Jeṭṭhamāsa to the celestial beings. The Cūḷabyūha Sutta is on a description of disputing philosophers. The Buddha gave this discourse after the Mahāsamaya Sutta. He divided them into six Caritas with their inclination. This Sutta consists of seventeen verses. The Cūḷabyūha Sutta explains to abandon vitakka. Because of conceptual thought, the philosophers resolute their views as truth, they consider others to be fools. There is only one truth. If one wants to have Path and Fruition, he has to abandon wrong views. According to this Sutta, the one of thought-conception should have to discard the wrong views and to make effort to understand the real truth. A Recitation of this Sutta is beneficial but the most important is to be practised according to one’s temperament (carita) individually. The Cūḷabyūha Sutta is not only for recitation but also worthy to practise as they lead the one to the highest bliss, Nibbāna.

Abstract
Mastery of Pāḷi language is absolutely essential for understanding of Theravāda Buddhism. In Myanmar, since the introduction of Theravāda Buddhism in P€11th century generation of Pāḷi scholars especially learned monks have composed various works in Pāḷi However, many of them are not known to the scholars outside the country.The present attempts to introduce four major Pāḷi works by Myanmar Pāḷi scholars. Therīpadānadipanī, a commentary on the Therīpadāna, by Ven. Dr.Kumarābhivaṁsa (1928- ), fills one of the gaps in Pāḷi literature. The Therīpadāna has no commentary before this work. The other work, vipassanānayappakaranaṁ, first written by Mahasi Sayadaw (1904-1982), one of the leading and famous meditation masters of our time has been translated into by Ven. Dr.Kumarābhivaṁsa. There is one grammatical work, virtually unknown to scholars outside Myanmar, or even most Myanmar scholars is Saddhattharatanavī. The work, in four volumes, was written one after another ( in 1928 ) by four grammarians from Myanmar, namely Sayadaw Somābhisiri, Ven. Sūriya, Ven. Ñāṇa and Ven. Rājindabhivaṁsa (Phayaphyu Sayadaw). Dhātudīpikā was written by Ven. Dr. Nandamālābhivaṁsa (1940- ) would be rearrangement of Pāḷi Root. This work will be a great help to the students of Pāḷi language and easing the difficulties of finding Pāḷi root and reading Pāḷi grammar. The content introduction of each work is important in its own right and in the history of Pāḷi language and literature. The publication of these four Pāḷi texts would also be put in the context of upgrading Pāḷi studies in Myanmar by State Pariyatti, Universities and The International Theravāda Buddhist Missionary University.
Abstract
The Pāḷi term, ‘Saṁgāyanā” is known to the Theravāda Buddhists in Myanmar as the unanimous recitation of Piṭaka Texts by the Saṁgha Order. However, according to the Pāḷi Texts such as Cūḷavagga Pāḷi, Pārājikakaṇḍa Aṭṭhakathā of Vinaya Pitaka, and Dīpavaṁsa which clearly mention the records of the First Buddhist Council to the Fourth Buddhist Council, the term ‘Saṁgāyanā” has variety of meanings. It is also found that the word Saṁgāyanā was significant in the history of Pāḷi literature. The word Saṁgāyanā was explained with reference to Pāḷi Buddhist scriptures, commentaries and sub-commentaries using Pāḷi Dictionaries and other treaties. This paper tries to explain word Saṁgāyanā from etymological and Pāḷi grammatical point of view. Although it is easy to define the word Saṁgāyanā from grammatical point of view it had deep and rich meanings. The convening of Saṁgāyanās resulted in getting the purified and standard Tipitaka text. The purity of the scriptures means the purity of practice and purity of Saṁgha. Since the study of Buddhist Scriptures (Pariyatti) it’s the foundation of Sāsana, the Saṁgāyanās augurs well for the future of Buddhism. Because of the Saṁgāyanās Myanmar as a leading Theravāda country could share genuine Theravāda Buddhist Dhamma with the rest of the world.

Abstract
This paper attempts to explain how one of the most famous monks named the most Ven. Vicittasarābhivaṁsa, contributed to the promotion of Buddhist education (Pariyatti) in Myanmar. Because of his contribution to Pariyatti-Sasana (in study of Buddhist scriptures Myanmar become one of the leading Theravada countries in Pāḷi and Buddhist scholarship.The first part of the paper will trace his academic training cover in his early age and how he passed the Pāḷi scriptural examinations with flying colours. Particular attention will be given to how he became the first Tipiṭakadhara (the learned monk who can committed 8026 pages of Tipiṭaka text to his memory) in Myanmar which is the essential requirement for convening of the Sixth Buddhist Council in 1954. He was recorded in Genius book as the Myanmar monk who had powerful memory of committing more than 30000 pages to his memory. Secondly, the paper tries to describe his vital role in actual recitation of Tipitaka text in the Sixth Buddhist Council. He was the one who answered all the questions relating to Tipiṭaka text asked by Mahasi Sayadaw. His astounding contribution will remain as historical landmark in history of Buddhism in Myanmar. Thirdly, the paper will attempt to explain how his tireless effort in founding the two Sāsana Universities, one in Yangon and one in Mandalay, in 1986. Because of foundation of Pariyatti Sāsana by the most Ven. Vicittasārābhivaṁsa, the two Sāsana Universities have produced outstanding Buddhist scholars, missionaries and dhamma preachers both inside and outside Myanmar. Besides, his monastery in Minkon, upper Myanmar, is the training school for future Tipiṭakadhara Sayadaw and this resulted in producing both ten Tipiṭakadhara Sayadaws. Myanmar is the only country which has the tradition of keeping Tipiṭaka text in human memory. Undoubtedly, the most Ven. Vicittasārābhivaṁsa occupied the unrivalled place in the history of promotion and propagation of Buddha Sāsana in Myanmar.

Japan’s ODA Policy towards Five Mainland Southeast Asian Countries
Abstract
Development assistance is traditionally given by developed countries to developing countries to assist in the recipient country’s economic development, and improve social conditions with the country. Different countries adopt different approaches, depending on the resources available as well as their policy objectives in giving aid. In 1991, when the Japanese government announced the four guidelines of Official Development Assistance (ODA), it pledged to use the foreign aid to promote human rights and democracy. In the history of Japan’s ODA, the bilateral scheme has been predominant: Japan provides a certain country with aid through bilateral negotiation and agreement and with the anticipation that the aid will help socio-economic development in the recipient country. Japan’s ODA is usually divided into two categories: bilateral and multilateral. Bilateral aid on the other hand is the scheme where Japan provides aid to a single recipient country on the basis of the two parties’ negotiation and agreement. Multilateral aid is the scheme within which Japan provides a budget to international or multi-governmental organizations. And the most frequently used classification of bilateral assistance is based on the three types of payment: grants, yen loans, and technical assistance. Tokyo’s foreign aid strategy, ranging from bilateral, sub-regional, to regional assistance plans, successfully secures its political and economic interests in mainland Southeast Asia.

Japan’s Search for Normalcy: Japan’s Policy in Southeast Asia after the Cold War
Abstract
During the Cold War, the main emphasis of Japan’s foreign policy in Southeast Asia was placed on economic diplomacy. However, after the end of the Cold War, her policy in Southeast Asia has gradually shifted to political and security orientated diplomacy. This research argues that the Persian Gulf War crisis of 1990-1991 had been one of the factors that brought about the turning point in Japan’s Southeast Asian foreign policy. During the Gulf War, Japan was greatly criticized for practicing what is called checkbook diplomacy, which means giving only financial support to the war and peace cause without making any human contributions of sending military forces to the Gulf region. From that time onwards, Japan has opened a new chapter in her foreign policy. On 15 June 1992, the Japanese Diet passed The Law Concerning Cooperation in UN Peacekeeping and Other Operations, marking a turning point in Japanese foreign policy. This law was the first manifest in changes to Japan’s Southeast Asian policy, such as the dispatch of Self Defence Force (SDF) to support the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO) in Cambodia in 1992. Analyzing Japan’s changing policy, case study design has been applied to examine the specific effects of Japan’s policy change on Southeast Asia after the Cold War. The research points out the fact that Japan has been playing more and more actively in the political and security affairs of the Southeast Asia region but also in other international affairs both within and outside the region.

Japan’s Proactive Role in Myanmar Democratic Transition
Abstract
After the 2010 general elections, Myanmar started to transform from an authoritarian to a semi-democratic government. With the democratic transition process, the new government initiated a series of reforms, including the loosening of political and economic restrictions and the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest. Following the 2012 by-election, the Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba recognized the election as a notable step in Myanmar’s democratic transition. In May 2013, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe paid an official visit to Myanmar. It was the first visit of a Japanese prime minister since 1977, signifying Japan’s return to Myanmar after long decades. During Prime Minister Abe’s visit to Myanmar, he expressed his readiness to assist Myanmar government’s efforts for democratization and to improve infrastructure development through Official Development Assistance (ODA). In 2016, Tokyo announced plans to contribute 800 billion yen over five years at public and private levels, based on the “Japan-Myanmar Cooperation Program”, to support Myanmar’s efforts for peace, national reconciliation and economic development. Based on this background, the research question is that why Japan has played such a proactive role in Myanmar’s democratic transition under the leadership of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Refugee Repatriation Issue between Myanmar and Bangladesh
Abstract
This paper aims to study challenges and constraints in refugee repatriation process between Myanmar and Bangladesh. Following the Tatmadaw’s counter-insurgency operation against the terrorist attacks of Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) in northern Rakhine State in August 2017, it is reported that more than 700,000 refugees have fled to Bangladesh. Most of refugees have sought shelter in established refugee camps along the border and makeshift camps in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. Although Myanmar and Bangladesh agreed to a procedural framework for repatriation, no Bengali refugees has returned through official channels. On the other hand, it is becoming an increasingly pressing issue among international community as the mass flows of refugees who left Myanmar. The global media and international Human Rights Council reports have focused on the humanitarian situation of displaced people, human rights violations and the legal status of Bengalis in Myanmar. Therefore, Bengali issue has become more complex for a continuous implementation of repatriation process. At present, the repatriation process between Myanmar and Bangladesh has virtually stagnated. Upon this background, this paper argues that it is crucial that the Governments of Myanmar and Bangladesh commit themselves not only to any voluntary return and safe of refugees but also to the positive steps that will be required to ensure their implementation of repatriation process.

Myanmar’s Political Reforms: Its Impacts and Implications for Myanmar-China Relations
Abstract
Since President U Thein Sein took office on 30 March 2011, his government carried out a series of reforms: political reform, socio-economic reform, and administrative reform. Under the political reform, the new government opened new space for political oppositions, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that had been allowed to form and participate in political, economic and social development. On 30 September 2011, President U Thein Sein announced that his government decided to suspend the construction of Myitsone dam in accordance with the wishes of Myanmar people. It also called for an investigation of the Latpadaung Copper Mine project which finally led to a renegotiation for better terms and conditions in favour of Myanmar. This research paper analyzes that although Myanmar has been on friendly relations with China since 1988, the relationship between Myanmar and China has little strains after suspending the largest Chinese investment in the Myintsone dam project in 2011. It is found that the political reform in Myanmar since 2011 have generated unexpected impacts on Chinese investments in Myanmar and implications for bilateral relations, as well as complicated China’s policy towards Myanmar.

Japan’s ODA Policy towards Five Mainland Southeast Asian Countries
Abstract
Development assistance is traditionally given by developed countries to developing countries to assist in the recipient country’s economic development, and improve social conditions with the country. Different countries adopt different approaches, depending on the resources available as well as their policy objectives in giving aid. In 1991, when the Japanese government announced the four guidelines of Official Development Assistance (ODA), it pledged to use the foreign aid to promote human rights and democracy. In the history of Japan’s ODA, the bilateral scheme has been predominant: Japan provides a certain country with aid through bilateral negotiation and agreement and with the anticipation that the aid will help socio-economic development in the recipient country. Japan’s ODA is usually divided into two categories: bilateral and multilateral. Bilateral aid on the other hand is the scheme where Japan provides aid to a single recipient country on the basis of the two parties’ negotiation and agreement. Multilateral aid is the scheme within which Japan provides a budget to international or multi-governmental organizations. And the most frequently used classification of bilateral assistance is based on the three types of payment: grants, yen loans, and technical assistance. Tokyo’s foreign aid strategy, ranging from bilateral, sub-regional, to regional assistance plans, successfully secures its political and economic interests in mainland Southeast Asia.

Japan’s Search for Normalcy: Japan’s Policy in Southeast Asia after the Cold War

Abstract: Proverbs are a part of a language and closely integrated with the society and culture. It is generally acknowledged that language and culture are inseparable and mutually influenced. Therefore, it is important for a language learner to learn proverbs to understand or appreciate it. This paper aims to compare these proverbs from cultural point of view. The objectives of the paper are to examine the English and Myanmar proverbs whether they have similar meanings or not, to find out whether or not they have different uses of mages to convey similar underlying meaning and vice versa, and to analyse how the different cultural backgrounds affect the uses of images in both proverbs. The data were collected from “Proverbs: English Language Toolbox” by Kirkpatrick (2009), “Common English Proverbs” by Johnson (1960), Myanmar Proverbs” by Dr. Hla Pe (1962), and “Myanmar Proverbs” by Myanmar Language Commission (1990). A hundred English proverbs were randomly collected and first, they were compared with Myanmar proverbs to find out whether or not they have similar underlying meanings. Secondly, those equivalent proverbs were identified to find out whether or not they have different uses of images to convey similar underlying meaning and vice versa. The findings indicated that there were fifty-two English and Myanmar proverbs that have similar underlying meanings. Out of 52 proverbs, seven were assumed to be the proverbs that are borrowings or imports. Nineteen out of the remaining 45 were said to have similar underlying meanings with different images. Such being the case, there were altogether 26 proverbs that do not have the significant uses of images. It was observed that there were three English and Myanmar proverbs which have different meanings with similar uses of images. A further study can be carried out, comparing more proverbs from the English and Myanmar languages.

Humanitarian Situations in Myanmar in the Context of Politics since 2011
Win Mar Hlaing*
Abstract
There have been improved situations in Myanmar receiving humanitarian assistance in addressing humanitarian issues under new government. In 2011, there were around 100,000 people of Internal Displaced persons (IDPs) in Kachin and Shan State in Myanmar because of the armed conflict between government forces and Kachin Independence Army 9 KIA). Many IDPs have been in refugee camps in government controlled areas and KIA Controlled Areas. Many local and international agencies are operating humanitarian assistance despite difficulties and challenges in the beginning. Mai barriers for local agencies are financial support, technical support, and training for camp management. International agencies also had difficulties because of general insecurity, road damages and concerns about jeopardizing relations with the government at the juncture of Myanmar political development. However, in 2014, according to UNOCHA basic humanitarian needs were met and there were improved situations. Now, the government has been trying to make a nation- wide ceasefire agreement with all ethnic groups and it is within reach. It was seen that Government‘s unprecedented move towards accepting federalism repeatedly demanded by ethnic groups.
Myanmar- Singapore Relations since 1997
Win Mar Hlaing*
Abstract
Diplomatic relations between Myanmar and Singapore were established at ambassadorial level on 12 August 1966. With the improvement of relations, the two countries decided to appoint ambassador at both capitals. Exchange of visits have also taken place between the two countries and have increased to strengthen the economic interaction. During the period from 1997 to 2009 these visits are mostly to attend the ASEAN meetings in Singapore on a regional visit. Other visits were the bilateral visit discussing the matter of trade, investment, service, and industrial sectors at the Prime Minister and Ministerial level. Singapore and Myanmar enjoy good bilateral relations. Singapore expressed her positive attitude on Myanmar’s democratizing process. There are no trade agreements between Myanmar and Singapore. However, there have been normalized trade relations between them. Myanmar also faced trade deficit in favor of Singapore. During the period from the year 2005-2006 to 2010- 2011, the total trade volume has also increased from US Dollar 823.23 million in 2005- 2006 US Dollar 2102.03 million in 2010- 2011. During 2003- 2011 period the investment volume of Singapore in Myanmar was increased, but not much significant. There was also slightly increase of permitted enterprises, investing in Myanmar. Offers of scholarship and humanitarian assistance from Singapore have also involved in the relations and still need to be much focused in their relations. It is found that the relations have more covered economics than politics. Despite sound and close relations existed there will be much room for economic and environmental cooperation under the new government of Myanmar.
Development Cooperation between Myanmar and Singapore
Win Mar Hlaing*
Abstract
Myanmar accorded recognition to the new Republic of Singapore on 14th August 196. Myanmar’s relations with Singapore in social, political and economic sphere have been dated back to many years ago. Myanmar and Singapore gained mutual understanding and friendship base on their discussion during the visits and in turn could sign MoU and agreements. Singapore also showed her political will and her positive attitude on Myanmar’s Democratization process. It also launched “Initiative for ASEAN Integration “(IAI) which encompasses a variety of human resources development programme. Under this programme, skillful trainers from Singapore have been sent to Myanmar to provide capacity building for the staff. The Government of Singapore provided assistance to human resources development of Myanmar. In the basic education, student exchange programme, education study programme and seminars are being conducted according to bilateral agreement. Singapore was one of the countries offering assistance to Myanmar following Cyclone Nargis in 2008. Singapore contributed an initial US $ 200,000 in humanitarian aid, followed by a commitment of another US $ 5 million for various humanitarian projects. Foreign Minister of Singapore, Mr Yei said that Singapore will continue to support Myanmar’s capacity building efforts, particularly in human resource development. It is found that increasing development cooperation has been based on bilateral agreement and cooperation programme. It is also sure that future cooperation will be increasingly continued in human resource development and humanitarian assistance.
China’s Foreign Trade Policy towards Myanmar (After 1998)
Win Mar Hlaing*
Abstract
China has required a peaceful and stable international environment by strengthening contacts and cooperation with other countries. It also adopted diplomacy in trade and sought a free market expansion with the neighbouring states. Development of western province – Yunan and Sichun is “important for China’s economic interests. Chinese policy makers introduced “strings and pearls strategy towards South Asian neighbours including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. China’s demand for energy for its province’s development also contributed to its trade with Myanmar was also a good impact of Chinese foreign trade policy. Despite the trade performance between Myanmar and China was an unbalanced nature always in favour of China, increasing trend of trade volume from 1988 to 2010 indicates the complementary nature of bilateral trade. It is found that China has pursued the strategy of export- led growth and strategy of strings of pearls policy towards Southeast Asia including Myanmar. Myanmar has been a strategic point for China to access Indian Ocean. China’s desire to make cross border trade with Myanmar for the development of Yunan, has also much impact on socio- economic life of Myanmar’s People. Development of cross border trade has also been effectiveness of China’s foreign trade policy.
Security Challenges in North East Asia; Future Prospects
Win Mar Hlaing*
Abstract
The Security Situations in Northeast Asia has changed abruptly decade by decade since the end of the War War II. Despite normalization between Beijing and Moscow in 1989 and close consultations over North Korea since the North – South Summit in 2000, the aim of Sino- Russian strategic challenge is North Korea’ s nuclear crisis. Even if the nuclear crisis is brought under control, North Korea belligerence is unlikely to an end. Thus, the North Korea missile and nuclear issue s may not be resolve as long as regime’s policy could not change. This causes a challenge not only to South Korea but also to other countries like China, Japan and the US in managing the crisis. China’s uprising and its domestic structural change is very much in the areas of economy and of the growing nationalist sense of its leadership. Taiwan issue may not only cause a war between China and the US but also another Cold War in the region. The expansion of Japan’s military forces is also a challenge in the region. The rising nationalism could have an alarming consequences like militarized, assertive ad nuclear armed Japan. Japan’s military increase may go beyond the bilateral framework of the US in its search for bigger role in Asia and the world in the coming decades. A new framework for northeast Asian security should be created by reviewing the legacy of six decades of changes in the region’s great power relations. The objective of this paper is to explore the future situations of Northeast Asian security by using analytical approach based on some historical and recent developments in the region.
Relations between Myanmar and the republic of Korea (1994- 2004)
Win Mar Hlaing*
Abstract
Bilateral relations between Myanmar and the republic of Korea have long traditions. The ties between the two countries have strengthened expanded in all spheres since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1975. Since then the exchange of visits have taken place between the two countries. Moreover, the trade relations between Myanmar and the republic of Korea ( ROK) have been carried out in the shape of Myanmar exporting natural resources based products to ROK and ROK exporting industrial products to Myanmar,. Investors from ROK became very active with the opening of Myanmar economy. The Korean development assistance program reached a turning point in the late 1980s and early 1990s in terms of international cooperation program. The assistance of loans, grants, and gifts from ROK played as important part in Myanmar’s economy and has been strengthening the economic intercourses between the two countries. Substantial interaction between Myanmar and ROK under cultural relations from 1995 to 2004 includes religious, education and health sector. As ROK and Myanmar achieved their complementary relationship, the future prospects for cooperation should lie in a variety of areas such as political and security cooperation, exchange of media, people, and the environmental cooperation.

– A Study on Korean Culture Education with Fairy Tales for Myanmarese (Southeast Asian Journal 2017, Volume- 26, No-3)
Abstract:
This study aims to help Korean culture education for Myanmar people through fairy tales. Korean culture education is essential for fluency of Korean language and adaptation to Korean society and culture to foreign students and workers. In the study, eight fairy tales consisting of four Korean fairy tales and four Myanmar fairy tales are selected as research materials. Through the analysis of Korean and Myanmar fairy tales, cultural elements and identities were identified and compared with the materials from the both countries. The analysis has been processed in the respect of character and contents of the materials. The fairy tales were analyzed by one-to-one correspondence, such as myanmar ‘Devotion(성의)’ vs. ‘An Old Man Planting Dreams(꿈을 심는 노인)’and then they were sorted according to cultural and identificational elements. Even though two countries have a few cultural and historical interchanges and are far away from each other, the traditional fairy tales between Myanmar and Korea showed high similarities in the view of cultural elements, values, and identities. In the fairy tales there are many common aspects and similarities in cultures such as tendency of regarding agricultural society as important, the hierarchy according to ages, the filial duty, family relationship, and the community solidarity. I believe those similarities in Myanmar and Korean cultures could be a desirable norm for Myanmarese to study Korean language and to adjust to Korean society.
– A Study on the Motivation for Selection of Korean Language Major by International
Students and Their Satisfaction about their Major (Journal of the Korea Academia-Industrial cooperation Society 2017, Volume-18, No 7)
Abstract
The Korean language major is being activated in line with the increasing number of international students who are studying in South Korea. Therefore, the motivation for selecting a university major varies according to the background, environment, and values of each student. Thus, it is meaningful to examine the motivation of international students to select their major and their satisfaction on the major. In this study, 173 international students living in Seoul were surveyed and the data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 23.0 to demonstrate the structural relationship between their motivation for selecting the major and their satisfaction about the major. From analysis result, their motivation for selecting a Korean language major were classified into internal and external motivations, and their major satisfaction was classified into perception satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, subject satisfaction, and general satisfaction. Regarding the motivations to select a Korean language major, the level of external motivation was very high, and among the major satisfaction, the level of general satisfaction was the highest. Furthermore, the external and internal motives had significant positive effects on all the categories of major satisfaction, including the perception satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, subject satisfaction, and general satisfaction. This study suggests effective methods to improve the satisfaction of international students about the Korean language major such as the provision of information about and opportunities for employment using their major and the provision of a high quality.

The findings show that there is similar structural point of tense between Korean and Myanmar language – past, present, and future – but differences are found.
