Multicultural Education on a Subjective Agency with Chang-rae Lee’s Native Speaker

This paper aims at analyzing Henry Park's subjective agency crossing transnationalism on an educational view in Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker. Which describes how Henry as Korean American reacts to the notion of his ethnicity, being encountered in nation-state and tradition in transnational era. Henry undergoes the deep handicap of English pronunciation symbolizing a crisis of the invisible non-beings as an outsider within the dominant white society. However, he overcomes his invisible Otherness through the subjective agency, solving English barriers. In his attempt to create his creative subjectivity, Henry decides to help multi-ethnic children with English difficulties. Embracing all the native and the non-native speakers, he comes to understand a sense of ‘us,’ and becomes a subjective being which represents a productive vision as a diasporic citizenship in transnationalism. Also, this study focuses on Henry's realization of a subjective human-being who begins with the creative non-teleological notion between self and society, based on content-based instruction, community language learning, and whole language approach. Teachers can use reading method and simulation game to understand Henry's subjective agency.
