Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This individual case study is intended to describe the differences in a newcomer Korean infant’s interactions between Korean and American caregivers in a day care center in the United States. This study is significant in that the its findings could yield insights of what approaches could help those newcomers to adjust themselves to the new environment as quickly and safely as possible with regard to the language and culture effect in the new classroom particularly in case that he or she recently came from another country. Therefore, it provides meaningful information about how caregivers and teachers can intervene in the inclusion/adjustment of young children from another country, within a classroom. Even though a lot of researches have been done on infant-caregiver interactions, a comparative study between different caregivers seems to have been rarely done in relation to the effect of the caregiver’s language and culture on the infant’s interaction. The main strategy of an inquiry was participant observation which occurred in a natural setting of a classroom, and anecdotes obtained from it are used to describe how differently the infant interacts in verbal or nonverbal ways with the Korean caregiver compared to his interactions with the American caregivers. The focuses of the observation consist of two dimensions, (non)verbal interactions and situation/time impact that includes five different situations such as arrival/departure, eating, diapering, and playing in the classroom or playground. This study connects my own interpretative stance with empirical evidences. From the data analysis, it shows the Korean infant more diverse ways of interactions with the Korean caregiver than those with other American caregivers. Considering that the only differences between the Korean caregiver and American ones were language and culture because all of them had almost the similar period of time in teaching experiences, this study emphasizes how important a newcomer infant has to be provided with language and cultural understanding from caregivers as to help him/her to become a real member of this little society.
