The purpose of this research is to explore how Korean language learners' beliefs about language learning are related to their overall process of language learning and becoming a member of the Korean society. In-depth interviews were conducted with six international students at a Korean university regarding their beliefs about language learning. Through the semi-structured interview based on question items of BALLI (Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory) created by Horwitz, the responses to the questions were categorized by the similar patterns according to the themes of the interview questions. It was discovered that international students build self-confidence as their Korean language improved, and they regard cultural learning as an integral part of language learning. Also, their most effective learning strategy was learning from authentic contexts and socializing, and they hope to remain in Korea after graduating from college.
