초록
This study investigates how well international students adapt to the Korean language environment, and analyzes how adaptation differs according to the Korean proficiency presented when entering university. For this study, 45 international students at Y University participated in a questionnaire survey and 6 in-depth interviews. The results of the questionnaire survey are as follows; their Korean proficiency improved from the grades presented at admission, the exposure to Korean was generally high, attitudes toward Korean were positive, and most of the participants had part-time jobs. However, as a result of analyzing by Korean proficiency at the time of admission, the higher the Korean proficiency, the higher the current Korean proficiency. The previous semester's academic achievement was also higher for students with higher Korean proficiency. It is also revealed that the group with higher Korean proficiency had higher exposure to Korean culture, and more favorable attitudes toward Korean and Korean culture, and higher rate of part-time work. Furthermore, the in-depth interview results showed consistency with the questionnaire quantitative survey. Therefore, this study suggests that Korean proficiency of international students can be an important variable to adapt to Korean language environment.
