Newly immigrant students have faced both challenges and opportunities that influence their academic achievement. This study investigated differences in academic achievement among newly immigrant students in the Republic of Korea. Using a multiple case studies approach, this study identified factors that impact the academic achievement levels of newly immigrant students from China, the Philippines, Angola, and Uzbekistan. The analysis of participants’ narrative voices from this study revealed that although some newcomer immigrant students performed academically at high levels with strong educational motivations, others demonstrated low academic achievement with a much fewer motivations. Consistent with prior research, the analysis suggested that family characteristics, students’ socio/culture perspective, and language proficiency, were related to the academic performance of these students. This case study was designed to identify areas of need, assist with the creation of multicultural and cultural education policies for school systems, and provide some suggestions for bilingual and cultural education programs.
Abstract
Newly immigrant students have faced both challenges and opportunities that influence their academic achievement. This study investigated differences in academic achievement among newly immigrant students in the Republic of Korea. Using a multiple case studies approach, this study identified factors that impact the academic achievement levels of newly immigrant students from China, the Philippines, Angola, and Uzbekistan. The analysis of participants’ narrative voices from this study revealed that although some newcomer immigrant students performed academically at high levels with strong educational motivations, others demonstrated low academic achievement with a much fewer motivations. Consistent with prior research, the analysis suggested that family characteristics, students’ socio/culture perspective, and language proficiency, were related to the academic performance of these students. This case study was designed to identify areas of need, assist with the creation of multicultural and cultural education policies for school systems, and provide some suggestions for bilingual and cultural education programs.
