초록

The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the acculturative stress, academic motivation, and language proficiency of 33 Chinese high school students studying in South Korea by conducting in-depth interviews based on the survey results. This study aimed to address three research questions: (1) What is the relationship between acculturative stress and the Korean language proficiency of Chinese high school students studying in South Korea? (2) What is the relationship between the academic motivation of studying Korean and the Korean language proficiency of Chinese high school students studying in South Korea? (3) What is the relationship between acculturative stress and the academic motivation of Chinese high school students study in South Korea to study Korean? A survey and in-depth interviews and a combined research method were conducted to address these questions. The results of this study showed that Korean language proficiency was low when the students received much acculturative stress. Particularly, when they had many difficulties in communication, their Korean language proficiency was low. Additionally, when the students had high academic motivation, their Korean language proficiency was high. When their internal motivation and integrative motivation were high, their Korean language proficiency was high. Moreover, it was confirmed that academic motivation to study Korean was low when the students had much difficulty in communication, perceived discrimination, and high acculturative, stress such as homesickness. The results of this study revealed that it was critical to provide appropriate academic motivation and alleviate acculturative stress for international high school students studying in South Korea to have a successful studying abroad experience. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop diverse acculturative programs and ways to mitigate acculturative stress. Above all, it will be needed to focus on improving the Korean language skills of international students studying in Korea by designing a curriculum suitable for their conditions.
