A Narrative Inquiry into Chinese International Students' Experience in Korean Learning at Sehan University

This paper discusses the current situation of Korean learning of 5 Chinese international students (3 female students and 2 male students) at Sehan University. Through narrative inquiry, five narrators are asked to share their Korean learning experience. Semi-structured interviews are used to record and analyze the collected interview texts, so as to explore their learning motivation and the current situation of their language learning, summarize the difficulties in the learning, and propose corresponding strategies to improve the effect of their language learning. The results of this study can bring some suggestions for Chinese international students to improve their motivation and overcome the difficulties in Korean learning, and it can also offer suggestions for universities or teachers to develop teaching strategies for international students.
