우즈베키스탄 유학생의 한국언어문화 적응 연구

초록

Quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis were conducted in order to examine the adaptation status of Uzbekistani students to the Korean language and culture at a university in Korea. The results of the quantitative analysis show well their degree of adaptation to the Korean language and culture: ① Overall, they adapt well to the university, where they study. ② Their homesickness is not severe. ③ The culture shock is moderate, though they do not adapt very well to Korean culture, but adapts without major problems. ④ Their Korean language ability is at a beginner’s level, so they use Korean language a little passively. ⑤ Interpersonal relationship with Korean people is normal. The results of the quantitative analysis of four students from Uzbekistan also support the results of the qualitative analysis as a whole. They show strong confidence in the success of their studies, feel the joy of learning and using Korean language, and try to use it as positively as possible. Their desire for success in academic and studying life is much stronger than their homesickness. They are experiencing diverse cultural differences in Korean society which is different from the Islamic culture of their home country. And they are trying to maintain good human relations with Koreans.
