The Differences of Learning Motivation and Learning Factors between Korean Residents In Japan and Japanese: From the viewpoint of an ethno-cultural study

This study is based on a questionnaire survey conducted on 438 respondents with the purpose to analyze the differences of korean language learning towards learning motivation and learning factors. The learning motivations were examined based on four factors; 1. Media influence, 2. The understanding of Korean contemporary culture, 3. The needs of learning, and 4. interest-based influence. For analysis, Factor Analysis and T-test had been used and from the result, there was no national significant difference found on factor no.1: the media influence and factor no.2: the understanding of Korea contemporary culture. However, significant national differences found on the Korean Residents In Japan respondents on the factor no.3 needs and the factor no. 4 interest-based influence for the Japanese respondents. This difference indicates ethnic identity discrepancy between the respondents. The significant causal factors for the Korean Residents In Japan who chose factor no.3 need were 1. they had been visited Korea before, 2. the speaking ability of Korean language is high, and 3. they have many Korean friends. Thus, it can be predicted that Korean Residents In Japan with highly interest on Korean language are the essential factors for ethnic identity establishment.
