A Study on the multilingual ability in related variables of high school students in China’s Korean International School

The purpose of this study is to examine the multilingual ability of 11 and 12 graders at the Korean International School in Beijing, China, and to find out whether arrival age of Korean International School students is related to their Korean, English, and Chinese abilities, and whether they are influenced by educational background.
