The Prodictable Variables of Korean Acquisition of Migrant Youth in Korea: Focusing on the North Korean Refugee Youth and Multicultural Migrant Youth

This study aimed at investigating predictable variables of migrant youth’s Korean acquisition. To meet the goal, this study examined correlation between learners’ variables such as cultural identity, motivation, age, period of residing in Korea, period of learning Korean and acquisition of Korean. To analyse the data, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and ANOVA were applied. The study proved that North Korean Refugee Youth(NKRY) had better grammar knowledge than Migrant Multicultural Youth(MMY), but they showed lower acceptance in all act situations except equal situation. NKY had lower cultural identity, especially lower in identity exploration. and lower motivation and higher foreign language anxiety than MMY. For NKRY, identity affirmation showed positive correlation with pragmatic competence; age and period of residing in Korea showed positive correlation with accuracy rate of many grammatical items. However, no correlation was found for MMY.
