This study empirically analyzes the relation between multicultural families’ learning variables which represent multicultural families’ academic backgrounds and cultural backgrounds and their learning Korean language. In this study, approximately 460 multicultural families in Korea participated and answered the survey questionnaire. As the results of statistical tests such as Contingency Table Analysis and ANOVA, multicultural families in Korea have different learning objectives and motives, learning attitudes, the aim of teaching Korean, and difficulties of Korean textbooks and understanding Korean classes. The differences depend on several different learning variables such as their nationality, academic schooling, residence period in Korea, learning period, learning levels of Korean.
Thus, these learning variables such as nationality, academic and cultural backgrounds can differently influence the learning objectives and motives, learning attitudes of multicultural families' learning Korean language. It is important to realize and consider multicultural families' nationality, academic schooling, residence period in Korea, learning period, learning levels of Korean to teach Korean language to them more effectively.
