Multicultural Society and Education Studies 1, 30-52. In this thesis, I examined the various absurdities, prejudices, discrimination currently undergoing in Korea society through Korean films of representing sexual diversity <Troublers> and <Jane>. Although the perception of sexual minorities is gradually improving, Korean still has a high negative perception about it among the members of society. Furthermore, the possibilities legislating an independent law for same sex couples in other to granting legal protection to them are not high. As a way of promoting a more positive view of Korean, providing adequate protection for LGBTQIA in Korea society, I presented it from the view of education, law and policy, and religion. The reasons for it are because the members of the societies agree that the human rights of sexual minorities should be respected. To erase the shadows of discrimination against sexual minorities, educating prospective Korea society about the complexities of sexual orientation should be a key component of multi-cultural education. we live that changing times demanded a more flexible diversity and acceptance.

Multicultural Society and Education Studies 1, 53-76. This study aims to indicate factors influencing the cultural adaptation stress of a foreigner. The study was divided into two groups, using a similar living environment(regional, language, time), but could act as a cause of stress for foreigners who were returning to the purpose of entry. The group is a student of the social integration Program and a study at the Korean Language Education Center in the university. Summary of the results of this study is as follows. Nationality, gender, age, duration of residence, and the purpose of entry, etc. have been found to affect stress. However, this result is difficult to generalize because there is a limit of representative. However, it is confirmed that the demographic characteristics are related to cultural adaptation stress.

Various Korean education for foreigners are conducted by language school under college, multi-culture family support center, ‘Korea Immigration & integration program’ institution under ministry of justice, welfare center or foreigners' support group. Among them Ministry of Justice's ‘Korea Immigration & integration program’ has received attention. Government's multi-cultural policies that have been criticized due to redundant support from similar polices of each department. Korean education is now in trend of combined as KIIP(Korea Immigration & integration program). KIIP is composed of "Korean language and Korean culture curriculum" and "Understanding Korean society curriculum". When one completes both curriculum, it provides incentive when one obtains nationality, residence permit or changing visa. In the past, one could participate in social integration program only through advance evaluation, but recently, as it is connected to Korean program and TOPIK program from multi-culture family support center, the proportion of not only the married immigrant but also the immigrated children from multi-cultural family, foreign students and foreign workers is increasing. However, despite the fact that the program has been operating for 9 years, there are no significant changes in the policy. For KIIP to play its role as representative Korean education by the government, there are many problems to be improved such as curriculum, time and evaluation system. This paper suggested expansion of education time, review on retaking system, review on evaluation system and connected programs after completion to make social integration program Korean language education to actualize its essential goal based on the current problem of Korea Immigration & integration program.
