ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the motivations and needs for Korean language learning among 107 exchange students at Korean universities. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations were identified as the main factors driving the desire to learn Korean, with a high demand for classes focusing on speaking, vocabulary, and listening, in that order. Instrumental motivation varied significantly with students’ origin, study duration, Korean proficiency(TOPIK), and attendance. Need varied significantly by region and learning duration, notably in grammar and listening based on study length. These findings highlight the need to understand students’ motivations and class demands to maintain their learning interest.
