ABSTRACT

This study sought to examine the potential positive effects of Korean translation assignments on the psychological well-being, including anxiety and stress, of mid-to-late adolescent immigrant youth. In this study, students were provided with Korean classes using reading materials with positive content, followed by assignments to translate these materials into their native languages. The results indicated that the task had a positive effect on the students' emotions. Participants indicated that the novel experience of translating Korean texts into their native languages was both engaging and resulted in positive emotional transformations, as well as heightened motivation to learn Korean. This research underscores the important correlation between utilizing positive reading materials and translation tasks in enhancing Korean language acquisition and fostering positive psychological outcomes.
