초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate how international students in the English-track Business English course perceive their learning experience. A survey was conducted with 58 Nepali and Uzbek students at D University in Gyeongsan as part of the Study Korea 300K Project, which aims to increase international student enrollment in Korea. The study focused on how ESP (English for Specific Purposes) courses should be taught to this growing student group. Survey findings revealed meaningful differences between international and domestic students in their perceptions of the Business English course. The most distinct difference was the international students’ strong recognition of the need to learn Korean. This suggests that many are considering long-term settlement in Korea or hope to work for Korea-related companies. Thus, compared with domestic students, international students placed the greatest importance on acquiring Korean language knowledge.
