Abstract
This study analyzed the perceptions of students who studied beginner-level Chinese for one semester in college Chinese courses. The recent deterioration in relations between South Korea and China has led to a rise in anti-Chinese sentiment, and this could lead to a decline in Chinese language education. The purpose of this study is to find out whether they actually have a low opinion of China or the Chinese language, and whether they have negative thoughts about learning Chinese. This paper analyzed perceptions of China, Chinese language, and Chinese language learning, changes in perceptions through college Chinese class, and learners' perceptions and intentions to continue learning Chinese. The results of the analysis showed that learners themselves recognize the importance of Chinese language, and more importantly, their positive perception of Chinese language affects their willingness to continue learning Chinese in the future. It can be seen that we should focus on developing relevant teaching methods and educational contents in the future.
