The purpose of this study is to understand the perception of Korean language education and the treatment of Korean language teachers revealed in Korean language education of midimmigrant students, and to suggest measure to raise awareness of Korean language teacher. To do this, in-depth interviews were conducted with nine Korean language teachers and their cases were analyzed. As a result of the study, they left after only taking classes as a part-time instructor of contract position or was receiving a lecture fee at the service level. Students did not pay much attention to Korean language education and showed an attitude of ignoring Korean teachers. School officials lacked awareness of Korean language education, and teachers were having difficulties because consistent educational materials for mid-immigrant students were not developed. Parents did not communicate well with them, and they lacked the will and practice for Korean language education. The multicultural center officials recognized Korean language education as one of the various projects of the multicultural center, and rather than improving students' competencies, education was just showing off.
