Abstract

This study aims to study Chinese master's and doctoral students in bilingual courses to find out their satisfaction with their study abroad life and suggest improvements. Using phenomenological methods, the researcher selected eight Chinese students with master's and doctoral courses in bilingualism at N University as participants in the study. Data obtained through one-on-one in-depth interviews in Chinese were analyzed using the method suggested by Colaizzi. As a result, Chinese master's and doctoral students were generally satisfied with Korean life, especially studying abroad for master's and doctoral courses, but they reported inconveniences in the fields of major classes, non-major classes, school human relations, school administration and facilities, and through these, the researcher suggested five improvement measures. This study is meaningful as basic data that supplements the gap between previous studies on bilingual master's and doctoral courses. In the future, qualitative and quantitative studies are needed on research participants from a large scale of various backgrounds.
