Abstract
This study explores a Korean-immigrant mother’s parent stories living in Canada with aim for understanding experiences of individual human-being by using narrative inquiry methodology. Research puzzles are two-folds: First, how does the participant compose her parent-stories associated with her English deficiency? Second, how is Korean familial narrative related to construction of her parent’s stories to live by? As a result of the study, a comprehensive meaning of her parent-stories is ‘Realization of the conceptual meanings in FAMILY’. More detailed meanings of that are as follows. Firstly, a parent like a friend–conversation is centered. Secondly, the parent is a Korean language expert : the children are English language experts. Thirdly, the parent is a children’s career guide in Canada. I hope that this study could present readers extended-understanding for Korean-immigrant parents and chances for reliving their own stories through the resonance from the participant’s stories with her children.
