Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent international students are culturally intelligent according to their Korean proficiency. One hundred and fifty-five students studying at a Korean university participated in this study. The Cultural Intelligence Scale (Ang, Dyne, Koh, Templer, Tay, & Chandrasekar, 2007) and the scores of TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) were used for analysis. The data were processed using R program (version 4.3.0.). The findings of data analysis showed that 1) The students’ Korean proficiency is positively related with the cultural intelligence cognitively and behaviorally. 2) Their age is not related with any sub-factors of cultural intelligence. 3) Their nationality group is related with the cultural intelligence meta-cognitively, cognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally. 4) International students’ gender is related with the cultural intelligence behaviorally only. Cultural intelligence should be continuously researched and utilized as a framework for educational implementation. Given the rapid increase in the number of international students in Korea, it is deemed necessary to establish guidelines through cultural intelligence research to support their successful integration and settlement.

从韩语水平看留学生的文化智力

本研究的目的是调查国际学生的韩国语水平在多大程度上具有文化智能。155名韩国某大学的学生参与了这项研究。文化智力量表(Ang, Dyne, Koh, Templer, Tay， & Chandrasekar, 2007)和韩国语能力测试(TOPIK)分数被用于分析。数据处理采用R程序(版本4.3.0)。数据分析结果表明:1)学生韩语水平与文化智力在认知和行为上呈显著正相关。2)年龄与文化智力各子因素无关。3)民族群体与文化智力的元认知、认知、动机和行为相关。4)留学生性别与文化智力仅在行为上相关。文化智力应作为教育实施的框架，不断得到研究和利用。在国际学生急剧增加的情况下，有必要通过文化情报研究制定指导方针，帮助他们成功融入和定居。

期刊介绍： Concentric: Studies in Linguistics is a refereed, biannual journal, publishing research articles on all aspects of linguistic studies on the languages in the Asia-Pacific region. Review articles and book reviews with solid argumentation are also considered. The journal is indexed in Scopus, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Modern Language Association (MLA) Directory of Periodicals, MLA International Bibliography, Linguistics & Language Behavior Abstracts (LLBA), EBSCOhost, Communication & Mass Media Complete (CMMC), Airiti Library (AL), Taiwan Citation Index-Humanities and Social Sciences, and Taiwan Humanities Citation Index(THCI)-Level 1. First published in 1964 under the title,The Concentric, the journal aimed to promote academic research in the fields of linguistics and English literature, and to provide an avenue for researchers to share results of their investigations with other researchers and practitioners. Later in 1976, the journal was renamed as Studies in English Literature and Linguistics, and in 2001 was further renamed as Concentric: Studies in English Literature and Linguistics. As the quantity of research in the fields of theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, and English literature has increased greatly in recent years, the journal has evolved into two publications. Beginning in 2004, these two journals have been published under the titles Concentric: Studies in Linguistics and Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies respectively.
