다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The number of Saeturmin students who study in Korean universities has recently increased. The Saeturmin college students refer to the North Korean Defectors especially who are enrolled in a Korean Universities. They are reported to have some difficulties adapting in their university lives in Korea, especially learning English. Thus, the purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the current issues of English Learning of Saeturmin college students in their Korean universities, especially their difficulties in learning English. The participants of this study were 13 Saeturmin college student, who study English in a christian university, located in Seoul.
The research questions are following: 1) how and what they learned in North Korean English classes, 2) how they think about their current English learning in Korean universities and their present English communicative competence, and 3) what English learning support they want to have in their future. To answer these research questions, interview and survey were conducted and data were collected and analyzed in a qualitative approach.
The results are as follows. First, Saeturmin college students usually started learning English from the first grade in their high school, before they moved into South Korea and only half of them had an opportunity to study English in their schools. Besides, their English education was influenced by British English education not by American English education. Furthermore, their English teachers mostly used a grammatical translation method. In addition, half of them stayed in the third countries such as Thailand and China and only 20% of them studied the third countries' language while they were in there. These third languages were not reported to make an impact on their target language learning.
Second, Saeturmin college students usually spend one or two hours for studying English per week. Also, they mostly have Korean instructors for their college English programs and hope to continue studying with Korean instructors rather than Native speakers of English. Each of them has college English programs which have different specific learning objectives, but their college English programs are mostly focused on English conversation and English reading.
Third, Saeturmin college students were seen to have much enthusiasm for learning English in their universities but they have not known how to study English by themselves. They wanted to have English learning support programs to overcome their English learning difficulties in college English programs.

The current research results provide pedagogical and policy implications to develop specialized English learning support programs for the Saeturmin college students in Korean Universities.
