The purpose of this paper is to present a the policy on the improvement of the status of the Korean language, which divides the Korean ethnic society from the majority in the United states. The American language policy of ethnic groups in the United States has been in force within the basic framework of the cultural assimilation and the cultural pluralism, so that a Korean language policy to Korean people in America must continue to preserve and improve the mother tongue while retaining the two-way immersion mode of language education. Because the language status of ethnic groups is double-faced, the policy is made with respect to the transition relating to language chages and the entrenchment relating to the preservation of the language status. As a result, the intermalization of the Korean language will be realized through the improvement of the language status abroad. In order to do it the positive language policy is demanded in that the Korea language education is supported by overseas Korean residents and is expanded to the foreigners.
