ABSTRACT: The purpose of this
paper is to study effect factors of adaptation to university life of Chinese
International Students in Korea. 374 Korean language trainees are chosen as investigation
objects by means of random cluster sampling. Questionnaire data are collected by
using the survey form and then paths of effect factors on adaption to
university life of Korean training Chinese students in Korea are analyzed. The results
indicate that Korean language proficiency, physical symptoms, loneliness,
self-efficacy, acculturation stress are direct effect factors on Chinese students
adapting to university life in Korea. Besides, Korean language proficiency, physical
symptoms, loneliness are not only direct effect factors on self-efficacy and
acculturation stress but also indirect effect factors on Chinese students
adapting to university life in Korea. In order to improve ability of Korean training
Chinese students adapting to university life in Korea, Korean language proficiency and
self-efficacy should be improved. And, some effective interventions should be
given to reducing physical symptoms, loneliness and acculturation stress.
