    The document summarizes two local and foreign studies on English language learning difficulties among Korean students in the Philippines and the impact of international students. The local study analyzed interview responses from 13 Korean students at a Philippine university and found their English difficulties existed in both daily conversation and academics due to different learning backgrounds in Korea and the Philippines. However, the Koreans were instrumentally motivated to learn English despite cultural barriers. The foreign study examined how international students in New Zealand affected domestic students and universities. It concluded that internationalization brought educational and cultural changes but strategic interventions were needed to maximize benefits. Both the local and foreign studies provided relevant background and findings for the present research on addressing language barriers in international schools.

    Local Studies

    According to this qualitative study “English language learning difficulty of Korean students in a
    Philippine Multidisciplinary University” (30 November 2006) that Allan B. de Guzman,
    Emmanuel Jeric A. Albela, Deborah Rosalind D. Nieto, John Bernard F. Ferrer, Rior N. Santos
    have analyzed, the English language learning difficulties of 13 purposively chosen Korean students
    relative to their sociolinguistic competence, motivation in using the English language, and cultural
    factors. All of their collected interview responses were transcribed, categorized and thermalized
    according to saliency, meaning and homogeneity. The findings of the study disclosed that, on the
    whole, while the subjects never had the opportunity to use the English language in Korea, they use
    it almost everywhere in the Philippines. Their difficulties exist both in daily conversation and in
    the academic setting. Such difficulties are attributable to both the subjects’ and the Filipinos’
    different entry points in the learning and use of English. It was also concluded in the study that
    despite cultural barriers in communication, however, the Koreans studying in the Philippines are
    instrumentally motivated to learn the English language.

    It is a relevant study that discovers not only the roots of the problem but also added knowledge of
    the history of both countries that is kind of related to the present research that aims to discover the
    reasons and solutions of the language barrier in an international school.

    Foreign Studies

    Colleen Ward (2001), conducted a study about the impact of international students on domestic
    students and host institutions in University of Victoria and learned that the number of international
    students in New Zealand is increasing, and the economic benefits of export education are
    considerable. Less is known, however, about the social, educational and cultural implications of
    internationalization. Based on the information that have gathered, this analysis has considered five
    key questions related to the impact of international students on domestic students, educational
    institutions and the wider community. It concluded that included changes in educational process
    and content, comparative usage of institutional support services by domestic and international
    students, the relationships between international students, domestic students and the wider
    community, and the conditions under which the benefits of internationalization can be maximized.
    Although observed evidence is occasional, it is clear that the results indicated that
    internationalization do not occur unexpectedly and that strategic interferences are required to
    maximize the advantages.

    This study and the present research are both the same when it comes to internationalization
    although it is too broad and deep because the conducted study considered not only about students
    internationally but also studies that might acquire means on how the benefits can be maximized.
