Korean Returnee Students' Unpleasant Experiences in their School Lives as Classified by the Countries Where They Stayed Abroad : Focusing on the Korean returnee students from the USA, Japan, and China

The purpose of this research is to articulate unpleasant experiences that returnee students experience in their school lives in Korea. I have conducted questionnaires of 12 returnee students from the USA, 14 returnee students from Japan and 6 returnee students from China through free-style writing, and analysis based on the KJ method. As a result,the answers have been grouped into the following categories. First, returnee students from The USA had unpleasant experiences with \r\nDiscrimination towards returnee students, general expectations that their abilities in English should be flawless, lack of understanding of their stay abroad, and coercive teachers. Second, in the case of Japan, students experienced anti-Japanese sentiments, and unfair academic treatments. Finally, returnee students from China had unpleasant experiences with discrimination against them through a special entrance examination system, general criticism of China, and contempt against China for economic reasons
