Abstract
The purpose of this research is to illustrate how the student role of Korean international students changes as they develop their own career, and to propose what kinds of career support are effective. For the purpose, interviews were conducted with two Korean students studying in Japan. What was said in interviews was analyzed qualitatively through the life-span, life-space approach. As a result, it was revealed that although the student role was inactive soon after they entered into universities, they interacted with Japanese friends and used the Japanese language a lot during that time.
