Abstract
The purposes of this study are to find out to which degree that Thai parents support their children to study Korean language at KU Language Centre, to find out the expectation of parents towards studying Korean language at the KU Language Centre, and to explore the attitudes of parents who support their children to study Korean language at the KU Language Centre, in order to adjust Korean language teaching in response to the actual expectations. In this study, a comparison is made between the Thai students who are studying in the KU Language Centre and the mainstream language education so that the shared attitudes of the parents can be highlighted. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are used in this research and the data is collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews.
