This essay will present the pe-stage of field investigation which foreigners in Japan and Korea gain from the language education taught there. Through comparing and analyzing the language education system in Korea and Japan, the whole system and its differences in both countries should be clear. On the other hand, Korea investigate each textbooks and curriculum activities because the language education for foreigners is different based on the difference of their visa statuses. In previous researches, language education policy as a foreign policy has not been well discussed because multiculturalism has been considered as just trend. However, I argued multiculturalism in Japan and Korea has not been caused by development of transportation and information technology or globalism on my paper published before, but the foreign policies as one of the solutions of aging society with fewer children. Japanese and Korean foreign policies focus on immigration inspection and its guideline. In this sense, multiculturalism does not seem to be caused by the foreign policies, but the policies have contributed to multiculturalism. In other word, multiculturalism is strongly connected to the foreign policies and it can be say that multiculturalism is a comprehensive policy. Although immigration control policies of both countries decide various visa status, this essay discuss the three types of visa, which are, working visa, marriage visa, and children. The language education for foreigners tends to focus on children. However, if the education is closely investigated, the differences between Korea and Japan and what is really is can be realized.
