This study examined the affective and behavioural perceptions that Korean EFL students hold towards other cultures. The participants in the study were 339 Korean students from two Seoul-based universities. The results of the study showed that (1) the large majority of responses of Korean EFL students was in accordance with Minimization and Acceptance of the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity; (2) some cultural influences related to extracurricular determinants positively contribute to their intercultural development; and (3) there was a significant positive correlation between affective and behavioral responses, though knowledge has a weak positive relationship with behavior and affective responses. The results can be used to develop communicative course content, materials and activities for English classes in Korean universities.
