| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 亞太研究英語碩士學位學程(IMAS) === 105 === The purpose of my thesis is to raise more in-depth awareness of what it is like to be an expat in Taiwan and South Korea. I did a comparative analysis between expats of South Korea and Taiwan, both quantitative and some qualitative analysis were used. The main research question in this thesis is “What are the factors that affect how well an expat is able to cross-culturally adapt in Taiwan and South Korea? And What is the relationship between these factors and the overall level of satisfaction of expats in both Taiwan and South Korea?” There have been very few formal studies which focus on Expat Satisfaction Levels in these two countries. I have lived as an Expat in Seoul, South Korea for 2 years; I was an exchange student during my undergraduate studies for 1 year and an English Teacher in a public Elementary School for 1 year as well; I have lived in Taiwan for 2 years as a Master’s Degree student while also teaching English part-time. During my time as an Expat I have seen that overall expat satisfaction levels can vary dramatically and these variations need to be revealed and not ignored. This thesis will provide a thorough and well-rounded discussion on how Expats perceive the quality of their lives in Taiwan and South Korea using both literature and statistical information.
