Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a culturally focused social-emotional learning program for Korean immigrant children and adolescents. Using Positive Youth Development and Social-Emotional Learning frameworks, this study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the program to address the unique acculturation needs and experiences of Korean immigrant adolescents within the cultural contexts. The target population of this study was seven recent-Korean immigrant adolescents aged 10 to 14 in North Carolina. This study suggested that the program is feasible and acceptable for Korean immigrant adolescents. The findings of this study contribute to the literature on interventions to support Korean immigrant students in the United States with practical implications for educators and clinicians to design and implement culturally focused programs.
