This qualitative case study explored Korean ESL students’ expectations and experiences in an English-speaking country. The participants were two Korean students who were studying ESL in an intensive language program at a university in the United States. Through the inductive analysis of the interview data, it was revealed that the participants were unsatisfied with their experiences in the United States. The participants brought their high expectations of developing friendships with Americans and improving their spoken English skills with their American friends. However, their real experiences in the United States were totally different from what they had expected. Unlike their anticipation, the participants did not have any American friends. Instead, they tended to bond with Korean friends because of their need for social cohesion. Due to their unfulfilled expectations, both of the participants struggled. However, the ways they dealt with their social and cultural struggles were different, depending on their personalities, their degrees of motivation to study English, and the atmosphere of the groups in which they got together. Based on the findings, I provided suggestions for language institutes, teachers, and Korean ESL students to help Korean ESL students have more satisfying L2 learning experiences in an English-speaking country.
