This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Korean learners’ reading motivation and their proficiency when they learn Korean as a second language. At the beginning of the semester, a 28-item five-point Likert scale questionnaire, which was revised from “Motivation for Reading Questionnaire” by Mori(2002), was administered in Korean or English as a means of exploring students’ Korean language reading motivation from 98 Korean learners. The data for this study suggest that motivation to read in Korean may be categorized into four components, namely Intrinsic Value of Reading, Extrinsic Utility Value of Reading, Importance of Reading, and Reading Efficacy. The result showed that the higher group had higher reading motivation compared to lower students in general. In particular, the higher group responded high percent in the components such as Intrinsic Value of Reading, and Reading Efficacy. It is required that teachers should study to increase lower group students’ motivation in particular in order to enhance their reading performance and engagement in reading.
