The purpose of this paper is to study the language policies in free international cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong and suggest what types of language policy should be planned and put into practice in Jeju Free International City. The characteristics common to the language policy of the two foreign countries can be described as bilingualism. For example, Singapore brings up the Singaporeans who are proficiently able to command English and an Ethnic Mother Tongue out of Chinese(Mandarine), Malay and Tamil. Hong Kong focuses its language policy on educating children who can speak both English and Chinese(Cantonese) well. It is advisory that Jeju Free International City should pursue the bilingual policy which aims to train Jeju residents who can speak English for global communication and Korean for roots. In order to drive this kind of language policy called English Plus Korean, first of all, it is necessary Jeju Free International City should establish the English television station, publish the English newspaper, proceed with English immersion programs for Jeju residents, open an English-medium school and so on.
