International Journal of Korean Language Education 3(2), 203-232. Languages are a subcategory of culture and become a means of understanding culture. Since languages are closely related to culture as such, culture education should be considered when educating languages. This paper is a discussion intended to prepare the contents of culture education in Korean language education through languages, in particular, through vocabularies. In this paper, the relationship between culture and vocabularies and the necessity of culture education through vocabularies were mentioned. Thereafter, attempts were made to present the contents of Korean language culture education through vocabularies. The vocabularies of Korean language are divided into native words, Sino-Korean words, and loan words depending on the origins of the relevant vocabularies. Slightly different characteristics of Korean culture are reflected on the native words, Sino-Korean words, and loan words. In addition, Korean language has derived words and compound words made in diverse ways and the characteristics of Korean culture are reflected on these vocabularies too. The characteristics of Korean culture reflected on Korean language vocabularies as such can be educational contents useful for leaners of Korean language.

Although there have been discussions to prepare the contents of Korean language culture education through vocabularies thus far, not so many of the discussions were regarding concrete contents of the education. We hope that this paper will contribute to the richening of the contents of Korean culture education.
