In this study, the author begins her arguments by throwing questions regarding the appropriateness of existing Korean language textbooks for the children of overseas Koreans. While discussing how and why children's literature should be incorporated in Korean language textbooks, the author argues that more considerations should be put regarding the way of presenting cultural materials and the way of incorporating culture education perspective to Korean language education. According to the author, current textbooks fail to trigger the students' interest because of their lack of cultural contents and their inadequacy of presenting cultural materials. The author then, focuses on the values of children's picture books since she sees that children's picture books are highly effective for language and culture education. By using children's picture books, the author suggests a tentative study plan for the conclusion.(Korea University)
