Wiggins and McTighe have suggested Backward Design version 2.0 with new ideas drawn from the process of studying Backward Design. Backward Design, which has an emphasis on learners` enduring understanding, was introduced in the USA and has led studies related to it. This study aims at the analysis of the recent Backward Design 2.0 version and the exploration of its applicability. To achieve these objectives, characteristics of Backward Design version 2.0 and UbD template version 2.0 were analysed. An elementary school second-grade Korean language lesson was developed based on the analysis and improvement points were drawn with the exploration of its applicability. According to the results of this study, applicability of Backward Design version 2.0 is proposed in terms of usability of UbD template version 2.0, change of teachers` understanding, and formation of their community culture. In addition, when Backward Design version 2.0 is applied to an elementary school, not only will learners foster their transferable ability and formation of meaning through the acquisition of knowledge and skills but teachers will gain expertise as curriculum designers and performers.
