This paper aims to review last three decades of korean language educations, in the view point of constructivism. Since the various theories and perspectives of constructivism have been introduced, there are so many confusions in korean education. Constructivism focus on the individual constructing process for meanings in the authentic contexts, so what is important is the human and life context, not objective knowledges that is important in structuralism. Then the relativity of knowledges do not stand together current structuralism that emphasizes the systematic knowledge structures. Many teachers understand the constructivism` principles, but they can`t realize the perspectives. Yet korean language teaching actually persue to standard and efficiency lessons by the one textbook. Korean lessons are divided to language four skills, and uses one textbooks arranged lesson`s aims. Now new textbook is scheduled to make by the 2007 revision curriculum. It is expected how accord with the constructivism and structuralism in new textbook.
