Textbooks for Korean language reading with clearly defined teaching concept, contents, pedagogy and assessment approaches play a self-evident role in the teaching of reading skills in Korean language teaching. It is necessary to make an analysis and assessment of the existing textbooks before developing textbooks for Korean language reading that can meet the demands of teachers and students. This paper intends to define the basic principles governing textbook analysis and some specific textbook analysis projects through studying and analyzing the basic principles of the teaching of reading skills and the theory on textbook assessment. Based on that, the paper studies the three advanced textbooks for Korean language reading, which are being used by the Korean majors in China`s universities, conducts a systematic and detailed comparison and analysis of these three textbooks from the two aspects of external composition and internal elements, makes impartial comments on the strengths and weaknesses of all the three textbooks, and then works out a specific plan for the development of advanced textbooks for Korean language reading.
