The purpose of this study is to examine whether the vocabulary of integrated Korean textbooks is properly presented in consideration of the theme and function of the unit. In particular, this study examines the use of the target vocabulary in the task activity stage that comprehensively utilizes the learning contents of each unit. To this end, five types of integrated Korean textbooks published after 2015 were reviewed. Through this, the following contents were confirmed. First, it was confirmed that the vocabulary was presented and used as a systematically organized educational item in recent Korean textbooks. All textbooks published before and after 2020, which were reviewed in this study, present a list of target vocabulary. Regarding each unit’s target vocabulary in terms of the unit’s task activities, some supplements need to be made. In addition, a problem was identified that too many new words were introduced in the performance assignment sections.
