In this paper, I suggested the practice of the teaching method of Korean language using TV dramas. It is based on the result of instruction of advanced Korean language learners using Secret Garden, a Korean TV drama. Although this teaching method was designed for the integrated instruction of four skills-speaking, listening, reading and writing, it turned out speaking ability was improved most in reality. Through this teaching method, Korean learners who talked in a literary style were able to talk in a colloquial style. In addition, the Korean learners said the best thing about the teaching method was to take part in Korean lessons with great interest. There was an opinion that they could understand how to use terms of respect actually which they learned only from the textbooks. In case of Secret Garden, a Korean TV drama, the conversations in specific situations are suggested distinctly such as between coworkers, friends, lovers, seniors and juniors. The conversation here is not limited to the contents of their talks. Accents and tones of voice cannot be learned by books, however, personalizing these points through the audiovisual learning using TV dramas is the merit of this teaching method. If the clear guidance of a teacher is added to a learner while he or she studies Korean using TV dramas, it will contribute much to improving the Korean ability of the learner. Through Korean TV dramas, a learner could acquire how to apply the grammar points he or she has learned from the beginning to the intermediate level in actual conversations.
