In the academic community of Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language in Japan, according to the change of the view point about education, culture and so on, the Media Literacy has been noticed. This is also because Media Literacy is proved that it could be a momentum for the important challenge for identifying the one’s own culture and forming the one’s own individualized culture. I tried Media Literacy at the course of the “Japanese for Media”, which was offered in the Japanese Studies, Department of International Studies, Keimyung University, semester-1,2008. This article is a report about the practice which I tried as a part of Media Literacy, to make students be consciousness of their stereo types about Japan and its mechanism with a report of comparative study about the strategy of declining between Korea and Japan. In Korea, because of the background of the “unfortunate history” between Korea and Japan and “anti-Japanese feeling” based on that, stereo types about Japan have been amplified. In view of those situations in Korea, it is thought that Media Literacy in Korea exercises its effect and importance and Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language in Korea contributes to for identifying the one’s own culture and forming the one’s own individualized culture in Korea.
