Recently regarding a language education, there are many arguments that a unit of language should be dealt with at a level of context or text, not the one of individual sentence. Regarding a learning process, a focus is made on a learning process using a perception beyond the level of a memorizing by a simple repetition. This can be the result of reflecting the fact that a text and talk-oriented research is conducted in terms of linguistics and that a research on an invisible language understanding process is made in terms of psychology. A reading is the most important area in designing a content-based syllabus of lectures. Consequently, the education of Korean for a special purpose or a college studying purpose can be a Korean acquiring process as a reading process. However, Smith(1994) points out that a selection and organization of text, which contains topic vocabularies of a particular theme to be studied in a content-based reading learning, is very important. The purpose of this paper is to analyze data on a selection and organization of text, which foreign students should study, in a bigger framework of a theme-based language instruction, design a syllabus of lectures, and discuss on a direction to develop a reading textbook for foreign students.
