The primary purpose of this paper is to lead a direction for the development of Korean Literary materials especially for advanced learners. Under this purpose, firstly I focused on the examination of present teaching materials, and secondly explored the criterions that we would choose the literary texts for advanced learners. When we develop Korean literary materials, the most difficult problem is what literary texts we should choose. It needs appropriate criterions of choosing text for advanced learners, this study suggested that those criterions are linguistic, cultural, and literary historic criterion. These criterion should be applied differently depends on learner's level, the higher their level is, the linguistic factors are less important and the cultural factor's importance is greater. In relation, the literary texts in the textbooks for the middle school students in Korea are a helpful example for the development of Korean literary materials for advanced learners of Korean as foreign language.
