Textbooks should be based on a curriculum. Because the curriculum is related to show a structure in each field of study. So if someone knows the curriculum of Korean Language Education as a foreign language, he/she can understand the phenomenon of that field. Then they can construct the textbooks systematically. Especially, It is very important for the Korean Language textbooks to be made for teachers who live in abroad. Because that have to be developed considering the level, region, and situation of learners. So, we need to construct the curriculum before the textbooks. This paper is concentrated on the textbooks and its policy that have developed by The National Institute of The Korean Language. Because most of them was provided a basis for the curriculum, it will be meaningful for researchers to explore them. Textbooks should display the process of teaching and learning obviously. The teachers who work in school abroad want to know what and how to teach learners mostly. The learners also want to know what and how to learn. So we have to let them know the ways of use of the textbooks through the explicit construction. In addition, the textbooks have to be reflected the context where learners and teachers live. In order to develop the textbooks that are appropriate the context, we should consider the active two-way communication. Because language usually do not include the message, but also the culture of the local areas. Lastly, I want to emphasize that selecting and supplying the textbooks is more important than developing them. So we need to pay careful attention to select and supply the excellent textbooks.
