The 4 skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are important subsets of teaching Korean as a foreign language. Among them, listening and reading skills are more commonly used than writing and speaking skills for foreigners, thus most educators lay special emphasis on students’ listening and reading skills improvement. In order to find out how to effectively teach listening and reading skills synchronously, I studied the relationship between listening and reading and then researched the effect of pre-reading on listening. In this study, the audio-visual media teaching method is used. The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of pre-reading on listening. First an interesting sitcom-drama is chose for this study. The students are divided into two groups. In one group, students read the script before listening. In another group, students only listen to the drama without pre-reading. According the research results, the students who read the script before listening have improved the listening skills more effectively. The results prove that reading the audio materials in advance can effectively improve students’ listening skill in Korean language education.
