Kim Hee-kyoung. 2013. A Study on the Functional Characteristics of Meta-Text. The language and Culture 9-2: 121-143. This research explores the various textual characteristics of Korean material. Korean material can be categorized as either ‘Object Text’ or ‘Meta Text’. While object texts contain knowledge of Korean and Koran Culture, Meta Texts function as a tool for teaching and learning of Object Texts. So the Object Text is included teaching and learning contents, whereas the Meta Text is included teaching and learning methods. On this basis, an analysis of the characteristics of Meta Texts serves as a clear explanation for the educational functionality of Korean materials. However, Meta Texts have not been researched as much as Object Texts have until now. This study aims to reveal the textual characteristics of Meta Text through representative Meta Text such as a learning objective and an activity directions etc. A learning objectives is a text that states the objective of a relevant text. A activity directions on the other hand illustrates the progress of the implementation process of lessons, especially its chronological aspect. As evidenced by how the two Meta Texts types comprise a significant proportion of material's elements, those can be defined as the main Meta Text used to determine the characteristics of Meta Text.
