As media and technology develop, it is necessary to use visual or auditory materials in Korean lessons. Of course, using visual materials in lessons means that visual materials will be used for questions in Korean tests. Since 1994, they have been used for the language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT), which plays a very important role in the Korean evaluation system. And there have been studies on using visual materials. Where the studies focused on the types of visual materials, but they didn't consider how visual materials actually affect the advancement of Korea’n language ability. In this study, visual materials of the 1994-2012 CSAT's language section are analyzed by visual material types, using visual materia’ls in subcategories of Korean language education, and using visual materials for question aspects. Then it is analyzed the connection between the Korean language education's subcategories and its visual materials. Precond’itions for using visual materials in Korean language evaluations of schools are considered by aspects of teachers, learners and the learning environment. There are three standards for using visual materials on questions: general standard, standards in the Korean language education's subcategories, and standards of visual materials. General standards deal wit’h the suitability between evaluation contents and evaluation ability, attention points when materials are chosen, placement by visual materials' number and size. By standards in the subcategories, it is decided how t’o use visual materials in the five subcategories. Lastly, visual materials are classified by the connection with the question elements.
