The aim of this paper is to analyze Korean specific particles ‘i/ga’ and ‘eul/leul’ and show how to teach them effectively to foreign learners. In this respect, we first analysed some typical ‘i/ga’ or ‘eul/leul’ constructions: they seem very similar in appearance but their syntactic structures are quite different. We showed that in order to explain effectively ‘i/ga’ and ‘eul/leul’ constructions, the notion of ‘topic’ should be introduced and found that there exist some particular semantic restrictions between two successive noun phrases participating in ‘i/ga’ and ‘eul/leul’ constructions. Secondly, we tried to show how to construct the educational substance and method of these specific particles ‘i/ga’ and ‘eul/leul’. We proposed to introduce types of ‘i/ga’ and ‘eul/leul’ constructions, typical predicates used with these constructions, semantic restrictions of two successive noun phrases participating in these constructions, equivalent constructions corresponding to these constructions and their concrete examples in constructing the educational substance and method of the specific particles ‘i/ga’ and ‘eul/leul’.
