This study reviews how basic grammatical units are treated in Korean language grammar education, and plans for improvements. First, it examines what difficulties learners face to make errors when learning each grammatical unit such as morpheme, word, eojeol, phrase, paragraph, sentence, etc. It is widely known that sentence and word are common grammatical units that learners commonly recognize, but eojeol, which is categorized as a space in Korean text, should also be considered. Learners may be confused by the inconsistent units of eojeol and word, inconsistent detachability of grammatical morphemes which comprise eojeol and complex functions. The pattern, a grammatical item treated as a grammatical unit in Korean language education, has been studied with a focus on selecting and arranging the items for application to Korean language education. Recently, it has been actively discussed whether the items of Korean language education should be reorganized, due to the wide range of grammatical items and unclear boundaries among vocabulary items. This study attempts to reorganize existing grammatical items based on grammatical units through analyses.
