This study suggests the direction of improvement of Korean language education program for marriage immigrants. Currently, Korean language education programs for marriage immigrants at the government level are representative of the Multicultural Family Support Center Program of Korean Institute for Healthy Family, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Social Integration Program of the Ministry of Justice. Both institutions offer various programs for marriage immigrants in Korean language education and settlement in Korean society. In this paper, we compare the Korean language education programs of two institutions and analyze the Korean special programs operated for the last year(2017) through the database of Korean Institute for Healthy Family. It then suggests that the direction of Korean language education for marriage immigrants should be pursued in three directions: stable settlement of marriage immigrants in Korean society, faithful role as parents, and entry into Korean society through vocational works. Finally, it suggest a plan to run a Korean language education program for marriage immigrants by the collaboration between the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Gender Equality through the Korean language education programs of the Social Integration Program and the Multicultural Family Support Center of the Korean Institute for Healthy Family respectively.
