The Korean Language Education has been developed based on the Learner-Centered and Communication-Centered concepts; meanwhile the Korean Culture Education also has been discussed as one of the main topics. In this thesis, I intend to redefine the meaning of ‘Culture’ and explore the methodology of Culture Education on the assumption of the concept of Equivalent Integration of Korean Language Education and Korean Culture Education Of course, I do not intend to disregard all of the previous discussions nor the items listed for Culture Education. But, as shown in the title of this thesis, if culture education is needed in Korean Language Education, I suggest that ‘culture’ must not be acquired as ‘knowledge,’ but as a ‘competence,’ and one should not be forced to learn it in conjunction with the listed items. Therefore, Language Classroom must be redefined as “the place” that learners and teachers can feel and recognize together as the environment where the investigational process can occur. Korean Language Education must be understood as a place of coexistence and integration of Korean Language Education and Korean Culture Education.
