The purpose of this study is to bring up the necessity of culture instruction based on value in Korean education and to suggest its practical methodology. The foreign learners studying in Korea have strong language needs while those studying in the U.S. and Europe have additional needs of knowing Korean culture as well. Therefore, this study attempts to provide foreign learners with some information and knowledge about Korean modern cultures and to facilitate their understanding. The traditional classes teaching Korean culture simply focus on delivering information about Korean life culture. In this regard, this study tries to overcome their limitations and to provide foreign learners with the opportunity to know Korean peoples’ perspective implicit in their life style. This study examines Korean value oriented culture from the viewpoint of culture relativism and explores the characteristics of Korean cultures from the contrasitive cultures’ standpoint. Korean learners can appreciate Korean peoples’ perspective by value approached study.
