Recently culture learning has been a much-discussed topic in Korean as a Foreign Language. The discussion focuses on teaching bits of cultural knowledge. However, ‘cultural practice’, ‘attitude’ and ‘reflexive attitude regarding to/ about self- and other-identity in a multicultural context’ are hardly treated, which are key points of ’intercultural understanding’ in a globalized age. This paper aims to make some suggestions for the direction of cultural learning in KFL in terms of this unexplored aspect of intercultural learning. Based on the concept of learning a foreign language as a means of interacting with people of another society and culture, it is attempted to apply the ethnographic research method to learning a culture in KFL.
