The purpose of this paper is to develop principles of constructing teaching-learning methods in Korean language education (hereafter called KLE). Teaching-learning methods have been one of the most important topic in KLE since the 7th curriculum. This tendency implies that researchers began to recognize how to teach students is as important as what to teach. Unfortunately, KLE researchers have used the terms in different ways, such as teaching-learning model, method, strategy, technique, etc.. I tried to reconceptualize the terms in this paper. I investigated guidebooks for teachers, focusing on teaching-learning methods, which showed that just a few methods were showed frequently in similar ways. Also I suggested some principles of constructing teaching-learning Methods in KLE. We need to give more attention to the combination of model(s) and technique(s) as well as technique(s) and technique(s). I suggested that the principles of integrating methods and techniques in various ways, which will help teachers as well ass developer of models or methods.
