‘Korean language’ is a language of the Korean race and the national official language of the Republic of Korea. Korean language education is divided into lifelong Korean language education and school education of Korean language. The Korean language educational policy has four representative policies of national curriculum, textbooks, teachers, and orthography. The Korean language policy and the Korean language education policy is in a mutually inclusive relationsthp. The laws related to Korean language policy have the Basic Law of Korean Language. The Minionry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology are major policy organizations and the National Institute of the Korean Language and the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation concern the related matters. The national language policy planning has two methods；one is a national intervention policy that French implements and the other is the United States laissez-faire. Korean language policy is closer to the national intervention policy of French. The major issue of the Korean language national curriculum is division of the domains of Korean language whether it should be six domains of speaking, listening, reading, writing, literature, and grammar or four domains focusing on skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. There are also a controversy over a relationship between the Korean language subject and the Chinese writing subject, and an argument over Chinese characters education. The people want the Chinese characters education in elementary school but the government disregards the public opinion. Our Korean language educational policy has promoted policies by elitism, however, the future decisions on policies should stand on a viewpoint of pluralism. To do so, a lesson from a failure of previous policies should be considered and decisions should be made by concerning the voices from various fields where specialists, bureaucrats, educators, students, parents, and others insist their own opinions.
