National curriculum of literature education has emphasized knowledge as means to perform literature activity. That is, literature knowledge could be a guide to enjoy literature and to participate in literary community. But knowledge about literature in curriculum or textbooks is not enough to promote meaningful literature activity. Knowledge in curriculum and textbooks mostly present analytic information or ethical propaganda rather than suggest a guide to enjoy literature so as to participate in literary community in practice. Because it is lack of ‘objectifiability of statement,’ ‘leaner’s life-long connectibility` and ‘performance promotibility’.

This actualization of knowledge shows what leaners could do or should do in their practice of literature activities.
