The purpose of this study is to explore about the perspective on Korean learners based on the context of the reader as a language learners in a viewpoint of reading education. So far, the learner who is searched in the field of Korean language education has been focused on the appearance as a good Korean user rather than as the subject of the meaning construction or the participant of the meaning negotiation. In fact, most Korean learners are mature learners who can deal with 'the meaning' already. Therefore, it is necessary to look at them as a subject that deals with meaning from a personal perspective and from a social perspective as a participant who negotiates meaning with other readers. Until now, readers have been regarded as learners who actively communicate with the authors and construct meaning about the texts. On the other hand, current readers are those who have the ability tho empathize with ‘you’ as the other readers. In other words, reading is not only a communication with the writer but also a negotiation between unfinished readers. From this point of view, semantic negotiation between learners, which is the subject of meaning construction, should be a key research subject in Korean language education.
