This paper looked at the goal and contents of cultural education and constructed the lesson based on cultural learning model to more effectively teach them. Cultural education on the field of Korean language education was described in terms of the position that cultural education is the education of behavioral culture. The importance of achievement culture and information culture can not be overlooked but this is because what is more required of beginner’s class learners lies in everyday cultural education that can be applied to real life. The linguistic and cultural estrangement in and out of classroom can be reduced and Korean language education can be conducted more effectively through the understanding of sociocultual context. As for the angle that looks at culture, Etic and Emic analysises were referred to. Each analysis is significant but when these two analysises are balanced in cultural education, they can have a greater effect. Lastly, while looking into Morgan’s, Hoopes’ and Hanvey’s cultural models, this paper constructed cultural lesson that can be applied to Korean language education. Cultural education should more solidify its goal of cultivating proficiency in social and contextual communications by exposing Korean learners to Korea’s everyday culture and Korean language environment naturally. Especially, even a learner who has a low proficiency should enhance his or her cultural communication ability by learning by heart a sentence in its entirety and speaking it.
