This paper aims to analyze the grammar sections of five advanced–level textbooks published by Korean language education institutions at universities. It assesses the current state of grammar education for advanced learners and proposes future directions. The analysis revealed that advanced textbooks tend to separate target grammar forms from those used in speaking and writing tasks, with target forms primarily exposed through listening and reading activities. Additionally, though learners are encouraged to infer the meanings of target grammar forms through context, the information on their usage contexts is often insufficient. It was also identified that there is a need to support advanced learners in integrating their grammatical knowledge effectively for communication. These findings highlight the essential aspects that advanced grammar education should address. Future research should include qualitative studies, such as observational research in educational settings, to provide more practical insights.
