The affective development is no less necessary than the cognitive development. On the 7th National Curriculum, the affective education in Korean Language Education has been designed as a independent category for its importance, but it still leaves something to be desired. First, it is less systematic. For instance, the name of category is attitude , this concept is a superordinate concept for some subordinate concepts like interest, motive, value, etc., but attitude is also a subordinate concept. Second, the contents by domain are unbalanced. As compared with the domain of knowledge about Korean Language , other domains, as hearing, speaking, reading, writing , don t have sufficient contents. Thud, the contents by school level have difficulty in distinction partly, because they are divided too much. The affective education in Korean language education has four aspects; the attitude to Korean as a subject; the attitude to Korean as mother tongue; the ability to understand emotional expressions in texts and to express them in texts; the attitude to a narrator or an utterer in texts. The contents of affective education have to be designed including these aspects all. For this change, first of all, the concept of attitude needs to be re-conceptualized for the systematical and comprehensive direction. In addition, we have to consider the staging by school level, it is desirable to combine three levels into a stage.
