Children’s Literature Education

Children's literature education makes up an important part of elementary education since a great amount of children's literature is found in elementary Korean language textbooks, and literature-based language teaching has always been very popular. Children's literature education involves holistic understanding of children's literature. It can be classified as education of children's literature creation, education through children's literature, and education about children's literature. Children's literature education can therefore be a means of achieving the educational goals linked with certain subjects such as Korean language, social studies, and ethics.
