This study was conducted to learn how marriage immigrant women
can improve their Korean language skills while performing their role
as parents. For this purpose, it was intended to use elementary school
Korean textbooks as textbooks for Korean education targeting married
immigrant women. Of course, there are many Korean textbooks out
now, and ones that can be used by married immigrant women are
being distributed sufficiently. However, the focus of this paper is not
only to improve the Korean language skills of married immigrant
women but also to establish a role as a parent and restore
self-esteem. A minor but serious problem in multicultural families lies
in ‘difference’. Children experience it from their peers at school, and
married immigrant women are hurt by their children's disregard for
differences. Therefore, in order to restore the self-esteem of children
of multicultural families and married immigrant women, they should
be able to actively participate in their children's school problems. In
this regard, if married immigrant women use Korean language
education as a textbook for their children, it is thought that they will
be able to recover not only Korean language skills but also their
authority as mothers.Journal of Korean Studies in Central Eurasia
