 Methods will analyze the cultural section in the Standard Korean Language textbooks for communication pur-poses (KSL for Communication 1, 2, 3, 4 targeting middle and high school students, excluding the supplementary learning tools focused on enhance. since they are intended for integrated learning in the curriculum. Instead, we will focus on analyzing the cultural section overed in Standard Korean Language for Communication 1, 2, 3, and 4, specifically targeting middle and high school students.
 Results When we analyzed the cultural section in the textbooks, we found that they were divided into daily cul-ture, peer culture, play culture, and literature, and that daily culture and peer culture were mostly presented, and literature was not presented at all. In the culture section, middle and high school students described cultures and peer cultures related to their daily lives and school life, but the content was biased toward everyday culture and peer culture. In addition, at a time when multicultural education was changing to interculturalism, it was regret-table that the mention of other cultures was only one line at the end of the cultural section.
 Conclusions To facilitate effective communication among multicultural high school students, it is necessary to in-crease the emphasis on cultural section and include literature aspects. Moreover, there should be specific in-clusion of different cultures to foster mutual understanding from an intercultural perspective.
