Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine what contents and materials should be used to teach Middle Korean language. Methods ‘Content selection criteria’ were established, and the contents of Middle Korean language education were selected based on this. In consideration of the contents selected in this way and the ‘material selection criteria’, I selected Middle Korean language education materials and attempted to confirm that the selected contents could be taught through the selected materials. Results According to the content selection criteria, the contents of Middle Korean language education were selected in each aspect of ‘orthography, phonology, grammar, and vocabulary’, and according to the material selection criteria, the Korean version of 『Hunminjeongeum』(<Royal foreword>) and 『Samganghaengsildo』(「Jinsiyanggo」 and 「Wangcheon Iksu」) were selected as Middle Korean language education materials. It was confirmed that the selected contents could be taught and learned through the selected materials. Conclusions Middle Korean language education involves the teaching and learning of ‘contents’ along with ‘materials’, and by considering these together organically, we can approach from a more realistic perspective what kind of contents and materials are best for teaching Middle Korean language.
