Park Tae-won was involved in Korean language education during Japanese colonial era to liberation, directly and indirectly. The main issues of this research are that detail contents and meaning of his participation. This discussion will extend the scope of Park Tae-won research and investigate specific aspect of Korean language education during Japanese colonial era to directly after liberation. In Japanese colonial era, Park Tae-won published various style juvenile literatures. At that time, Japanese became official language. Furthermore, Chosun language education was abolished from public education in phases. His fairy tales reflect his uncommon identity toward language education of those days. His novels such as ‘sok-gob’, ‘tug-of-war’, and ‘Kim Hoo-Jik’ were published, occasionally, titled as ‘A reading book’. These novels concentrated Chosun language education and national consciousness, and were used in Korean language teaching materials at studio and night instruction. Even though indirectly, it was useful means of confrontation to the situation. After liberation, Park Tae-won was concerned about composition education. He published two composition texts: ‘Secondary-school model composition’, ‘Secondary-school composition writing’. ‘Secondary-school model composition’ is edited auxiliary textbook, and ‘Secondary-school composition writing’ is written textbook by him. The first one is a kind of good writing compilation. It contains classified several writings served as a role model by subjects. Then, it was used in Chosun language auxiliary textbook at Korean Japanese school. The second one is composition writing textbook written by Park tae-won directly. The book is generally divided into three chapters such as essence of writing, the way of writing, and kind of writing. He facilitates the understanding by explaining concept and suggesting detailed example sentence.
