This article considered correlation between the Chinese subject and the life science subject focusing on the subject achievement and aspects of learning life science terms of students in the course of natural sciences at general high school. According to the results of the survey, students in the course of natural sciences have a strong tendency to develop their aptitude and specialty and choose subjects that are interesting to them in terms of the importance and preference of subjects. Therefore, it is needed to enhance the degree of importance and interest of the Chinese subject by designing the class properly so that they can regard that the Chinese subject is helpful in cultivating their refinement and directly in learning other subjects, too. Correlation between the Chinese subject and the life science subject was considered by using a statistical analysis package, I-STATistic. Regarding their achievement between the Chinese subject and the life science subject, in the way of learning life science terms’ group, there was significant difference between Chinese characters’ group terms and Western words’ group terms. About Chinese characters’ group terms, the statistical analysis has shown that the way of learning was correlated with subject achievement while the achievement of Western words’ group terms is correlated with subject achievement. According to the results of analyzing the terms contained in life science textbooks in order to develop efficient teaching methods for Chinese characters’ group life science terms, Chinese characters showing high frequency of use include many Chinese characters for middle school education, and they consist of Chinese characters that can be learned relatively easily, and in the Chinese subject, they can be properly used as examples when teaching words related with prerequisite learning. As basic directions for teaching Chinese characters’ group life science terms, we should consider four things: first, when teaching academic terms for the life science subject, it is necessary to use mainly the Chinese characters highly transferable in learning as they show high frequency of use. Second, it is desirable not to analyze the meaning of words that have been included in Korean, highly abstruse words not included in 1800 Chinese characters for education, or proper nouns inefficient to be understood with Chinese characters. Third, in order to increase correlation between the Chinese subject and the life science subject, it is needed to examine positively the organization of the curriculum and textbooks that are helpful in enhancing Korean reading skills. Fourth, to make above suggestions produce actual results, it is necessary to revise ‘exclusive Hangul use’ policy institutionally so that we can establish an environment to write Hangul and Chinese characters together in textbooks or teaching materials.
