This studyresearch deals with the errors that occur in honorific expressions in Korean textbooks about Business Japanese Languageand . In a business situation, it is impossible to leave honorific expressions behind, and it is also one of the most important aspects of Business Japanese Language Education. It is easy to make mistakes while using honorific language because there are various scenes to which it relates. Many textbooks published in Korea show inappropriate language regarding honorific expressions. This research extracts these errors and organizes the types and causes of each one. Because the errors in textbooks mean errors committed by teachers, and because this leads to students’ errors, it is important to guide them through first. The results of the research is as follows. The errors (23) on honorific language in Business Japanese textbooks are respectful language (8), humble language I (7), and so forth (other respectful expressions other than honorific language (6), courteous language (1), and humble language II (1)). They are listed in order of their frequency. There are no errors on beautifying language. Humble language I has a lot of verb errors (6), and respectful language has a lot of noun errors (5). In other errors, there are those such as “arigatougozaimasu”, “kekkoudesu” and “osewaninarimasu”. As a result, one should be careful in Business Japanese Language textbooks and in honorific language education regarding verbs in humble language I, nouns in respectful language, and errors in various polite expressions.
