AB - This paper has studied the aspects of political correctness of the Korean Language Proficiency Test by examining the hidden curriculum of the listening and reading passages toward gender, country, class, and culture. The results of analysis are as follows. First, stereotypes about gender appeared in the occupations and status differences of male and female characters, and the pattern of speech acts. Second, with regard to the perception of the nationality, foreigners were portrayed as a minority of outsiders, which can be seen as implicit discrimination in the form of invisibility and stereotyping. Third, prejudice against social class has been confirmed through the characters’ occupations, and about 84% of the characters were portrayed as middle-class. Fourth, most of the listening and reading passages dealt with the elements of Korean culture, and more materials related to Western culture than Eastern culture were used, suggesting some bias toward a specific culture.
