AB - In recent years the Korean National Curriculum of English has been revised and its achievement standards have been established. The purpose of this paper is to compare the achievement standards of the Korean National Curriculum of English with those of Common European Framework of References (CEFR) which has been developed by a number of leading applied linguists and pedagogical specialists from more than 40 member states of the Council of Europe. It also explores the underpinnings and rationales of the two framework developments and discusses their commonalities and differences in terms of the standard descriptions and the framework development methods. Based on the discussions and findings, some general suggestions are made to provide the common basis for the proper Korean curriculum development of English education. Firstly, omplementary quantitative methods are needed to obtain objective validity of achievement standards. Secondly, like CEFR, the descriptive scheme of our achievement standards is required to emphasize the communicative aspects by setting communicative metacategories. Finally, there seem to be significant level discrepancies within the same category as well as between the different categories of language skills. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the balance in describing the levels of language attainment.
