This study focused on the reconceptualisation of multicultural literacy including skilled literacy, sociocultural literacy and critical literacy. I suggested also several ideas on how to develop the students" multicultural literacy, such as composing 2011 curriculum or some reading lists and programs. Multicultural (literacy) education will be more effective when the class are integrated with both general and multi-cultural students. In particular it is important to develop the literacy of the whole group as well as personal literacy in a society. The multicultural condition of Korea is a little different from other countries such as USA, Australia and France, etc. Korea is relatively a small multi-cultural country compared to the above countries. So Korea needs to get adequate strategies for multicultural literacy education in preparing 2011 curriculum and various reading programs.
