                              Abstract 
        The purpose of this study is to analyze volume 1 to 4 of the national textbooks , a Korean language education textbook that marriage immigrants 
        learned through 217 multicultural family support centers nationwide, and provide basic data to 
        develop textbooks that do not exclude or discriminate women. To achieve this, the research 
        question of "How are female immigrants represented in the ?"  was  set.  The  research  question  was  then  analyzed  based  on  the  gender 
        discrimination assessment standard  introduced in Critical Discourse Analysis and specifically by 
        Sadker & Sadker's teaching materials for textbooks and curriculum which are a total of seven 
        categories. In addition, one more category was added to the analysis due to textbooks that revealed 
        the deficiencies of female marriage immigrants which is a category I added and becomes my 
        originality. It reveals female marriage immigrants portrayed as women being poor or lacking in 
        various aspects such as language, cultural knowledge, education, economic level and more.
