The course is composed of the teacher, the student and the teaching materials. But the function of supplementary readers as teaching materials for German literature has been not widely discussed and approved in Korea. In the first part of my paper 1 wiU describe existing supplementary readers which are almost the annotated readers. In the second part 1 will explain to three aspects for the production of the supplementary readers in the foreign language class. 1) The aspect of literature: it is important for the students to do experience the literary forms which are various and original. 2) The aspect of language: words and sentence structures must be neither excessively easy nor excessively difficult. 3) The aspect of reading process: the understanding process of literary texts should be more effectively used. The present paper attempts to convey the aesthetic and pedagogical values of supplementary readers in the foreign language class.
