Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze web accessibility of e-learning for Korean langage. First, I evaluated KOSNET, Nurisejonghakdang, TeenKorean, Tour2Korea and Talktomein Korean whether they provide text alternatives for any non-text content. The results shows that text alternatives are provided insufficiently. Secondly I researched whether they provide ways to help users navigate using K-WAH as well. I found they offer means to help users navigate appropriately. Finally I tested their cross browser compatibility. Only 50% of the sites function correctly across over 3 different browsers. Thus current web accessibility of e-learning for Korean langage is not satisfactory. I suggested three ways to improve web accessibility such as stakeholders’ accessibility awareness, e-learning sites renovation based on the study about users’ environment and constant accessibility management.
