This paper selected three grade-three textbooks from major Korean educational institutions to measure and compare the syntactic characteristics and difficulty of dialogues. The analyzed syntactic characteristics included the length and volume of dialogues, as well as the types of embedded clauses, while the syntactic difficulty was analyzed based on the complexity of sentences according to Analytic Grammar. The results revealed three main findings: Firstly, there is significant variation in syntactic difficulty among the three textbook types. Secondly, even within textbooks from the same institution, syntactic difficulty does not consistently increase. Thirdly, there is a possibility that dialogues do not fully reflect the characteristics of spoken language in terms of syntactic difficulty or types of embedded clauses. Based on these findings, it is argued that there is a need to standardize difficulty among textbooks to some extent, considering a standard level, that textbooks should exhibit a balanced difficulty trend from various perspectives, and that it is necessary to consider both the genre characteristics of spoken and written language when developing textbooks.
