The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of reading global literature on students’ literacy ability and intercultural sensitivity in regard to students’ gender and grade levels, with the same data as in Bae’s (2013) study. This study is a onegroup pretest-posttest design. Participants were 131 Korean students from the 5th to 8th grades, and they read and studied picture books of global literature for 15 weeks. There was no gender difference in the effects of reading global literature on L2 literacy achievement and intercultural sensitivity development, as demonstrated by latent mean analyses. On the other hand, there were some differences in intercultural sensitivity achievement for different grade levels. Only 7th grade students did not show a significant improvement in intercultural sensitivity, especially the sections on respect for cultural differences, interaction confidence, and interaction attentiveness. Furthermore, the interaction attentiveness measure of intercultural sensitivity saw statistically significant improvement in the other three grade levels.
