Suit the needs of both students and teachers

During the last decade Korean language programs have been introduced in secondary and primary schools in the United States of America and the other countries. While the number and the backgrounds of students learning in the schools vary, one of the common difficulties in teaching the Korean language seems to be acquiring resources that satisfied both students and teachers. This book has been developed to cover some of the urgent needs in Korean language teaching at primary and intermediate schools in many English-speaking countries.

Learning relevant aspects of Korean culture

These two books designed for beginners at upper primary and intermediate school levels. Based on a communicative approach, these books aim at fostering students' skills of listening and speaking Korean through various stimulating activities as well as learning relevant aspects of Korean culture. These books attempt to provide students with an opportunity to explore basic reading and writing skills which can consolidate the acquired oral/aural proficiency.

A variety of study methods

Each unit consists of either two or three sets of a dialog and an oral task, classroom instructions, songs or chants, role-play, word checking, culture note, the Korean alphabet and a review. They are task-oriented and integrated for step-by-step Korean language learning with relevant audio input from a compact disc. Romanization of the Korean alphabet is provided in oral tasks and in other sections. It is advised, however, to listen to the CD for accurate pronunciation of Korean words. Games are fun and further enrich the Korean language learning experience in the classroom.
