This is a thoroughly revised edition of Integrated Korean: Advanced 2,
the eighth volume of the best-selling series developed collaboratively
by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All the series'
volumes have been developed in accordance with performance-based
principles and methodology--contextualization, learner-centeredness, use
of authentic materials, usage-orientedness, balance between skill
getting and skill using, and integration of speaking, listening,
reading, writing, and culture. Grammar points are systematically
introduced in simple but adequate explanations and abundant examples and
exercises.
All lessons are content-based and address a wide variety of topics
chosen to meet students' interests and needs. Authentic examples of
texts provided include poems, news articles, speeches, and essays. Each
content-based lesson consists of objectives, pre-lesson topics, and
reading, further reading, and culture sections. Reading sections contain
comprehension questions, grammar and usage, and activities; further
reading sections are accompanied by their own comprehensive activities.
To ensure students' accurate understanding of the material, English
translations of all Korean texts are given at the end of each chapter.
Vocabulary for each lesson appears conveniently at the bottom of the
page.
