The Intermediate Level texts and workbooks are the second of a
five-level series (Beginning 1 and 2, Intermediate 1 and 2, Advanced
Intermediate 1 and 2, and Advanced 1 and 2) developed collaboratively by
leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All series volumes
have been developed in accordance with performance-based principles and
methodology--learner-centeredness, contextualization, use of authentic
materials, function/task-orientedness, balance between skill getting and
skill using, and integration of speaking, listening, reading, writing,
and culture. Grammar points are systematically introduced with simple
but adequate explanations and abundant examples, exercises, and drills.
Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of two or
three model dialogues, narration, new words and expressions,
pronunciation notes, vocabulary notes, culture, grammar, task/function,
and English translation of dialogues. The workbooks provide students
with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned from
the main texts.
