This workbook accompanies the thoroughly revised edition of Integrated
Korean: Beginning 1, the first volume of the best-selling series
developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of
Korean. All 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.
Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of model
dialogues, narration, new words and expressions, vocabulary notes,
culture, grammar, usage, and English translation of dialogues. In
response to comments from hundreds of students and instructors of the
first edition, this new edition features a more attractive two-color
design with all new photos and drawings and an additional lesson and
vocabulary exercises. Lessons are now organized into two main sections,
each containing a conversational text (with its own vocabulary list) and
a reading passage. The accompanying workbook, newly written, provides
students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills
learned in the main text.
