New Sogang Korean 1A Student's Book

This new Sogang Korean series is an updated version of its predecessor with the following changes: a new grammar textbook, updated and modernized information on social and cultural context, new illustrations, and a more effective layout. It serves as a complete guide for Korean language learning, covering grammar, reading, speaking, listening, and writing.

The objective of this book is to assist readers in improving their communication skills in the Korean language. The format of the textbook and workbook allows learners to select and focus on any of the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. These skills are connected by a common learning objective in each lesson, enabling students to build on each through new situations and repetition. Students learn specific language functions through meaningful practice dialogues, ultimately allowing them to create their own original conversations. Relevant illustrations accompany each lesson to provide visual context and heighten student interest. Additionally, lesson objectives and tasks are written in English to facilitate the learning process for beginners. To further assist independent study, the book includes English explanations of Korean grammar, scripts for each CD, complete translations for each lesson, and a glossary of terms.
