This book is the
culmination of educational know-how and systematic grammar organization
acquired by the three authors from their experience actually teaching
Korean to foreigners in the classroom. In focusing strictly on Korean
grammar, this series represents a departure from most current integrated
teaching materials, allowing foreign learners to more easily
concentrate on grammar in their study of Korean. The authors have
included real dialogues and illustrations to make the study of Korean
more interesting, especially for those students who have heretofore felt
Koran grammar to be difficult. Further, this series equally serves as a
general Korean grammar reference that can be used by Korean language
instructors both in Korea and abroad who regularly experience the
difficulty of teaching Korean grammar first-hand.
• Collects the
introductory grammar points normally taught in Levels 1 and 2 at most
university affiliated and private language institutes.
• Makes
it easy for learners to locate those grammar patterns they find the most
confusing by providing comparisons of patterns similar in meaning and
usage. This way, learners can not only clarify the differences between
similar patterns, but also study how they are used differently depending
on the situation.
• Lets the learner confirm the usage of
target grammar points by illustrating how they are used in real
conversation. The examples presented are not simply sentences
constructed for the purpose of illustrating grammar, but rather examples
of how the grammar points are actually used in real life.
•
Includes special sections on particularly tricky grammar points to allow
learners to acquire a more accurate and natural-sounding command of
Korean. Further, by presenting a variety of grammatical patterns along
with both practice exercises and graphic illustrations, learners can
approach the study of Korean grammar with renewed interest.
