Modern Korean breaks new ground in the field of Korean studies by
providing students at last with an intermediate-level language
text. The volume emphasizes the development of reading proficiency,
but the exercises reinforce skills learned through conversation
practice. They use a communicative approach emphasizing
student-student and student-teacher interactions in real-life
scenarios. Twenty-four lessons are divided into two groups of
twelve lessons each. A single lesson consists of a main text,
written in expository or descriptive prose that often incorporates
a conversational style; a dialogue; a discussion of new word usage
and structural patterns; substitution and grammar drills;
exercises; and a vocabulary list. The second half of the book
introduces Chinese characters found in each lesson. Modern Korean
may be used for classroom instruction or self-study. Main text
topics cover a wide range of subjects including Korean history,
geography, holidays, literature, customs, and people, allowing
students to develop a better understanding of Korean society and
culture while improving their language skills.
