Integrated Korean Workbook: Beginning 2

KLEAR Textbooks in Korean Language

by Mee-Jeong Park, Hyo Sang Lee, Carol Schulz

This workbook accompanies the thoroughly revised edition of Integrated Korean: Beginning 2, the second 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.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great companion to the textbook! It has a lot of opportunities to practice vocabulary and grammar along with a little bit of writing. The online resource for the listening is a excellent source to use with the books (and are free!). Only downfall once again, is lack of answer key to check for answers but overall, the workbook challenges and enables learners to hone skills learned through the textbook. A must buy with the textbook!

This is a great workbook to use alongside the textbook. It provides additional exercises to the grammar points presented in the textbook. The only downside is the absence of answers, which may prove to be an obstacle to self-learners who have no mean to check their answers.
