Overview

Topics in Korean Language and Culture: Volume Two covers 12 essential topics relating to both traditional and contemporary Korean culture and society for advanced Korean learners. Each chapter consists of listening and reading passages, key expressions and idioms, and performance-based activities that unfold across different modes of oral and written communication. All reading passages are authentic texts written for real-world purposes and audiences by prominent scholars, journalists, and writers in various fields in Korea. Both listening and reading passages incorporate a variety of text types and speech styles that learners will encounter in real life. The grammar section encompasses foundation reviews, semantic distinctions, and language functions. The second volume is suitable for learners in their fourth or fifth year of learning Korean at the post-secondary level (ACTFL Advanced−Superior), with the first volume having provided a firm basis for high intermediate learners. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of courses and curricula offered in the field of Korean studies worldwide and is intended for both a year-long language sequence and a semester-long intensive course in advanced Korean speaking, reading, writing, or translation.
