This is a thoroughly revised edition of Integrated Korean: Beginning 1, the first volume of the best-selling series developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All the 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 second edition, this new third edition features an attractive color design with new photos and drawings and lesson and vocabulary exercises that have been fully reorganized. Each lesson contains a conversational text (with its own vocabulary list) and a reading passage. The accompanying workbook--available online as well as in paperback--provides students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned in the main text. Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to the five-level Integrated Korean textbooks and workbooks, volumes include Korean Composition, Korean Language in Culture and Society, Korean Reader for Chinese Characters, Readings in Modern Korean Literature, A Resource for Korean Grammar Instruction, and Selected Readings in Korean.

The Beginning Level texts and workbooks are the first in a comprehensive four-level series developed by experienced classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. This series emphasizes performance-based principles, focusing on learner-centeredness, contextualization, and the use of authentic materials. It balances skill acquisition and application while integrating speaking, listening, reading, writing, and cultural elements. Grammar is introduced systematically with clear explanations, examples, exercises, and drills. Each lesson features model dialogues, narration, new vocabulary, pronunciation notes, cultural insights, grammar, tasks, and English translations. The accompanying workbooks offer extensive skill-using activities that reinforce concepts from the main texts. This initiative is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR), supported by the Korea Foundation. Future volumes will include instructor's manuals, studies on Chinese characters, Korean composition, selected readings, modern literature, cultural insights, and a comprehensive dictionary of Korean grammar and usage.
