Integrated Korean Workbook: Beginning 2

KLEAR Textbooks in Korean Language

by Mee-Jeong Park

The Beginning Level texts and workbooks are the first of a five-level series (Beginning 1 and 2, Intermediate 1 and 2, Advanced Intermediate, and Advanced) developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All series volumes have been developed in accordance with performance-based principles and methodology-learner-centeredness, contextualization, use of authentic materials, function/task-orientedness, balance between skill getting and skill using, and integration of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture. Grammar points are systematically introduced with simple but adequate explanations and abundant examples, exercises, and drills.

Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of two or three model dialogues, narration, new words and expressions, pronunciation notes, vocabulary notes, culture, grammar, task/function, and English translation of dialogues. The workbooks provide students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned from the main texts.

[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.
