Klear Textbooks in Korean Language Integrated Korean: High Advanced 2, Second Edition, (Paperback)

This is a thoroughly revised edition of Integrated Korean: High Advanced 2, the tenth volume of the best-selling series developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All the series' volumes have been created 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. The new editions of High Advanced are the first to implement the goals set forth in the College Korean Curriculum Inspired by National Standards for Korean, published by the American Association of Teachers of Korean in 2015.

All lessons are content-based and address a wide variety of topics chosen to meet students' interests and needs. Authentic examples of texts provided include news, magazine, and interview articles; academic texts; and essays. Each content-based lesson incorporates learning objectives based on the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages' Five Cs and includes pre-lesson activities, a main reading, vocabulary exercises, comprehension questions, discussion and debate activities, and further reading.

Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to course textbooks and workbooks, KLEAR volumes include: Korean Reader for Chinese Characters, Korean Composition, Selected Readings in Korean, Readings in Modern Korean Literature, Korean Language in Culture and Society, and A Resource for Korean Grammar Instruction. A Dictionary of Korean Grammar and Usage is forthcoming.
