Author Description

"The My Korean series of textbooks are user-friendly and accessible, taking a student-centered and interactive approach to learning Korean through popular culture. Engaging themes, real-life situations, and cultural insights allow learners to connect with all aspects of Korean life, from K-pop and dramas to authentic cuisine and travel experiences, while building a strong foundation in the language. My Korean: Step 2 uses authentic dialogues based on real-life and interactive activities and tasks that encourage students' active participation. The textbook is arranged thematically around topics that high-beginner and intermediate-low level learners of Korean are likely to encounter in their studies. Each lesson contains dialogues, definitions of new words, clear explanations of grammar and expressions, grammar-related exercises, task-based activities, cultural notes, and expanded vocabulary related to each theme. Video clips of lesson dialogues are also available as an online resource. The engaging structure and communicative approach make My Korean: Step 2 an ideal textbook for beyond first-semester-level Korean courses and is a valuable resource for individual self-study and one-on-one or group tutorials on the Korean language and culture"--
